Product Brief Description
The GE 369B1874G5001 is a Digital Output Base (BDO10) that provides 16 AC relay outputs. Unlike a terminal board, a base module often serves as the physical foundation for other components, such as an I/O pack, connecting them to the field wiring. This specific base is designed to switch alternating current (AC) loads, making it suitable for controlling devices like AC motors, solenoids, or indicator lights.
Detailed Product Description
This module acts as an intermediate component within a GE industrial control system, typically mounted on a DIN rail. It provides the physical terminals and relay logic to interface a digital output I/O pack with 16 external AC-powered devices. The relays on this board are specifically rated for AC voltage and current, ensuring safe and reliable switching of AC loads. The base design allows for easy installation and maintenance, as the I/O pack can be replaced without disturbing the field wiring.
Key Features and Specifications
- Part Number: 369B1874G5001
- Module Type: Digital Output Base (BDO10)
- Channels: 16 AC relay outputs
- Primary Function: Provides a base for I/O packs and switches AC loads for external devices.
- Mounting: Designed for DIN rail installation.
- Output Type: AC relay contacts (typically Normally Open)
- Benefits: Handles AC power for a wide range of industrial equipment, provides clear separation between control logic and field wiring, and simplifies maintenance.
Functional Role in a System
The primary role of the 369B1874G5001 is to bridge the gap between the low-voltage DC logic of a controller and the high-voltage AC requirements of a machine or process. A signal from the controller’s I/O pack energizes a relay on the base module, closing the contacts and completing the AC circuit to power an external device. This is crucial for applications that use standard AC equipment and require a robust, isolated interface.
Common Applications
This base module is commonly found in industrial environments to control various AC loads:
- Motor Control: Starting and stopping small AC motors.
- Solenoid Valves: Activating AC-powered solenoid valves for fluid or gas control.
- Lighting: Controlling industrial lighting systems or indicator lamps.
- Heating Elements: Turning on/off AC heating elements in process equipment.
