GE DS200DTBCG1A

Product Introduction

The GE DS200DTBAG1B-RST is a high-performance digital I/O terminal board engineered exclusively for GE’s Mark VIe control system, distinguished by its integrated “Enhanced Reset” functionality—an innovation that addresses a critical pain point in industrial operations: minimizing downtime from latched faults. As a dual-function interface (24 inputs + 8 outputs), the GE DS200DTBAG1B-RST serves as a bridge between field devices (e.g., turbine valve switches, pump relays) and core Mark VIe I/O modules like the GE IS420YDIAS1B (inputs) and GE IS420YDOAS1B (outputs), organizing wiring while protecting downstream components from electrical damage.

Unlike standard terminal boards that require manual, on-site reset for latched faults, the GE DS200DTBAG1B-RST enables remote, automated fault recovery via the Mark VIe CPU or a local button—critical for hard-to-access cabinets (e.g., turbine enclosures, offshore platforms). Its solid-state outputs eliminate the noise and wear of mechanical relays, making it ideal for silent, high-cycle applications like manufacturing conveyors or power plant auxiliary systems. The GE DS200DTBAG1B-RST is particularly valued in industries where unplanned downtime is costly (e.g., $100,000+ per hour for gas turbines), as its reset features cut fault resolution time from hours to minutes.

Core Advantages and Technical Highlights

Enhanced Reset Functionality for Minimized Downtime: The defining feature of the GE DS200DTBAG1B-RST is its flexible reset system, which eliminates the need for technicians to physically access the board to clear latched faults. For example, if a short-circuit in a pump relay triggers an output fault, the Mark VIe CPU can send a channel-specific reset command to the GE DS200DTBAG1B-RST—restoring the output in <100ms without shutting down the entire board. Alternatively, a local reset button allows for manual recovery during offline maintenance. This capability reduces mean time to repair (MTTR) by 70% compared to standard terminal boards, a critical advantage for 24/7 operations like nuclear plant cooling systems.

Dual-Function I/O with Solid-State Outputs: By combining 24 inputs and 8 outputs in a single unit, the GE DS200DTBAG1B-RST reduces cabinet space usage by 40% compared to separate input/output boards. Its solid-state (MOSFET) outputs deliver 1.5A per channel—enough to power small motors or valve actuators—while operating silently and lasting 10x longer than mechanical relays. In a food processing plant’s conveyor control system, for instance, the solid-state outputs avoid the noise of relay clicks (critical for cleanrooms) and withstand 100,000+ cycles without degradation. The fully isolated I/O channels also prevent cross-talk between signals, ensuring accurate data transmission even in high-EMI environments (e.g., near large motors).

Robust Protection and Diagnostic Visibility: The GE DS200DTBAG1B-RST integrates multi-layer protection to safeguard both itself and connected devices. Its input over-voltage protection clamps accidental 120V AC cross-wiring to safe levels, while output short-circuit protection limits current to prevent MOSFET damage. The board’s diagnostic LEDs provide at-a-glance status (e.g., green input = active, amber fault = latched error), and detailed fault data (e.g., which channel triggered a short) is transmitted to the Mark VIe CPU via the backplane. For a power plant’s turbine auxiliary system, this visibility allows operators to quickly isolate issues like a faulty pressure switch (input channel 12) or a shorted valve actuator (output channel 3)—avoiding guesswork and reducing troubleshooting time.

Typical Application Scenarios

In a 600MW combined cycle power plant’s heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) control system, the GE DS200DTBAG1B-RST monitors and controls 32 critical devices: 24 input channels track feedwater pump status switches, steam trap sensors, and pressure interlocks; 8 output channels control lube oil pumps, damper actuators, and alarm buzzers. During operation, a short-circuit in a damper actuator (output channel 5) triggers the board’s short-circuit protection—latching the output and alerting the Mark VIe CPU. Instead of dispatching a technician to the HRSG cabinet (located 500m from the control room), the operator sends a channel-specific reset command via Proficy HMI. The GE DS200DTBAG1B-RST restores the output in 80ms, avoiding a 2-hour shutdown and saving the plant $200,000 in lost production.

In an offshore wind farm’s turbine nacelle control cabinet, the GE DS200DTBAG1B-RST operates in a harsh, vibration-prone environment. Its 24 input channels monitor blade pitch position sensors, generator temperature switches, and emergency stop buttons; 8 output channels control pitch actuators and auxiliary fans. A temporary short in a pitch sensor (input channel 18) triggers an over-voltage fault, which the board latches. Due to the nacelle’s inaccessibility (requiring a crane for access), the wind farm operator uses the Mark VIe CPU to send a group reset command for input channels 16–24. The GE DS200DTBAG1B-RST clears the fault remotely, restoring sensor data and allowing the turbine to resume power generation within 2 minutes—instead of the 4 hours required for on-site repair.

Installation, Commissioning and Maintenance Instructions

Installation Preparation: Before installing the GE DS200DTBAG1B-RST, verify compatibility with the Mark VIe I/O modules (e.g., GE IS420YDIAS1B, GE IS420YDOAS1B) and ensure the control cabinet ambient temperature is 0°C–60°C. Required tools include a torque screwdriver (0.5–0.8 N·m), wire strippers (22–14 AWG), ESD-safe gloves, a multimeter, and alcohol wipes. Safety precautions: Power off the Mark VIe system (lockout/tagout) to avoid electrical shock; connect the board’s ground terminal to the cabinet ground (≥12 AWG wire) for ESD protection; label field wires (e.g., “PUMP-IN-05,” “VALVE-OUT-02”) to match the board’s channel labels; use shielded twisted-pair cable for input wiring to minimize EMI.

Commissioning & Maintenance Suggestions: During commissioning, configure reset modes via Proficy Machine Edition (e.g., enable channel-specific reset for critical outputs) and test remote reset functionality by simulating a short-circuit on an output channel—verify the CPU receives the fault alert and can clear it via command. For daily maintenance, check the GE DS200DTBAG1B-RST’s LEDs: ensure power (green), no fault (amber off), and reset status (blue off unless active). Every 3 months, inspect terminal blocks for loose wiring (retorque to 0.5–0.8 N·m) and clean the board with a dry lint-free cloth. If a fault persists after reset, isolate the affected channel in software and replace the GE DS200DTBAG1B-RST with a GE-approved spare—third-party boards may not support enhanced reset or SIL 2 compliance.
