FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION:

IS420YDIAS1B is a Discrete Contact I/O Module manufactured and designed by General Electric as part of the Mark VIeS Series used in GE Distributed Control Systems. The Discrete Input (IS420YDIAS1B) I/O pack provides the electrical interface between one or two I/O Ethernet networks and a discrete input terminal board. The YDIA contains a common processor board and an acquisition board specific to the discrete input function. The YDIA I/O pack accepts up to 24 contact inputs and terminal board-specific feedback signals and supports three different voltage levels. System input to the pack is through dual RJ-45 Ethernet connectors and a three-pin power input. Discrete signal input is through a DC-37 pin connector that connects directly with the associated terminal board connector. Visual diagnostics are provided through indicator LEDs.

FEATURES:

• The discrete input acquisition board provides the second stage of signal conditioning and level shifting to interface the terminal board inputs to the control logic. Initial signal conditioning is provided on the terminal board.

• The discrete input acquisition input circuit is a comparator with a variable threshold. Each input is isolated from the control logic through an opto-coupler and an isolated power supply. The inputs are not isolated from each other.

• Each of the twenty-four inputs has filtering, hysteresis, and a yellow status LED, which indicates when an input is picked up. The LED will be OFF when the input is dropped out.

• The input threshold is derived from the contact wetting voltage input terminal. In most applications, this voltage is scaled to provide a 50% input threshold. This threshold is clamped to 13% to prevent an indeterminate state if the contact-wetting voltage drops to zero.

• If the contact wetting voltage drops below 40% of the nominal voltage, the under-voltage detector annunciates this condition to the control. A special test mode is provided to force the inputs from the control pack.

• Every four seconds, the threshold is pulsed high and then low and the response of the opto-couplers is checked. Non-responding inputs are alarmed.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

What is a Discrete Contact I/O Module?

A Discrete Contact I/O Module is a device used in industrial automation to interface between a control system and external devices through discrete input and output signals. It handles binary signals, such as on/off or high/low, to control and monitor various processes.

What are the typical applications of Discrete Contact I/O Modules?

These modules are commonly used in manufacturing and process industries to control machinery, monitor sensors, and manage other discrete processes. Examples include controlling motors, valves, and sensors in a production line.

How does a Discrete Contact I/O Module differ from analog I/O modules?

Discrete modules handle binary signals (0 or 1), while analog modules deal with continuous signals within a range. Discrete I/O is suitable for simple on/off control, whereas analog I/O is used for processes requiring variable and precise control.
