GE DS200TCQBG1A RST Extended Analog I/O Board(XIONGBA)
Brand Model: GE DS200TCQBG1A Product Name: RST Extended Analog I/O Board Warranty: 1 year (3-year warranty for refurbished units) Size: 3U form factor (100 mm x 160 mm) Weight: ~1.2 kg (module only) Origin: USA Inventory: Available from third-party suppliers (e.g., AX Control, Alibaba) Delivery Time: 3-7 days after payment
The GE DS200TCQBG1A is an RST Extended Analog I/O Board designed for GE’s Mark V Speedtronic turbine control system, specializing in analog signal conditioning and processing for industrial applications. Unlike its TMR-capable counterparts (e.g., DS200TCQBG1BCB/1BBA), this variant focuses on cost-effective analog input/output management without triple modular redundancy, making it suitable for non-critical turbine control or hybrid systems requiring analog signal integration 16.
The module features 15 configurable jumpers for field-adjustable signal scaling and a 50-pin connector for analog signal routing. Its OK LED indicator (visible from the side) provides real-time status monitoring, with a green light indicating normal operation and a red light signaling faults 16.

Main Features and Advantages
Analog Signal Conditioning: The DS200TCQBG1A processes analog inputs (e.g., pressure, temperature) from sensors like LVDTs and RTDs, providing signal scaling and noise filtering. Its 15 jumpers allow dynamic adjustment of input ranges (e.g., 0-10V vs. 4-20mA) to match specific turbine or process requirements 16.
Industrial-Grade Reliability: While lacking TMR redundancy, the module incorporates corrosion-resistant PCB coatings and EMC shielding (compliant with EN 61000-6-2:2019), ensuring stable operation in high-vibration, high-humidity environments like power plants and refineries 624.
Flexible Configuration: Compatible with GE’s Control Builder software, the DS200TCQBG1A supports on-the-fly parameter adjustments (e.g., signal gain, offset) and hot-swapping for maintenance without system shutdown. Its 50-pin connector simplifies integration with other Mark V modules like the DS200TBQBG1A terminal board 612.
Application Areas
Power Generation: Used in steam/gas turbine control systems for analog signal conditioning (e.g., temperature/pressure monitoring) during grid synchronization and load balancing. Its single-channel design is suitable for non-critical auxiliary systems 122.
Oil & Gas Operations: Integrated with compressor anti-surge control systems to process analog feedback from pressure transducers and position sensors. Often paired with the DS200TBQBG1A terminal board for signal termination 1216.
Heavy Industrial Automation: Supports analog control loops in steel mills and cement plants, managing signals from robotic arm position sensors or conveyor belt load cells. Its rugged design withstands constant vibration from heavy machinery 619.
Installation Preparation: Mount the DS200TCQBG1A in a grounded VME rack within the Mark V system. Connect shielded analog cables to the 50-pin connector and use GE Control Builder to configure jumpers (e.g., signal type, scaling). Verify proper ventilation to maintain optimal operating temperature 16.
Maintenance Recommendations:
Quarterly Inspections: Check connectors for corrosion and cable integrity, especially in high-vibration environments.
Annual Diagnostics: Use Control Builder to run self-tests and verify signal accuracy. Replace backup batteries to preserve configuration data.
Firmware Updates: Periodically update firmware to ensure compatibility with system upgrades 622.
Product Warranty and Availability
GE guarantees the DS200TCQBG1A against defects in materials and workmanship for 1 year. Due to the Mark V system’s legacy status, the module is primarily sourced from third-party suppliers like AX Control and Amikon, with spot inventory and 3-7 day delivery after payment. Refurbished units often include extended warranties (e.g., 3 years from AX Control) 61421.
