Product Brief Description
The GE 369B1868G0008 is an Analog Input Terminal Board designed for industrial control systems within the GE Mark VIe platform. This board is specifically engineered to handle standard process signals such as milliamperes (mA) and voltage (V). It provides a 16-channel interface for monitoring a wide range of general-purpose analog process variables, offering a flexible solution for various industrial applications.
Detailed Product Description
The 369B1868G0008 is a crucial component for distributed control systems using the GE Mark VIe series. It serves as a termination board for standard industrial sensors and transmitters, supporting two primary types of signals:
- Current (mA): The board accepts standard current loop inputs (e.g., 4-20 mA or 0-20 mA) often used for long-distance signal transmission due to its high noise immunity.
- Voltage (V): The board can be configured for various voltage inputs (e.g., 0-10 VDC, +/-10 VDC), commonly used for shorter-distance signal transmission.
This board accepts inputs from up to 16 separate channels (16CHs). It is designed with noise suppression circuitry to condition and protect these signals, ensuring they are accurately converted into a digital format that the controller can process. The input types (mA or V) are typically configured using jumpers on the board.
