FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION:

IS200DTCTH1A is a DIN Rail Contact Output Module manufactured and designed by General Electric as part of the VIe Series used in GE Distributed Control Systems. The DIN Rail Contact Output Module is a modular industrial I/O device designed to provide multiple isolated relay or dry contact outputs for switching external loads. It receives digital control signals from PLC, DCS, or turbine control systems and drives field devices such as solenoids, contactors, alarms, and indicator lamps. The module provides galvanic isolation between the control circuitry and output channels to protect the control system from voltage transients and electrical noise. Each output channel includes a status indication for monitoring. The module supports DIN rail mounting for secure installation and easy integration within control panels. It features overload and short-circuit protection and is rated for specified AC/DC voltage and current levels per channel, ensuring reliable operation in industrial environments.

It’s designed to increase the output capacity of a Protege automation system by 8 channels. It incorporates high-current Form C relays suitable for precise control of building systems, including lighting and HVAC applications. The module supports flexible network architecture, allowing multiple units to be connected to the RS-485 communication bus. Up to 250 modules can be linked on a single network over distances of up to 900 meters (3000 ft), with further extension possible using network repeater modules. The current features of the output expander include:

INSTALLATION:

The DIN Rail Contact Output Module is designed for standard 35 mm DIN rail mounting within industrial control panels, allowing for secure and compact integration into automation systems. Installation typically begins with mounting the module onto the DIN rail, ensuring it snaps firmly into place and aligns correctly with any adjacent modules to maintain proper spacing and airflow. Next, the power supply connections must be made according to the module’s voltage rating, ensuring correct polarity and secure terminal connections to prevent intermittent operation.

• Mounting: Snap the module firmly onto the 35 mm DIN rail, ensuring proper alignment with adjacent modules.
• Power Connections: Connect the module’s supply terminals according to the specified voltage and polarity, ensuring secure connections.
• Control Wiring: Terminate input signals from the PLC, DCS, or turbine controller to the module’s input terminals.
• Output Wiring: Connect the module’s relay or dry contact outputs to field devices such as solenoids, contactors, lamps, or alarms.
• Grounding: Ensure proper grounding of the module and control panel to reduce electrical noise and protect against transient voltages.
• Verification: Test all outputs and confirm correct operation using the module’s status indicators before commissioning.

COMPATIBILITY:

The DIN Rail Contact Output Module is compatible with industrial control systems, providing standard digital outputs, including PLCs, DCS, and turbine controllers. It interfaces with relay or dry contact outputs and provides galvanic isolation between control and field circuits. The module supports standard 35 mm DIN rail mounting and is electrically and mechanically compatible with other modular I/O devices within control panels.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

What type of outputs does the DIN Rail Contact Output Module provide?

The module provides Form A (normally open) or Form C (changeover) relay outputs, capable of switching AC and DC loads within specified voltage and current ratings. Each channel is independently controlled by digital input signals from PLC, DCS, or turbine controllers. The outputs are rated for industrial-grade loads, typically up to 10A at 250V AC or equivalent DC ratings.

How is the module mounted in control panels?

The module is designed for 35 mm standard DIN rail mounting, supporting secure installation in industrial control panels. Its modular design allows side-by-side expansion, maintaining uniform spacing and proper airflow for thermal management. Screw or spring-clamp terminals ensure reliable electrical connections.

How many channels can a single module support, and can multiple modules be integrated?

Modules are available in configurations such as 4, 8, or 16 output channels. Multiple modules can be installed on the same DIN rail, supporting scalable expansion of output capacity while maintaining galvanic isolation and consistent electrical performance.
