CONTROL PANEL FACTORY TEST Clause Samples

CONTROL PANEL FACTORY TEST. (OBSERVE) The gas turbine control panels are manufactured at GE's Salem, Virginia plant. Components and modules such as electronic cards and page assemblies undergo extensive inspection and automated computer testing before they arrive at final assembly. All modules with back plane wiring are automatically machine wired and computer checked. After the components and modules are assembled in their parent panel, the equipment is made ready for final test and inspection. The major portions of this procedure include testing and checking of the following: - All final assembly wiring - Power distribution and supply systems - Input/output systems - Automated (PC based) hardware loop back-checks - System operation using test software - Customized requisition software checked in a "Software Test Bed" facility using permanent electronic modules for test - For a control panel installed in a control compartment, interfaces between generator control panel and other compartment systems.
