Functional Description
IS200JPDDG3AAA is a Power Distribution Board developed by GE. It is a part of Mark VIe control system. The board facilitates DC power distribution, providing power to control or I/O functions that require either 125 V DC or 24 V DC power. It ensures reliable power delivery to connected devices within the system. With built-in isolation mechanisms, the board ensures that power supplied to different functions or devices remains isolated, preventing interference or disruptions between circuits.
Features
- Branch Circuit Protection: Each output on the board is equipped with a fuse, offering branch circuit protection. These fuses safeguard against overcurrent conditions and protect connected devices from potential damage due to electrical faults.
- Indication Lamps: To provide visual feedback on the status of output voltage, each output is accompanied by a lamp. These lamps illuminate to indicate the presence of an output voltage, enabling quick visual verification of power availability.
- Switches: Additionally, switches are incorporated into each output, allowing for manual control of the power supply for specific functions or devices. This feature offers flexibility in power management and troubleshooting.
- DC Relay and Solenoid Control Power: Provide power to DC relays and solenoids, essential components in industrial control systems for switching and controlling various processes or equipment.
- Contact Wetting: In applications requiring contact wetting, where electrical contacts are periodically activated to prevent oxidation and ensure reliable conductivity, the board plays a crucial role in supplying power to these functions.
- Not Intended for I/O Pack Power Distribution: It's important to note that the JPDD board is not intended for power distribution to the I/O packs. Its design and functionalities are optimized for control and I/O functions requiring specific DC power voltages and branch circuit protection.
Module Installation
- Mounting Procedure: Housed within a plastic holder designed for mounting on a vertical DIN-rail. Secure the plastic holder onto the DIN-rail using appropriate mounting hardware, ensuring a stable and secure fit. Align within the plastic holder, ensuring proper positioning for easy access to terminals, switches, and indication lamps. Verify that the board is securely seated within the holder to prevent any movement during operation.
- Grounding Requirements: When installing the board, it's essential to establish a ground connection from terminal block TB1 to the system ground. This ground lead serves to create a reliable ground path for the metal switch bodies present on the board. Ensure that the system ground is established according to applicable electrical standards and regulations. This typically involves connecting the system ground to a designated ground bus or terminal within the control system enclosure.
- Safety Considerations: Before applying power to the system, verify the continuity of the ground connection between TB1 and the system ground. This ensures that the ground path is established correctly and provides effective protection against electrical hazards. Insulate exposed wiring and terminals to prevent accidental contact or short circuits. Use protective covers or shields as necessary to safeguard against inadvertent tampering or damage during operation.
- Testing and Verification: Once the board is installed and grounded, perform functional testing to verify proper operation of the board. Test each output circuit, switches, and indication lamps to ensure they function as intended. Conduct safety compliance checks to ensure that the installation adheres to relevant safety standards and regulations. Verify proper grounding, insulation, and protection measures to mitigate risks associated with electrical hazards.
Configuration
- Examine the position of the six output load switches. These switches regulate the load distribution across different circuits or components. Verify that their positions align with the desired configuration for optimal performance.
- This board supports various fuse ratings to accommodate specific branch circuit requirements. A recommended series of fuses compatible with this board is the Bussmann ABC series. These fuses come in ratings ranging from .25 A to 15 A, providing flexibility in circuit protection.
- It's crucial to adhere to the recommended fuse ratings. Fuses exceeding 15 A should not be used with this board to prevent potential damage or hazards.
- While the Bussmann ABC series is suggested, alternative fuse ratings can be utilized based on specific needs. However, when employing different fuse ratings, ensure proper configuration by inserting the appropriate fuse in each branch circuit. This step guarantees that the board operates within safe parameters and effectively safeguards connected components.
Input Power Connections
It features multiple input connections to receive power from various sources. These connections are designed for flexibility and high capacity to accommodate the power needs of the control system:
- 2-pin Connection (125 V DC, 15A): This connection is used to receive 125 V DC power, typically from a JPDx unit or another JPDD module. The 15A rating indicates the maximum current the board can handle on this input connection.
- 4-pin Connection (24 V DC, 30A): Another input is a 4-pin connection designed to receive 24 V DC power at a higher current rating of 30A. This allows the board to support a larger number of connected components or systems that require substantial power.
- Auxiliary Power Input (TB2): The Power Distribution Board also has an auxiliary power input via TB2, which provides additional flexibility in connecting secondary power sources when needed.
Output Power Connections
It provides multiple output connections to distribute power to other components within the control system, such as TRLY (relay) or TBCI (I/O module). These outputs are designed with built-in fuses for added protection:
- Six 2-pin Connections for 24 V DC or 125 V DC Output: These six output connections supply 24 V DC or 125 V DC power to connected components, such as relays or other circuit boards. Each output is fused for protection, ensuring safe operation by preventing damage from overloads or short circuits.
- 2-pin Connection for Output Power to Another JPDD (125 V DC): One of the output connections allows the distribution of 125 V DC power to another JPDD module, extending the power distribution network to other parts of the system that require this voltage.
- 4-pin Connection for Output Power to Another JPDD: A 4-pin output connection is provided to supply power to another JPDD unit, which may require 24 V DC or 125 V DC. This connection allows for daisy-chaining or cascading multiple power distribution boards to extend power throughout the control system.
