Description

The IS200TBTCH1C is a high-density Thermocouple Input Terminal Board designed for the General Electric Mark VIe distributed control system. This board serves as the primary interface between field-mounted thermocouple sensors and the system's I/O processor packs. It is engineered to support mission-critical turbine control applications, providing reliable signal acquisition for 24 independent channels. The board is compatible with multiple thermocouple types, including E, J, K, S, and T, and supports flexible system architectures ranging from simplex to triple modular redundant (TMR) configurations.

Features

• Supports 24 independent thermocouple input channels.
• Compatible with thermocouple types E, J, K, S, and T.
• Direct interface for PTCC I/O packs via onboard J-type connectors.
• Supports Simplex, Dual, and TMR system configurations.
• Integrated shield terminal strips for improved noise immunity and signal integrity.
• Accommodates field wiring up to 12 AWG via barrier-type terminal blocks.

Applications

Installation Guidelines

• Ensure the control system power is disconnected before installing or removing the terminal board or associated I/O packs.
• Mount the board securely within the designated Mark VIe cabinet rack.
• Utilize the dedicated shield terminal strips on the left side of the terminal blocks to ground cable shields, reducing the risk of electromagnetic interference (EMI).
• Ensure proper seating of PTCC I/O packs into the board connectors to maintain reliable signal path continuity.
• Maintain ambient operating temperatures within the specified 0 to 45 deg C range to ensure long-term component reliability.
