GE DS200TCQCG1BJF Analog I/O Expander Board(XIONGBA)

Product Overview

The GE DS200TCQCG1BJF is a Analog I/O Expander Board designed for GE’s Mark V Speedtronic turbine control system, serving as a critical component for expanding analog and digital input/output capabilities in industrial automation. Belonging to the legacy DS200 series, this module provides scalable signal conditioning and excitation for turbine control systems, enabling precise monitoring and regulation of complex industrial processes.

As part of the Mark V system’s Redundant System Technology (RST) architecture, the GE DS200TCQCG1BJF interfaces with terminal boards to process analog signals from transducers such as LVDTs (Linear Variable Differential Transformers), resolvers, and pressure sensors. It features multiple connector types (3×40-pin, 3×34-pin, 1×16-pin) and 24 configurable jumpers, allowing flexible adaptation to various sensor and actuator configurations. The module’s Rev. F hardware revision enhances EMC compliance and thermal management, making it suitable for harsh industrial environments.

Key functions include analog signal scaling, excitation power supply for transducers, and redundant I/O expansion. Its design supports integration with the Mark V system’s core processors, ensuring seamless communication and real-time control in mission-critical applications like gas turbine speed regulation and steam turbine valve positioning.

Technical Specifications

Main Features and Advantages

Scalable Analog Signal Handling:
The GE DS200TCQCG1BJF supports 16 analog input channels and 8 analog output channels, providing precise signal conditioning for transducers in turbine control systems. Its configurable jumpers allow adjustments for input voltage ranges (0-5V) and excitation power, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of sensors and actuators.

Enhanced EMC and Thermal Performance:
With Rev. F hardware revisions, this module incorporates improved PCB coating and thermal management, meeting EN 61000-6-2:2019 EMC standards. It withstands extreme temperatures (-20°C to +60°C) and electromagnetic interference, making it reliable for offshore platforms, power plants, and heavy industrial environments.

Flexible Configuration:
Designed for easy integration with GE’s Mark V Speedtronic system, the DS200TCQCG1BJF supports hot-swapping and remote diagnostics via Control Builder software. Its 24 jumpers enable customization of signal scaling, feedback loops, and redundancy settings, reducing downtime during maintenance or system upgrades.

Redundancy and Fault Tolerance:
Compatible with the Mark V system’s Triple Modular Redundancy (TMR) architecture, the DS200TCQCG1BJF ensures continuous operation by cross-checking signals across redundant channels. This feature is critical for safety-critical applications where single-channel failures could lead to system instability.

Application Areas
