Functional Description

DS200TCDAF1BCE is a digital I/O board developed by GE. It is a part of Mark V control system. The I/O board is specifically within the digital I/O cores Q11 and Q51. It serves as a pivotal interface for processing digital contact input signals from terminal boards like DTBA and DTBB, as well as managing contact output signals (relays/solenoids) from TCRA boards. This integration ensures seamless communication and control across various components within the system.

Signal Processing and Integration

• The board acts as a central hub for digital signals within its designated cores. It receives digital contact input signals from terminal boards such as DTBA and DTBB. These inputs typically represent various states or conditions sensed by external sensors or switches, providing critical data for monitoring and control purposes.
• Simultaneously, the board manages contact output signals originating from boards. These outputs often control actuators, relays, or solenoids that initiate specific actions based on the system's operational requirements. By processing both input and output signals, it facilitates real-time interaction and control over industrial processes, enhancing overall system efficiency and responsiveness.

Communication Over IONET

The processed digital signals are transmitted over the IONET, a communication network integral to the control system architecture. Specifically, these signals are directed towards:

• TCQC Board in R1: The board likely serves as a central processor or coordinator within the control system, receiving and coordinating digital signals for further processing or distribution.
• CTBA Terminal Board in R5: The terminal board in R5 acts as an endpoint or interface where digital signals are received or transmitted to other subsystems or components within the broader control network. This structured communication pathway ensures that digital signals are reliably transmitted and received across different system components, enabling coordinated operation and synchronization of industrial processes.

Connectors

• JP: Distributes power from the TCPS board located in cores R1 and R5 to cores Q11 and Q51 respectively.
• JQ: Connects to the JQR socket on the DTBA board, transmitting contact input signals.
• JR: Connects to the JRR socket on the DTBB board, transmitting contact input signals.
• JO1: Outputs contact signals (relay/solenoid) to the TCRA board in location four. Typically not utilized in the Q11 core.
• JO2: Outputs contact signals (relay/solenoid) to the TCRA board in locations four and five. Used in both Q11 and Q51 cores.
• JX1: A shielded twisted pair for IONET signals. In Q11 core, transmits signals to JX2 on the TCEA board in location five of P1 core. In Q51 core, transmits signals to JX on the CTBA terminal board in R5 core.
• JX2: Functions similarly to JX1, providing flexibility in signal transmission. Either JX1 or JX2 can be utilized based on system configuration and requirements.
