Product Brief Description

The GE 369B1873G5002 BDI11 Digital Input Base is a module designed for the GE Mark VIe control system, serving as a termination point for 24 channels of discrete (on/off) digital input signals. This component is an upgrade from the BDI10 and is used to connect field devices such as switches and sensors to the control system’s I/O modules, enabling the reliable monitoring of a greater number of signals.

Detailed Product Description

The 369B1873G5002, or BDI11, is a key component for gathering digital input data. It is specifically designed for standard, non-redundant (simplex) applications, similar to its BDI10 counterpart, where a single input signal connects to a single I/O module. The main distinction is its increased capacity. With 24 channels, the BDI11 is suited for applications requiring a higher density of inputs, providing a more compact and efficient solution than using multiple BDI10 bases. It provides a secure and organized method for wiring field devices to the system, which is crucial for maintaining signal integrity and system reliability.

Functional Role in a System

Within a Mark VIe system, the 369B1873G5002 functions as the interface between field devices and the control system. Field wiring from a device is connected to a terminal on the base, which then routes the signal to the corresponding I/O module. This module processes the signal and transmits the data to the system controller. The BDI11’s increased channel count allows for a more streamlined setup, reducing the number of physical components and the wiring complexity for larger systems.

Common Applications

The BDI11 digital input base is ideal for a variety of industrial control applications where a higher number of non-redundant inputs is required, including:

  • Large-Scale Process Control: Monitoring the status of numerous pumps, motors, and other equipment in a single, concentrated area.
  • Expanded Machine Control: Reading a larger number of limit switches, proximity sensors, and other state indicators on complex machinery.
  • Industrial Automation: Handling a greater volume of signals from pushbuttons, emergency stops, and interlock sensors.
