Functional Description

DS215TCCAG1BZZ01A is a common analog I/O board developed by GE. It is a part of the Mark V control system. The Common Analog I/O Board is in the R5 core and functions in scaling and conditioning various analog signals from terminal boards within the same core. The board is located in the R5 core and is responsible for scaling and conditioning analog signals from terminal boards such as CTBA, TBQA, and TBCA also mounted in the R5 core. After scaling and conditioning, analog signals are transmitted to the STCA board via the 3PL connector. This connector serves as the interface through which the processed signals are passed on to the STCA board for further processing or integration into the system.

Types of Signals Handled

• 4-20 mA Inputs and Outputs: Used for transmitting current signals within the 4-20 mA range, commonly used in industrial applications for process control.
• RTD Inputs: Resistant Temperature Detectors are used for measuring temperature based on the change in resistance of metals.
• Thermocouple Inputs: Measures temperature based on the voltage difference between two different metals.
• Shaft Voltage Inputs: Monitors voltage levels associated with the shaft of machinery or equipment.
• Shaft Current Inputs: Measures current flowing through the shaft.

Hardware Jumpers

• J1 Jumper: 1 is used to enable or disable the serial RS232 port on the board. This jumper setting determines whether the RS232 port is active for serial communication purposes or inactive to prevent communication via this port.
• JP2 Jumper: JP2 is used to disable the oscillator specifically for card testing purposes. When JP2 is disabled, it stops the oscillator, which is typically used during testing phases to isolate the board for diagnostic procedures.
• JP3 Jumper: JP3 is designated for factory testing purposes. This jumper setting is configured during the factory testing phase to ensure proper functionality and performance verification of the board.

Software Configuration

• Configuration constants for various analog inputs and outputs are set using the I/O Configurator, accessible through the operator interface.
• Settings for thermocouples, RTDs (Resistant Temperature Detectors), milliamp inputs and outputs, shaft voltage, and current inputs are entered and managed within the I/O Configurator.
• These configurations ensure that analog signals from thermocouples, RTDs, milliamp sensors, and shaft measurements are accurately interpreted and processed by the TCCA board for operational monitoring and control.
