Functional Description

IS200STAIS2ACB is a compact analog input terminal board developed by GE. It is part of the Mark VIe series. The board serves as a condensed analog input terminal designed to handle a variety of input types and connect seamlessly with the PAIC pack. With the capacity to accommodate 10 analog inputs and two analog outputs, its versatility extends to supporting two-wire, three-wire, four-wire, or externally powered transmitters. The compact design, compatibility with multiple input types, configurable analog outputs, terminal block type, and onboard identification chip collectively establish it as a versatile and reliable component within systems requiring analog input and output functionality.

Features

• The ten analog inputs present the flexibility needed for diverse transmitter configurations, ensuring compatibility with different systems. Additionally, the two analog outputs operate within the 0-20 mA range, with one output capable of being jumper configured to a 0-200 mA current, expanding the board's adaptability to varying output requirements.
• This board exclusively offers a simplex version, providing a singular but efficient configuration option for users. Its utilization of high-density Euro-block type terminal blocks enhances connectivity and reliability, contributing to seamless integration into different setups.
• Moreover, the onboard ID chip plays a crucial role by uniquely identifying the board to the PAIC, enabling streamlined system diagnostics. This feature facilitates quick and accurate troubleshooting processes, enhancing overall system efficiency and maintenance.

Configuration

The configuration process for the terminal board involves utilizing jumpers to customize its functionality based on specific requirements. These jumpers, identified by their locations as indicated in the installation diagram, offer various settings:

• Jumpers J1A through J8A: These jumpers enable the selection between current input or voltage input for their respective locations on the board. This choice allows users to configure each input channel according to the type of input signal received.
• Jumpers J1B through J8B: These jumpers determine whether the return is connected to common or left open for each designated location on the board. This selection impacts how the return path for the input signal is managed.
• Jumpers J9A and J10A: These jumpers specifically select between 1 mA or 20 mA input current for their respective positions on the board. This customization option enables precise calibration of the input current for the corresponding channels.
• Jumpers J9B and J10B: Similar to J1B through J8B, these jumpers decide whether the return is connected to common or left open for the specific channels associated with J9A and J10A.
• Jumper J0: This jumper configures output 1 and serves as a crucial setting for determining whether the output operates at either 20 mA or 200 mA. This adjustment is pivotal for matching the output specifications required for the system.
• Notably, all other configurations related to VAIC or PAIC are performed using tools from the toolbox. This implies that adjustments beyond the jumper settings, such as advanced configurations or system-level settings, are managed and fine-tuned using dedicated tools provided in the system toolbox.
• The jumper-based configuration system offers users flexibility in tailoring the terminal board's input and output characteristics to suit the specific needs of the system or application. Careful selection and placement of these jumpers allow for precise control over input types, current levels, and output specifications, ensuring optimal performance and compatibility within the overall system architecture.
