IS220PDOAH1BC GE Mark VI, Discrete Output Pack

Description:

The IS220PDOAH1BC is a discrete output pack developed by General Electrics as part of the Mark VIe control system. It serves as a vital bridge in the electrical connection between one or two I/O Ethernet networks and a dedicated discrete output terminal board. This essential component comprises two key elements: a processor board common to all Mark VIe distributed I/O packs and an acquisition board tailored to specific discrete output functionalities. Designed for controlling up to 12 relays, it also facilitates feedback integration from the terminal board.

Features
Relay options include electromagnetic relays compatible with various terminal boards (TRLYH1B, C, D, F) and solid-state relays for type TRLYH1E boards. This flexibility allows customization to meet specific application needs.
Input connectivity is established via dual RJ45 Ethernet connectors, providing reliable and redundant interfaces for seamless data exchange. Power is supplied through a three-pin input, ensuring stable and efficient operation. On the output side, the PDOA features a DC-37 pin connector that easily links with the corresponding terminal board connector, simplifying installation and maintenance.
For monitoring and troubleshooting, the component includes indicator LEDs for visual diagnostics, allowing users to quickly assess system status and performance. Additionally, local serial communications can be set up via an infrared port for more detailed diagnostic and configuration tasks.
Installation
Begin by securely mounting the selected terminal board in the desired location. For a simplex configuration, connect one PDOA I/O pack to the terminal board connector. For a TMR setup, connect three PDOA I/O packs to the terminal board connectors.
Ensure mechanical stability by securing the packs using threaded studs near the Ethernet ports. These studs should fit into a mounting bracket designed for the terminal board type. Adjust the bracket's position to avoid right-angle force on the DC37 connector between the pack and the terminal board, typically a one-time adjustment.
Depending on the system configuration, plug in one or two Ethernet cables. The PDOA pack operates seamlessly using either port. If opting for dual connections, standard practice is to connect ENET1 to the network associated with the R controller.
Power the pack by connecting the power connector on the side. There is no need to remove power from the cable when inserting this connector, as the I/O pack features built-in soft-start capability that manages current inrush effectively.
Configure the I/O pack according to specific requirements to ensure optimal functionality within the application.
