Functional Description

IS210DVIBH1B is a vibration terminal board developed by GE. It is a part of the Mark VI control system. It is specifically designed to facilitate vibration monitoring in demanding industrial environments. Engineered for reliability and performance, the board offers versatile connectivity options and robust construction to meet stringent operational requirements.

Features

• Compact Design for DIN-Rail Mounting: The board features a compact form factor suitable for DIN-rail mounting, allowing for easy installation and integration within industrial enclosures or control panels. Its space-efficient design optimizes utilization of available space while ensuring compatibility with standard mounting configurations.
• Compliance with UL 1604 Specification: Designed to adhere to the UL 1604 specification, the board is certified for operation in hazardous environments classified as Class 1, Division 2. This certification underscores its suitability for use in areas where flammable gases, vapors, or liquids may be present, ensuring compliance with safety standards and regulations.
• Versatile Input Options: Offers a comprehensive array of input options to accommodate various vibration monitoring requirements. It accepts inputs from 13 vibration probes, comprising eight vibration inputs, four position inputs, and one keyphasor input. This versatile configuration enables comprehensive monitoring of vibration parameters critical for asset health assessment and predictive maintenance strategies.
• Connection to VVIB Processor Board: To facilitate communication and data processing, the board connects to the VVIB (Vibration Processor Board) using a 37-pin cable. This cable serves as the conduit for transmitting vibration data and control signals between the DVIB and VVIB boards, enabling seamless integration and synchronization of vibration monitoring functions.
• Compatibility with TVIB Terminal Board: Notably, the cables used to connect the board to the VVIB processor board are identical to those employed with the larger TVIB (Terminal Vibration Board). This standardization ensures compatibility and interchangeability between different terminal board configurations, offering flexibility in system design and scalability in deployment.
• Support for Multiple Boards: The VVIB processor board is capable of accommodating two boards simultaneously, enabling expanded monitoring capabilities within the system. This scalability allows for the simultaneous monitoring of multiple vibration points, enhancing the granularity and depth of vibration analysis for improved asset management and condition monitoring.

Installation

• Mounting the Plastic Holder: Begin by sliding the board into the plastic holder provided. The holder is designed for easy attachment to a DIN-rail, a standard mounting solution in industrial environments. Secure the plastic holder onto the DIN-rail to provide a stable base for the DVIB board.
• Wiring Vibration Probes: The vibration probes, essential for monitoring vibration parameters, are wired directly to the terminal block on the board. This terminal block typically features 42 terminals to accommodate multiple probes. Use 18 AWG shielded twisted triplet wiring for reliable signal transmission and noise immunity.
• Grounding (SCOM) Connection: Locate the ground (SCOM) connection points on the board. Ensure that the ground connection is established using a suitable wire gauge, following recommended grounding practices. Use two screws for the SCOM connection to ensure a secure and reliable ground connection.
• Considerations for Ground Connection: When establishing the ground connection, prioritize minimizing the distance between the ground points and the SCOM connection. This helps mitigate the risk of signal interference and ensures optimal performance of the vibration monitoring system.
• Final Checks: Before finalizing the installation, perform thorough checks to ensure all connections are secure and properly terminated. Verify the integrity of the wiring and ground connections to prevent potential issues during operation.
• Integration with System: Once the board is securely mounted and all connections are verified, integrate it into the larger system architecture. Ensure that it is properly connected to the VVIB processor board using the designated 37-pin cable for seamless communication and data transmission.
• Testing and Calibration: After installation, conduct comprehensive testing and calibration procedures to validate the functionality of the board and ensure accurate vibration monitoring. Verify proper communication with the VVIB processor board and confirm the responsiveness of connected vibration probes.
• Documentation and Maintenance: Document the installation process and keep detailed records for future reference. Regular maintenance and inspection of the DVIB board and associated components are essential to ensure continued reliability and performance.

Diagnostics

• Hardware and Software Limit Checks: Diagnostic tests incorporate a high/low limit check on the probe input signals, assessing both hardware and software parameters. These limits are established to detect abnormalities and deviations from expected values. Any breaches of these limits result in the generation of faults, signaling potential issues that require attention.
• Probe Fault Detection: Special attention is given to probe inputs, where fault, alarm, or trip conditions are triggered if either an X or Y probe pair exceeds its predefined limits. This comprehensive monitoring ensures timely detection of anomalies in vibration levels or other measured parameters, facilitating proactive maintenance and troubleshooting.
• Position Monitoring: Position inputs for thrust wear protection, differential expansion, and eccentricity are meticulously monitored, akin to vibration inputs. However, in this case, only the DC component is utilized for position indication. If the maximum limit is surpassed, a fault is promptly generated, indicating potential issues in machinery operation or component integrity.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is IS210DVIBH1B?
It is a vibration terminal board developed by GE under the Mark VI series.

What diagnostic checks are performed on the probe input signals?
Diagnostics include a high/low limit check on the probe input signals, both at the hardware and software levels. These checks ensure that the signals from the vibration probes remain within acceptable ranges, detecting deviations that could indicate potential issues or faults.

What conditions trigger a probe fault, alarm, or trip?
A probe fault, alarm, or trip condition occurs if either of an X or Y probe pair exceeds its limits. This means that if any of the paired probes detects vibrations beyond the specified thresholds, it triggers a fault condition, signaling the need for further investigation or action.

How are position inputs monitored, and what conditions lead to faults?
Position inputs for thrust wear protection, differential expansion, and eccentricity are monitored similarly to vibration inputs, with the exception that only the DC component is utilized for position indication. If the DC component exceeds the maximum limit, a fault is generated, indicating a potential issue with the monitored parameters.

What is the purpose of the high/low system limit checks in diagnostics?
The high/low system limit checks, performed at the software level, complement the hardware limit checks by providing additional layers of fault detection. These system limit checks ensure that the overall system operates within predefined boundaries, helping to prevent abnormal conditions or potential damage to equipment.
