Functional Description
DS200TCDAP1B is a Digital IO Board designed and developed by GE. It is a part of Mark V control system. The Digital Input/Output Board (TCDA) is located within the digital I/O cores Q11, Q51, and Q21, where applicable. TCDA is responsible for handling digital contact input signals from the DTBA and DTBB terminal boards, as well as managing contact output signals, including relay and solenoid signals, originating from the two TCRA boards. These signals are transmitted via the IONET to reach the TCQC board located in R1 and R2 if Q21 is installed, and to the CTBA terminal board within R5.
Connectors
- JP: Distributes power from the TCPS board in the R1, R2, and R5 cores to the Q11, Q21, and Q51 cores, respectively.
- JQ: Connects to the JQR socket on the DTBA board, transmitting contact input signals from the DTBA board to the TCDA board.
- JR: Connects to the JRR socket on the DTBB board, conveying contact input signals from the DTBB board to the TCDA board.
- JO1: Transmits contact output (relay/solenoid) signals to the TCRA board in location four. Not utilized in Q11, as the relays in location 4 are directly controlled by TCQE in R1.
- JO2: Transmits contact output (relay/solenoid) signals to the TCRA board in location five.
- JX1: This is a shielded twisted pair cable for IONET signals. The TCDA board in the Q11 core sends signals to the JX2 connection on the TCEA board in location five of the P1 core.
- JX2: Used for the same function as JX1. Either JX1 or JX2 can be employed for this purpose.
Configuration
- Hardware: The board features eight hardware jumpers. J1 and J8 serve for factory testing purposes. J2 and J3 are designated for IONET termination resistors. J4, J5, and J6 are utilized to configure the IONET ID for the board. J7 is specifically for enabling the stall timer function. For comprehensive details regarding hardware jumper settings for this board.
- Software: To define the I/O configuration constants for contact input inversions, the I/O Configuration Editor can be accessed through the Human-Machine Interface (HMI).
Contact Input Circuits
- The board serves as the interface for contact inputs originating from the DTBA and DTBB terminal boards, facilitated through the JR and JQ connectors. Within the board, specialized circuitry conditions these incoming signals, ensuring their compatibility with the system's requirements.
- Equipped to timestamp any change of state in these signals, providing valuable data for monitoring and analysis purposes. Once conditioned, the signals are transmitted to the IONET via the JX1 (and optionally JX2) connector. Notably, any required signal inversions are managed through software configuration using predefined I/O constants, ensuring flexibility and adaptability in signal processing.
Contact Output (Relay/Solenoid)
- The board also manages contact outputs, which are routed to the TCRA boards through the JO1 and JO2 connectors.
- These output circuits are crucial for controlling external devices such as relays or solenoids.
- By interfacing with the TCRA boards, the board facilitates the transmission of signals to activate or deactivate these external devices as dictated by system requirements. This seamless integration ensures efficient and reliable operation of connected equipment, contributing to the overall functionality and performance of the control system.
