Core Functions
Core Computing and Control Unit of the Excitation System
As the main control core of the entire excitation regulator, it realizes automatic voltage regulation by AVR, reactive power regulation, and closed-loop control of power factor, and completes precise closed-loop computing and control of generator excitation current, stator voltage, and reactive power.
Signal Acquisition and Logic Interlock Processing
Receive analog quantity signals such as voltage, current, frequency, and speed collected by the UNS2881A-P measurement board, complete fault logic judgment, over-excitation, under-excitation, overcurrent, loss of excitation, low-frequency protection logic operations, and output trip, alarm, and restriction instructions.
Switching of Multiple Circuit Control Modes
Support automatic/manual excitation dual mode without disturbance switching, constant voltage/constant reactive power/constant power factor multiple regulation methods, and possess standard excitation control functions such as soft starting excitation, inverter disconnection, fault reduced excitation, etc.
System Communication and Data Interaction
Board-mounted high-speed backplane bus, real-time data interaction with measurement board, rectifier interface board, and display panel
Support Profibus, RS485, etc. industrial buses, connect to power plant DCS/PLC system, upload telemetry, telemetry, fault SOE events, receive remote regulation instructions
Local Debugging Interface, used for parameter loading, fault recording, event log reading, firmware upgrade
Fault Storage and System Self-Diagnosis
Can save fault waveforms and action event records, with fault data remaining for approximately 48 hours after power loss; real-time monitoring of board card, power supply, communication, and acquisition channel status, actively sending alarm information for abnormal conditions, facilitating fault traceability and troubleshooting.
