The GE DS200DTBDG1A is a specialized circuit board known as a Contact Output Expansion Termination Module for the Mark V series of turbine control systems. It is not a modern, standalone PLC module but an obsolete printed circuit board (PCB) that acts as an interface for relay and solenoid outputs.
Key Features and Function
- Contact Output Expansion: Its primary function is to expand and terminate contact outputs from the main control system. This is a vital component for applications that require a significant number of output connections to control various external devices like solenoids, motors, and relays.
- Relay and Solenoid Outputs: The board provides a way to manage and control relay and solenoid outputs. These are the signals that the Mark V control system uses to activate or deactivate field devices. The outputs can be configured for either dry contact outputs or for providing 125 VDC power to solenoids using hardware jumpers.
- Mark V Series: This board is a component of the GE Speedtronic Mark V series, a legacy control system widely used in the power generation industry for controlling gas, steam, and wind turbines. The system is known for its high reliability and triple-redundant processors for critical functions.
- Conformal Coating: The board is often conformal coated, which provides a protective layer over the PCB. This coating is designed to guard against environmental contaminants such as dust, moisture, and chemical exposure, thereby ensuring the module’s durability and reliability in challenging operational conditions.
- Obsolete Status: As a component of the discontinued Mark V series, the DS200DTBDG1A is considered an obsolete part. It is no longer manufactured by GE and is typically sourced from new old stock, surplus vendors, or specialized repair and refurbishment companies.
