Functional Description

IS420YVIBH1B is a Vibration Input Pack developed by GE. It is a part of Mark VIeS control system. The Vibration Input pack serves as the vital electrical interface connecting one or two IONets to a terminal board. This pack plays a crucial role in handling up to 12 vibration inputs, providing versatility and adaptability in processing signals for industrial applications. Its primary function is to ensure seamless integration and efficient data transfer between IONets and the terminal board.

Features

• Vibration and Proximity Inputs: The pack offers flexibility in configuring the first 8 out of the 12 vibration inputs. These inputs can be tailored to read either vibration or proximity signals, catering to diverse monitoring requirements. Channels 9-12 are dedicated to supporting proximeters exclusively, enhancing the pack's capability to accommodate various sensor types. Furthermore, channel 13 stands out by supporting either a Keyphasor transducer or a proximity-type signal, providing an additional layer of adaptability.
• Terminal Board Features: The terminal board facilitates signal input and supports non-safety-rated buffered outputs of the input signal. This dual functionality expands the utility of the pack, allowing it to contribute to both input processing and output signal distribution within a system. The integration of non-safety-rated buffered outputs enhances the overall versatility and application range of the pack.
• Safety Ratings and Reliability: The I/O pack boasts a SIL 1 rating, underscoring its commitment to safety and reliability. The Safety Integrity Level (SIL) 1 designation signifies a fundamental level of safety, providing users with confidence in the pack's ability to operate safely within their systems. The HFT (Hardware Fault Tolerance) of zero further enhances the reliability of the pack, ensuring that potential hardware faults are effectively managed to maintain continuous functionality.
• Keyphasor Transducer and Proximity Compatibility: A standout feature of the pack is its support for a Keyphasor transducer in channel 13. This capability enhances the pack's compatibility with advanced monitoring systems that utilize Keyphasor technology. Additionally, the ability to process proximity-type signals in various channels showcases the pack's versatility in accommodating different sensor technologies, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial applications.
• I/O Pack Redundancy and Mounting Options: 
  The YVIB system introduces a high degree of redundancy and flexibility by allowing the mounting of either one or three I/O packs on the TVBA terminal board. This configuration provides the choice between Simplex or Triple Modular Redundancy (TMR), catering to diverse system requirements. The TVBA terminal board serves as a reliable platform, accommodating the I/O packs and ensuring seamless integration within larger industrial setups.
• Signal Conditioning and Protection: The signal flow between the terminal blocks and the I/O packs undergoes thorough conditioning with passive suppression circuits and electromagnetic interference (EMI) protection. These features safeguard against unwanted noise and interference, ensuring accurate and reliable data acquisition. Additionally, a pull-up bias is applied to signals, enabling open circuit fault detection for proactive system maintenance.
• Sensor Flexibility and Channel Configuration: The module has the capability to monitor up to 13 sensors, offering flexibility in choosing and mixing sensor types based on specific channel configurations and the YVIB processor type. This adaptability ensures that the system can cater to a wide range of industrial applications, accommodating different sensor technologies for comprehensive vibration monitoring.

Connectivity and Diagnostics

• The I/O pack includes two RJ-45 Ethernet connectors, providing efficient network connectivity for data communication. A 3-pin power input ensures stable and reliable power supply, while a DC-37 pin connector establishes a direct connection to the TVBA terminal board.
• Visual diagnostics are facilitated through indicator LEDs, offering real-time status updates and simplifying troubleshooting procedures for enhanced system maintenance.

Board Installation Procedure

• Secure Terminal Board Mounting: Begin by securely mounting the desired terminal board in the designated location.
• Connect YVIB I/O Pack: Directly plug the I/O pack into the connectors on the mounted terminal board.
• Mechanical Securing of I/O Packs: Ensure the I/O packs are mechanically secured using the threaded studs located adjacent to the Ethernet ports. These studs should slide into a mounting bracket specific to the terminal board type. Adjust the bracket location to prevent any right-angle force on the DC-37 pin connector between the I/O pack and the terminal board. This adjustment is typically a one-time requirement throughout the product's service life.
• Ethernet Cable Connection: Plug in one or two Ethernet cables based on the system configuration. The I/O pack can operate over either port. In cases where dual connections are utilized, the standard practice is to connect ENET1 to the network associated with the R controller.
• Power Application: Apply power to the I/O pack by plugging in the connector located on the side of the I/O pack. It is not necessary to remove power from the cable before plugging it in, as the I/O pack features inherent soft-start capability, effectively controlling current inrush upon power application.
• ToolboxST Configuration: Utilize the ToolboxST application to configure the I/O pack according to the specific requirements of the system. This software provides a user-friendly interface for seamless configuration and ensures optimal functionality of the system.
