Functional Description

IS200TAMBH1ABA is an Acoustic Monitoring Terminal Board developed by GE. It is a part of Mark VI series. The board works in tandem with the Acoustic Monitoring Input board. Together, they form the acoustic monitoring system, providing 18 channels of signal conditioning through two nine-channel acoustic monitoring terminal boards (TAMB) and one 18-channel I/O acoustic monitoring sub-assembly. The board extends support to third-party vendors such as Bentley-Nevada, Vibro-Meter, GE/Reuter-Stokes, and others, enabling integration and compatibility within the system.

Features

• Signal Input and Power Supply: Receives an mV output either from the CCSA or a third-party charge amplifier. Power for the charge amplifier is sourced, utilizing a current-limited +24 V or -24 V supply, or from an external power source.
• Terminal Board Identification: The terminal board is equipped with its own ID device containing essential information like the serial number, board type, revision number, and connector locations (JR, JS, JT). This information is read by the I/O board during startup diagnostics for validation.
• Functionality and Connectivity: The module is designed to receive an mV output from either a CCSA board or a third-party charge amplifier. It includes two terminal boards (TB1 and TB2), each equipped with 24 connections and a total of nine channels. These channels are controlled by inputs through DIN connectors on the board, each connecting to a pair of jumpers. The 18 jumpers on the board control both current and voltage inputs.
• Connectors and Interfaces: It is outfitted with two D-type connectors located on its back edge, facilitating interfaces and connectivity within the system.
• Role and Features: The board plays a pivotal role in signal conditioning, connectivity, and third-party integration within the acoustic monitoring system. With its identification capabilities, input management, and connectors, it ensures seamless operation and compatibility within the broader monitoring framework.

Installation

• Power Supply Outputs: Each channel provides current-limited +24 V dc and +24 V dc power supply outputs. These outputs are essential for powering the PCB sensors and other connected devices.
• Signal Input Selection: Features a constant current source connected to the SIGx line for PCB sensors. The input signal, CCSELx, is False (logic-level low) when received through an output on the VAMB. During power-up, it's crucial that the output remains False until configuration parameters are loaded, ensuring proper initialization of the system.
• Hardware Jumper Selection: For each channel, a hardware jumper, JPx (where x is an even number), allows selection between a current input, I_IN, or a voltage input, V_IN. The current input configuration includes a 250 W burden resistor tailored for 4-20 mA circuits connected to the channel.
• Return Line Configuration: Another set of jumpers, JPx (where x is an odd number), checks the configuration of the return line, RETx, relative to the terminal board's power common, PCOM. If JPx is set to PCOM, then RETx is tied to PCOM. Conversely, if JPx is set to OPEN, RETx is not connected to PCOM.
• DC Bias Control: Incorporates a high impedance dc bias for detecting open connections between the charge amplifier or sensor and the terminal board. The dc bias control offers three options:
  • Applying 28 V bias or ground to the signal line.
  • Applying bias between SIGx and the return line.
  • Applying bias specifically to the RETx line.
