Functional Description

DS3800XPER1A1B is a PC Isolation Card developed by GE. It is a part of the Mark IV control system. This isolation card serves as an intermediary, ensuring electrical isolation between different components of the system. Isolation cards prevent electrical interference and safeguard sensitive control equipment from potential surges or noise.

Features

• Terminal Block Integration: The card includes a terminal block with 12 numbered terminals (1 through 12) for easy identification and connectivity. Each terminal is also labeled with functional identifiers such as TDH (Top Data High), TDL (Top Data Low), ISLD (Isolated Line), GND (Ground), RDH (Return Data High), RDL (Return Data Low). These labels help in precise wiring and configuration during installation or maintenance.
• Electrical Isolation: Provides robust isolation to protect the connected circuitry from voltage fluctuations, ensuring the stability and safety of the Mark IV control system.
• Compact Design: The card is designed to integrate seamlessly with other components in the Mark IV system, making it space-efficient and user-friendly.

Characteristics

• Provides galvanic isolation between the PC and external systems to protect against voltage surges and ground loops.
• Minimizes electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk, ensuring reliable data transmission.
• Facilitates the connection of devices with differing signal standards (e.g., TTL to RS-232).
• Shields the PC and peripherals from potential damage caused by power faults in connected equipment.
• Enhances the overall stability and longevity of the system by preventing electrical faults.
