Introduction
The EX2100 Excitation Control System is GE’s latest state-of-the-art control offer-
ing for both new and retrofit steam, gas, or hydro generation. GE has supplied more
than 6,000 full static and regulator systems in over 70 countries during the last 40
years. EX2100 is GE’s third generation digital excitation control system. There are
over 1,000 first and second-generation GE digital excitation controls operating in 27
countries. Hardware and software design is closely coordinated between GE’s sys-
tem engineering and controls engineering to ensure delivery of a true system solu-
tion. Integration between EX2100, Mark VI, Mark VI Integrated Control System
(ICS), LS2100 Static Starter, and human-machine interface (HMI) is seamless. For
stand-alone retrofit applications, integration with customer distributed control sys-
tems (DCS) through serial or Ethernet ModBus is supported.

The control module assembly contains up to six boards interconnected through the
backplane and cabled to their associated I/O terminal boards: (see photo below)
• The main processor board (ACLA)
• The digital signal processor board (DSPX)
• Two I/O boards - IS200EMIO Exciter Main I/O Board (EMIO) and IS200ESEL

Cabinet
The exciter lineup is supplied in a NEMA 1/IP20 freestanding, indoor-type metal
cabinet for floor mounting installation. The lineup consists of several cabinets bolted
together, with cable entry through the top or bottom. The equipment is designed to
operate in an ambient temperature range of 0° C to 40° C, but custom applications
may support up to 50° C.
The standard cabinet color is Each cabinet consists of a rigid, self-supporting, enclosed panel with a full-length
ANSI-70 (light gray) on both door to provide easy access to the equipment. The panel back serves as the rear of
exterior and interior surfaces. the cabinet. Each door is equipped with a suitable handle, three-point latch, and pro-
visions for locking. The power bridge doors do not have handles, but are bolted
closed to support code requirements.
Control Boards
Application Control Layer Module (ACLA)
The ACLA is a scaleable microprocessor-based controller, used for communication
and control in the exciter. It mounts in the backplane and occupies two half-slots.
The ACLA is based on a processor operating at 100 MHz, supporting 8 MB of dy-
namic random access memory (DRAM) and a 4 MB flash memory basic in-
put/output system (BIOS). The ACLA is used as a communication gateway to
external machines and as an outer loop controller/regulator.

Dc Interrupting Device
For most applications a field interrupting dc contactor in the rectifier bridge dc posi-
tive output is used to connect the exciter to the generator field leads. The dc contac-
tor and the de-excitation module together form the internal field breaker function
used to remove stored energy in the generator field during trip events. Often, two dc
contactors are provided to interrupt both the positive and negative field leads.
For some applications, an external exciter field breaker is offered. Dc field breakers
interrupt the output of the exciter and use a shorting contact to de-excite the genera-
tor field through a discharge resistor. For many applications, the dc field breakers
may use a de-excitation module in place of the shorting contractor as a more cost ef-
fective option.
Ac Isolation Device
An internal manual ac disconnect switch is offered for small to medium size systems,
below 600 V ac. This switch is a disconnect device between the secondary of the
PPT and the power bridge in the static exciter. In most cases, it is a molded case, 3-
phase, manually operated, panel-mounted switch. This switch permits the customer
to close and open the ac input supply.
An external ac disconnect breaker can be offered for larger systems. This breaker is a
disconnect device between the secondary of the PPT and the static exciter. It may be
a molded-case or a vacuum breaker supporting remote control. This breaker permits
the customer to close and open the ac input supply.
