Functional Description

DS200TCDAH1BJE is a Digital I/O Board developed by GE. It is a part of the Mark V control system. The Digital IO Board process both digital contact input signals and contact output signals (such as relay or solenoid controls), enabling smooth communication between different terminal boards and control modules.

Contact Input Circuits

The board is designed to carry contact input signals from the DTBA and DTBB terminal boards. These signals are transmitted via JR and JQ connectors, which connect to the corresponding sockets on the DTBA and DTBB boards, respectively. Once the input signals are received, the board performs several critical functions:

• Signal Conditioning: The TCDA board conditions the signals, ensuring that they are in the appropriate form for further processing by the system.
• Time Tagging: The TCDA board time-stamps any change of state in the signals, which is useful for tracking the timing of input changes in real-time applications.
• Signal Transmission: The processed signals are then carried to the IONET through the JX1 or JX2 connectors, depending on system configuration. The use of either connector enables reliable communication of the signals to other system components.
• In addition, contact signal inversions are handled through software configuration. Using the I/O configuration constants, users can adjust settings for signal inversions, allowing the system to interpret and respond to input signals as needed.

Contact Output (Relay/Solenoid) Circuits

The board also handles contact output signals that control relays, solenoids, or other digital actuators. These signals are generated by the board and carried to the TCRA boards via JO1 and JO2 connectors. These outputs are essential for controlling various devices in the system, enabling actions such as activating relays, solenoids, or other components that are part of the automation process.

• JO1: This connector transmits contact output signals to the TCRA board in location four.
• JO2: This connector transmits contact output signals to the TCRA board in location five.
• These contact outputs are vital for the proper functioning of the control system, ensuring that the necessary actions are taken in response to the input signals processed by the TCDA.

Key Functions

• Signal Processing: The TCDA board processes and conditions both input and output signals, ensuring that they are appropriately formatted for transmission.
• Time Tagging: Changes in input signals are time-tagged to keep track of the exact timing of state changes.
• Software Configurability: Contact input inversions can be configured through software settings, allowing users to customize the system behavior based on specific needs.
• IONET Communication: The TCDA board effectively communicates with other control modules and terminal boards over the IONET, maintaining system stability and functionality.
• Relay/Solenoid Control: Through the JO1 and JO2 connectors, the TCDA board can control relays, solenoids, and other devices, enabling the automation of various processes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is DS200TCDAH1BJE?
It is a Digital I/O Board developed by GE under the Mark V series.

How does the TCDA board handle input signals?
The TCDA receives contact input signals from the DTBA and DTBB terminal boards through the JQ and JR connectors. It conditions these signals, time-tags any state changes, and transmits the processed signals to the IONET via the JX1 or JX2 connectors.

What is the role of the output circuits on the TCDA board?
The board controls output signals (relay/solenoid) via the JO1 and JO2 connectors. These connectors send the output signals to the TCRA boards, which then trigger relays, solenoids, or other actuators in the system.

How does the board communicate with other system components?
The board communicates with other components over the IONET. It transmits processed input signals to control modules and terminal boards such as the TCQC board (located in R1 and R2 if Q21 is installed) and the CTBA terminal board (in R5).
