Key Features

1. Precision Servo Loop Control
   • Executes high-speed closed-loop control algorithms for 4 servo channels, ensuring accurate and stable valve positioning.
   • Supports independent tuning of each channel for optimal dynamic performance across varying load conditions.
2. LVDT Position Feedback & Excitation
   • Provides integrated LVDT excitation power and signal conditioning, eliminating the need for external modules.
   • Accepts redundant LVDT inputs (1–4 per channel) for fault-tolerant position monitoring and validation.
3. TMR Redundancy & Fault Tolerance
   • Designed for seamless integration into Mark VI TMR systems, with 3 units operating in parallel for critical applications.
   • Features dedicated “kill relays” for each servo output, which short-circuit signals during power loss or faults to ensure safe system state.
4. Robust Industrial Design
   • Conformal-coated PCB protects against dust, moisture, and chemical contaminants in power plant environments.
   • Compact VME form factor enables easy installation and replacement in standard industrial control cabinets.
   • Hot-swappable design minimizes maintenance downtime during board replacement.
5. Comprehensive Diagnostics & Monitoring
   • On-board LEDs display real-time operational status (normal run, fault conditions, system status).
   • Continuous monitoring of output voltage, current, and kill relay status for proactive fault detection.
   • Supports remote diagnostics via the Mark VI system for efficient troubleshooting and maintenance.
