Functional Description
IS230STAI2ASTAI2AG21 is an Analog Input Terminal Card developed by GE. It is a part of the Mark VIe control system. The STAI (Compact Analog Input Terminal) board stands as an essential component within the system, facilitating analog input tasks with its compact and versatile design. Here's an in-depth exploration of its features and capabilities:
Analog Input Flexibility
- Equipped with ten analog inputs, the board provides ample capacity to accommodate various types of transmitters, including two-wire, three-wire, four-wire, or externally powered configurations.
- This flexibility ensures compatibility with a wide range of sensors and devices, allowing for comprehensive data acquisition and monitoring capabilities within the system.
Analog Output Options
- The board is outfitted with two analog outputs, both of which support a standard 0-20 mA current range. However, one of these outputs can be jumper-configured to accommodate a broader 0-200 mA current range, providing users with enhanced flexibility in signal output capabilities.
- This feature enables users to tailor the output signals to meet the specific requirements of downstream control or monitoring systems.
Compatibility with PAIC I/O Pack
- To further extend its functionality and integration capabilities, the board is designed to seamlessly interface with the PAIC (Programmable Analog Input Controller) I/O pack. The PAIC I/O pack plugs directly into the D-type connector on the board, establishing communication with the controller via Ethernet connectivity.
- This integration streamlines data exchange and enhances interoperability, allowing for seamless integration of analog input data into the control system.
Support for Simplex Systems
- It's important to note that the PAIC I/O pack, in conjunction with the board, is specifically designed to support simplex systems. Simplex systems, characterized by their single-channel architecture, are well-suited for applications where redundancy is not required but reliable analog input processing is essential.
- This targeted support ensures optimal performance and compatibility within simplex system configurations.
Channel Configuration and Capacities
- The board boasts a total of 12 channels, comprising 10 analog input (AI) channels and 2 analog output (AO) channels. This configuration offers comprehensive capabilities for analog signal processing within the system.
Analog Input Specifications
- Each analog input channel is designed to accommodate transmitters providing a 1 - 5 V DC output across a precision resistor, typically with a resistance of 250 ohm.
- This setup ensures precise and reliable signal acquisition from connected sensors or devices, facilitating accurate data monitoring and analysis.
Maximum Lead Resistance and Cable Length
- To maintain signal integrity and minimize signal degradation, the board imposes a maximum lead resistance of 15 ohm, encompassing both two-way cable resistance and any intrinsic resistance within the terminal board.
- With this constraint, cable lengths of up to 300 meters (984 feet) can be accommodated, providing ample flexibility for system configuration and deployment across diverse industrial environments.
Analog Output Specifications
- The board features two analog output channels, each capable of providing 24 V DC outputs rated at 21 mA.
- These outputs offer robust signal transmission capabilities, facilitating control and monitoring functions within the system.
- With their high output rating, the analog outputs can drive external devices or actuate control mechanisms with ease, enhancing system versatility and functionality.
