Product Brief Description
The GE 369B1873G5001 BDI10 Digital Input Base is a module designed for the GE Mark VIe control system. Its primary role is to provide a physical termination point for 16 channels of discrete (on/off) digital input signals. This base is a key component that interfaces field devices like switches and sensors with the control system’s I/O modules, allowing for reliable monitoring of a variety of signals.
Detailed Product Description
The 369B1873G5001 is a foundational component for collecting digital input data. Unlike redundant boards, this base is designed for standard, non-redundant (simplex) applications where a single input signal is connected to a single I/O module. The base provides a secure and organized way to wire field devices to the system, helping to ensure signal integrity. Its 16-channel capacity makes it suitable for applications with a moderate number of inputs, offering a compact and efficient solution for signal termination.
Key Features and Specifications

- Module Type: Digital Input Base (BDI10)
- Channels: 16 digital input channels
- Input Type: Discrete (on/off) signals
- Redundancy: Designed for simplex (non-redundant) applications.
- Primary Function: Provides wiring termination for discrete input signals.
- Compatibility: Used with GE Mark VIe I/O modules.
Functional Role in a System
In a standard Mark VIe system, the 369B1873G5001 acts as the connection point for field wiring. A single wire from a sensor or switch is connected to a terminal on the base. The base then routes this signal to a corresponding digital input module, which digitizes the signal and sends the data to the controller. This simple, direct connection is used in systems where triple modular redundancy is not required, providing a cost-effective solution for monitoring basic on/off states of field equipment.
Common Applications
This digital input base is utilized in various industrial control scenarios that do not demand the high-availability and redundancy of a TMR system. It is commonly found in:
- General Process Control: Monitoring the status of pumps, motors, and valves.
- Machine Control: Reading limit switch positions and other machine state indicators.
- Building Automation: Receiving signals from switches and sensors for lights, doors, and alarms.
