Series: Mark VI

Functional Description

IS200TBCAH1A is a Terminal Board developed by GE. It is a part of the Mark VI control system. To minimize risks associated with the fan-out circuit as a potential single point of failure, the board uses minimal active circuitry, primarily filters and protective devices. Output power typically comes from the I/O board, but separate power plugs are provided for high-demand applications like relays and solenoids.

Features

• Customer Wiring Connection Point: The terminal board serves as a centralized hub for customer wiring connections. It simplifies wiring management by fanning out signals to multiple connectors.
• DC-37 Pin Connectors: The board features three DC-37 pin connectors, which are used to establish cable connections to the R, S, and T I/O boards. These connectors enhance modularity and ease of integration within the Mark VI control system.
• Specialized I/O Board Compatibility: Each type of I/O board requires a corresponding terminal board, customized to its functionality.
• Variants include: Non-fanning terminal boards with two connectors for single I/O board connections. Fanning terminal boards with six connectors for multi-board connections (R, S, T).
• Active Circuitry Minimization: The terminal board is designed with minimal active circuitry to reduce the risk of single-point failures. Primary components include filters and protective devices to ensure signal integrity and safeguard the system against electrical faults.
• Power Supply Design: For most outputs, power is supplied directly from the connected I/O board. For high-demand applications like relay and solenoid outputs, the terminal board includes separate power plugs to handle additional power requirements.
• Reliability and Safety: The terminal board adheres to stringent design standards, ensuring reliability and robustness in demanding industrial environments. The fanning-out feature, while functional, is carefully implemented to minimize risks associated with potential single-point failures.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is IS200TBCAH1A?
It is a Terminal Board developed by GE under the Mark VI series.

What are DC-37 pin connectors used for?
These connectors provide a modular interface to connect the terminal board and the I/O boards (R, S, and T).

How is power supplied to the terminal board outputs?
Most outputs receive power directly from the connected I/O board. For certain high-demand outputs like relays and solenoids, separate power plugs are mounted on the terminal board to provide additional power.

What makes the fan-out circuit a potential single-point failure?
The fan-out circuit distributes signals across multiple connectors. If it fails, it could disrupt connections to multiple I/O boards simultaneously.
