GE DS200RTBAG5A Relay Output Card, 24VDC (2PDT Only)

الوصف

The GE DS200RTBAG5A is a specialized Relay Output Card rated for 24VDC that exclusively uses 2PDT (Double Pole, Double Throw) relays. It serves as a crucial interface, translating low-voltage control signals into high-power, isolated outputs with enhanced switching versatility.

Technical Breakdown 🧠

The card’s function is a cornerstone for bridging the gap between control logic and real-world machinery with a focus on flexible switching:

• 2PDT Relays: The key feature of this card is its use of 2PDT (Double Pole, Double Throw) relays. Each relay contains two independent sets of contacts. This allows the card to switch two different circuits simultaneously. This is particularly useful for applications requiring polarity reversal (e.g., for a DC motor) or for switching between two separate power sources. The “Only” in the name signifies that all outputs on the board have this functionality.
• Galvanic Isolation: The use of relays provides galvanic isolation, a critical safety and protection feature. The low-voltage control circuit is completely separated from the output circuit, safeguarding the sensitive electronics of the control system from voltage spikes, electrical noise, and high currents from the field.
• 24VDC Rating: The 24VDC rating specifies the voltage of the output circuits the card can reliably switch. This is a common, low-voltage standard in many industrial applications, valued for its safety and reliability in driving devices like solenoids, contactors, and other auxiliary equipment.

Applications 🏭

The GE DS200RTBAG5A is a vital component in a range of industrial control systems, including:

• Motor Control: For reversing the direction of small DC motors.
• Process Automation: For controlling solenoids, actuators, and valves that require dual-circuit control.
• Redundancy Systems: For switching between primary and backup power sources or control signals.
