Functional Description

DS200TCRAG1B is a Relay Output Board designed and developed by GE. It is a part of Mark V control system. The Digital Relay Output Board (TCRA), situated within the digital cores, is equipped with a maximum of 30 relays, labeled K1 through K30. Each digital I/O core typically includes two boards. The TCRA board in location four of the Q11 core has only four relays, which are linked to the TCQE via the JO connector. These specific relays are used to control gas manifold blow-off valves in certain applications. All other TCRA boards, including those in location five of Q11 and Q51 cores, comprise a full complement of 30 relays.

Features

• In particular, the first 18 relays on the TCRA board in location four of the Q51 core can be configured to supply power for operating solenoids. Additionally, the first 16 relays on the board in location five of both the Q11 and Q51 cores can be configured in a similar manner. This configuration is facilitated through the use of hardware jumpers on the DTBC and DTBD terminal boards.
• For added functionality, two extra contact outputs, designated as #47 and #48, can be enabled on the board in location five of either the Q11 or Q51 cores by connecting power through connectors J19 and J20. These connectors deliver 120/240 V AC power from the PD core to the DTBD board within one of the cores, commonly employed for ignition transformers. The instructions to open or close the relays are transmitted to the TCRA boards by the TCDA boards in the digital cores.
• It is important to note that the first 18 solenoid outputs in the Q21 core cannot be reconfigured to function as solenoid power sources.

Connectors

• JO: This function is responsible for transmitting signals from the TCDA board to the TCRA board in location five for Q11, Q21, and Q51. It also transmits signals from the TCDA board to the TCRA board in location four of the Q21 and Q51 cores. In the Q11 core, it transfers signals from the TCQE board in the R1 core to the TCRA board in location four, controlling the gas manifold blow-off valve.
• JS1: This connector links relay outputs to the terminal board.
• JS2: This connector also connects relay outputs to the DTBC/D terminal board.
• JS3: Similar to JS2, JS3 connects relay outputs to the DTBC/D terminal board.
• JS4: This connector, like JS2 and JS3, connects relay outputs to terminal board.
• JS5: This connector links relay outputs
• JS6: This connector connects relay output
• JS7: This connector also links relay outputs from TCRA to the DTBC/D terminal board.
• JS8: Similarly, this connector connects relay outputs 
• JOR/S/T: These connectors are not used in the described setup.

Configuration

Hardware

• The hardware configuration responsible for supplying power to the relays or converting them to solenoids is conducted at the terminal board level, specifically on the DTBC and DTBD terminal boards.

Software

• No software configuration is required or conducted directly on the TCRA board.
