Features:
- Measures four magnetic speed-pickup channels for control and fast overspeed protection.
- Combines generator and bus PT signals with breaker feedback for synchronization.
- Interfaces eight flame detectors and three trip-solenoid driver paths through Mark VI trip hardware.
The VTUR processor brings turbine speed, generator phasing, breaker state, flame status, and trip commands into one coordinated VME function.
Its fast overspeed path can initiate protective action within 30 ms when the configured limit is exceeded, while the controller continues to receive detailed status and diagnostic data.
Simplex and TMR racks use different signal distributions, so cable destinations and terminal assemblies must match the installed project rather than a generic board diagram.
Apter Power supplies the General Electric IS200VTURH1B VME Turbine Interface Board for qualified Mark VI maintenance and replacement requirements.

Fast protective speed path
- Inputs: Four pulse-rate channels accept independent magnetic pickups.
- Decision basis: Configured speed constants convert pulse frequency to shaft speed.
- Trip timing: The fast path is designed to act within 30 ms.
- Redundancy: TMR logic compares the available speed evidence across protection paths.
- Validity: Missing pulses, noise, or wiring faults must be distinguished from true overspeed.
- Disagreement check: A channel disagreement should lead first to pickup waveform, polarity, air-gap, and cabling checks, followed by comparison of the configured constants used by IS200VTURH1B.
Generator-to-bus matching
- Voltage references: Generator and bus PT channels supply the synchronization measurements.
- Breaker state: The interface tracks breaker feedback used by the permissive sequence.
- Phase relationship: Phasing and polarity must agree with the plant drawings.
- Control outcome: Synchronizing logic depends on valid voltage, frequency, and breaker information.
- Diagnostic sequence: If automatic synchronization stalls, compare PT levels and phase rotation, then trace the breaker indication into IS200VTURH1B before modifying the controller application.
- Cable preservation: A board exchange should preserve the existing TTUR cable mapping so generator and bus references are not inadvertently reversed.
Protective I/O boundary
- Flame circuits: Eight detector inputs enter through the trip-terminal hardware.
- Trip outputs: Three solenoid-driver paths support the shutdown architecture.
- Terminal assemblies: TTUR and TRPG hardware connect the field devices to the VME processor.
- Fail-safe review: Supply, fuse, solenoid, and feedback checks remain part of diagnosis.
- Hardware identity: Connected board type and revision must match the downloaded configuration.
- End-to-end proof: IS200VTURH1B status alone cannot prove the health of a flame detector or trip solenoid; terminal power and end-to-end field continuity are required evidence.
Commissioning checkpoints
- Rack record: Preserve slot number and R/S/T cable destinations before removal.
- Speed channels: Confirm pickup polarity, air gap, and plausible running speed.
- PT channels: Verify generator and bus phasing before synchronization is enabled.
- Trip path: Check flame indications, trip commands, solenoid continuity, and feedback.
- Final state: Require a healthy RUN indication and cleared hardware-identification alarms.
- Return-to-service proof: Return IS200VTURH1B to service only after controller values agree with independent field observations and the approved turbine test procedure.
