The GE DS200TBPAG1A is a specialized circuit board known as a PLC Termination Board. It is a key component of the legacy GE Speedtronic Mark V series of industrial control systems, which are primarily used in the power generation industry for controlling turbines.
Key Features and Function
- PLC Termination Interface: The board’s primary function is to serve as a termination point for signals between the main Mark V control system and an external Programmable Logic Controller (PLC). This allows the turbine control system to communicate with other plant control systems or automation platforms.
- Analog and Digital Signal Handling: The board is designed to handle both analog and digital I/O signals. It provides a clean and organized way to manage wiring from external devices and route them to the Mark V system.
- Mark V Series: This board is an integral part of the Mark V series, a legacy control system known for its high-reliability and triple-redundant architecture. The board plays a crucial role in integrating the Mark V system into a larger plant-wide control scheme.
- On-Board Jumpers: The board includes a series of jumpers that can be configured to enable or disable specific signals, which allows for customization of the board’s functionality without having to physically rewire the system.
- Obsolete Status: As a component of the discontinued Mark V series, the DS200TBPAG1A 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.
- Robust Design: The board is often conformal coated to protect it from environmental contaminants such as dust, moisture, and chemicals, ensuring its reliability in harsh industrial environments.
