Functional Description
IS230TDBSH6A is a Relay Output Terminal Board developed by GE. It is a part of Mark VIe control system. The board serves as a crucial component within the system, offering contact input and output functionalities in a simplex configuration.
Design and Mounting Options
- Simplex Configuration: Specifically designed for simplex operation, catering to contact input and output requirements within the system. It is engineered to facilitate efficient and reliable communication between external devices and the control system.
- Mounting Flexibility: TDBS is versatile in terms of mounting options, offering compatibility with DIN-rail or flat mounting configurations. This flexibility allows for seamless integration into diverse system architectures, accommodating various installation requirements and environments.
Contact Input Features
- Isolated Contact Inputs: The board accepts 24 group isolated contact inputs, providing a reliable interface for external devices. These inputs are supplied with a nominal wetting voltage of 24, 48, or 125 V DC from an external power source, ensuring consistent and stable operation.
- Noise Suppression: To safeguard against surge and high-frequency noise, the contact inputs are equipped with noise suppression mechanisms. This feature enhances the resilience of the TDBS board, ensuring robust performance even in challenging electrical environments.
Relay Output Functionality
- Form-C Relay Outputs: The board is equipped with 12 form-C relay outputs, offering versatile output capabilities for controlling external devices or systems. These relays provide flexible switching functionality, enabling precise control over connected equipment.
- Option Card Compatibility: To expand the functionality of the relay outputs, the TDBS board accepts different option cards. These option cards offer additional features and capabilities, allowing users to customize the board to suit specific application requirements.
Installation Guide
- Mounting Options
- DIN Rail Mounting: The board, along with a plastic insulator, mounts on a sheet metal carrier, which then attaches to a DIN rail. This mounting option offers a secure and standardized method for installation in industrial environments.
- Cabinet Mounting: Alternatively, the board plus insulator assembly can be mounted on a sheet metal assembly, which is then bolted into a cabinet. This option provides flexibility for installations where DIN rail mounting is not feasible or preferred.
- Wiring Connections
- Terminal Blocks: Connections are wired directly to two sets of 48-point terminal blocks, typically using #18 AWG wires. The upper set of terminals, TB1, connects to the relay portion of the board, while the lower set of terminals, TB2, connects to the contact input circuits.
- Terminal Block Assignments: Screw assignments for the two sets of terminals (TB1 and TB2) are identical to those found on the SRLY relay board and the STCI contact input terminal board, ensuring consistency and ease of installation.
- Shield Termination: Shields should be terminated on a separate bracket to prevent interference and ensure proper grounding.
- Relay Option Board Integration
- Plugging onto Connectors JW1 and JW2: If a relay option board is used, it plugs onto connectors JW1 and JW2 on the TDBS board. The option board is held in place by the force of the connectors, ensuring secure attachment.
- External Power Supply
- Wiring to Option Board Connector: If external power is to be supplied, it is wired to a connector provided on the option board. This ensures proper power distribution to the connected devices or systems.
