GE DS200TCDAH1B MKV, DIG. I/O BD. CONF. C

This board is a key component for managing the on/off state of critical turbine equipment and monitoring alarm conditions. It’s a highly documented product with a single microprocessor and multiple programmable PROM modules, allowing for adaptation to specific system needs.

  • Digital I/O Processing: The DS200TCDAH1B is a versatile digital I/O board that processes signals in both directions. It receives digital contact inputs from field devices like pressure and limit switches, which it then conditions and transmits to the main controller via the IONET network. It also receives commands from the controller to drive digital outputs, energizing or de-energizing relays and solenoids to perform control actions.
  • Configuration C: This specific configuration defines the exact number and type of digital I/O points available on the board. While the core functionality remains consistent across the TCDA series, the CONF. C version is tailored to meet the specific requirements of a particular application, ensuring seamless integration and optimal performance.
  • System Integration & Protection: The TCDA board works in conjunction with other terminal boards in the Mark V system, such as the DTBA and DTBB boards, to receive signals, and with TCRA boards to send output signals. To protect the sensitive internal electronics of the Mark V system, the board’s circuitry provides essential signal conditioning, including noise filtering and electrical isolation. The board also features on-board diagnostics and a block of 10 LEDs to provide visual status and fault indications.
