Functional Description
IS200TBCIH1A is a contact input terminal board developed by General Electric. It is a part of Mark VI control system. The Contact Input Terminal Board (TBCI) offers robust capabilities for processing dry contact inputs. Designed to accommodate up to 24 dry contact inputs, providing ample connectivity for monitoring various signals or events within the industrial environment. These inputs are wired to two barrier type terminal blocks, simplifying installation and organization.
Features
- Contact Excitation and Power Supply: Dc power is supplied to facilitate contact excitation, ensuring reliable operation of the connected dry contacts. This power supply mechanism enables the activation and detection of contact closures, essential for monitoring system status or external events.
- Noise Suppression Circuitry: To safeguard against electrical disturbances and ensure signal integrity, the contact inputs are equipped with noise suppression circuitry. These circuits effectively suppress surge events and high-frequency noise, minimizing the risk of false readings or signal distortion.
- Cable Connections and Integration: In the Mark VI system architecture, cables with molded plugs are utilized to connect the TBCI terminal board to the VME rack, where the VCCC or VCRC processor board is located. This seamless integration ensures efficient communication and data exchange between the terminal board and the control processor.
- Support for Simplex and TMR Systems: Compatible with both simplex and TMR (Triple Modular Redundant) systems, offering flexibility to meet diverse application requirements. This compatibility ensures that the TBCI can be seamlessly integrated into various control system configurations, providing reliability and redundancy as needed.
- Board Versions and Compatibility: Available in different versions, such as TBCIH1B and TBCIH2B, which are fully compatible with the Mark VI system. These board versions, including TBCIH1C and TBCIH2C, offer identical functionality and performance, ensuring seamless operation and interchangeability.
- Functionality and Reliability: Delivers robust functionality and reliability, making it an essential component in industrial control and monitoring applications. Its ability to process dry contact inputs with precision and efficiency contributes to the overall effectiveness and performance of the control system.
Cabling Connections
- Simplex System Connection: In a simplex system configuration, connector JR1 is utilized for cabling purposes. This connector serves as the primary interface for connecting cables or I/O packs to the terminal board. It facilitates the transmission of signals between the TBCI and the control processor or other peripheral devices in the control system.
- TMR System Connection: For a Triple Modular Redundant (TMR) system configuration, all three connectors - JR1, JS1, and JT1 - are utilized. These connectors collectively enable the establishment of redundant connections between the board and the control system components. The redundancy ensures fault tolerance and system reliability, enhancing the overall integrity of the control system.
- Cable or I/O Pack Integration: Depending on the specific requirements of the Mark VI or Mark VIe system, as well as the desired level of redundancy, cables or I/O packs are plugged into the appropriate connectors. These cables or I/O packs facilitate the transfer of signals and data between the TBCI and the associated control components, enabling seamless communication and operation.
- System Compatibility and Redundancy: The selection of cables or I/O packs is determined by the system architecture (Mark VI or Mark VIe) and the desired level of redundancy. By plugging in the appropriate cables or I/O packs, users can tailor the configuration to meet specific application requirements, ensuring compatibility and optimal performance within the control system environment.
- Integration Flexibility: The board offers flexibility in cabling connections, accommodating various system configurations and redundancy levels. This flexibility allows users to configure the control system according to their specific needs, whether it involves a simplex or TMR system architecture, ensuring adaptability and scalability in diverse industrial applications.
