Functional Description
IS230STAI2ASTAI2AG01 is an analog input terminal board developed by GE. It is a part of the Mark VIe control system. The STAI (Compact Analog Input Terminal) board serves as a versatile interface for analog input and output signals within the system architecture. Designed for compactness and efficiency, it integrates seamlessly with the PAIC pack and offers a range of features to facilitate analog signal processing and transmission.
Features
- Analog Input and Output Capabilities: It boasts the capability to accept 10 analog inputs and provides two analog outputs. This flexibility allows for the integration of numerous analog sensors and devices into the system, facilitating comprehensive data acquisition and monitoring tasks.
- Power Supply Provision: To ensure reliable operation of connected transmitters (transducers), the terminal board provides 24 V DC power on its terminals. This feature simplifies installation and eliminates the need for external power sources, enhancing system efficiency and convenience.
- Choice of Input Configuration: Users have the flexibility to choose between current or voltage inputs using jumper configurations. This adaptability enables seamless integration with a variety of sensors and devices, catering to diverse application requirements and signal types.
- Analog Output Configuration: The board features two analog output circuits, with one circuit supporting a standard 4-20 mA output range. The second circuit offers configurable output options, with the flexibility to be jumper-configured for either a 4-20 mA or 0-200 mA output range. This versatility enables users to tailor the output to specific application needs, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of control and monitoring systems.
- Single Cable Connection: With a single cable connection, the terminal board simplifies installation and deployment within the system architecture. However, it is important to note that due to the single cable connection, the terminal board is not suitable for Triple Modular Redundancy (TMR) applications, unlike the TBAI board, which offers redundancy for increased reliability.
Configuration
- Selection of Input Type (Jumpers J1A through J8A): Jumpers J1A through J8A allow users to select between current input or voltage input for each of the ten analog inputs available on the terminal board. By configuring these jumpers, users can tailor the input configuration to match the signal type of connected sensors or devices.
- Selection of Return Connection (Jumpers J1B through J8B): Jumpers J1B through J8B provide the option to connect the return of each input channel either to common or to leave it open. This flexibility allows users to adapt the return connection based on system requirements or grounding considerations.
- Selection of Input Current (Jumpers J9A and J10A): Jumpers J9A and J10A offer the choice between 1 mA or 20 mA input current for specific input channels. This selection enables users to configure the input current according to the specifications of the connected sensors or transducers.
- Selection of Return Connection for Input Current (Jumpers J9B and J10B): Jumpers J9B and J10B provide the option to connect the return of the selected input current channels to common or to leave it open. This configuration choice ensures compatibility with the grounding scheme of the system and facilitates proper signal processing.
- Output Configuration (Jumper J0): Jumper J0 is dedicated to setting the output of output 1 to either 20 mA or 200 mA. This configuration choice enables users to tailor the output signal range to suit the requirements of downstream control or monitoring systems.
- Additional Configuration from Toolbox: While the aforementioned jumpers address the basic configuration options of the terminal board, additional configuration related to VAIC (Variable Area Intelligent Controller) or PAIC (Programmable Analog Input Controller) is done through the toolbox interface. This allows for comprehensive customization and fine-tuning of the terminal board's functionality to meet specific application needs.
