Product Overview

The GE DS200RTBAG1AHC is a high-performance Relay Terminal Board (RTBA) from General Electric, designed as an optional expansion board for use within industrial drive or exciter cabinets. This board integrates ten relays to provide flexible signal control and interface expansion, making it suitable for complex industrial automation and control systems.

DS200RTBAG1AHC supports multiple control power configurations and offers excellent compatibility and reliability. GE DS200RTBAG1AHC is widely used in various GE drive and control systems to enhance control logic and output capabilities.

Features

High Configuration Flexibility

Relay coils can be powered internally (from the LTB board) or from an external source, offering design versatility.

Multiple jumper settings (JP1-JP15) allow adaptation to various control logic and power requirements.

Robust and Reliable Performance

All relay I/Os are protected by Metal Oxide Varistors (MOVs) against voltage transients, ensuring longevity.

Each relay includes an integral LED status indicator for rapid visual troubleshooting and maintenance.

Modular Design for Easy Maintenance

Individual relays are pluggable and can be replaced quickly without replacing the entire board, minimizing downtime.

Clear terminal numbering and comprehensive connector descriptions simplify wiring, commissioning, and debugging.

Proven Compatibility

DS200RTBAG1AHC Designed for seamless integration with a wide range of GE industrial drive and control systems.

Available in different coil voltage versions (DC 110V/24V, AC 115V) to match specific application needs.

Enhanced Safety

DS200RTBAG1AHC Designed in accordance with industrial safety standards. Clear warnings and procedures help prevent electric shock and equipment damage during installation and maintenance.

Application range

The DS200RTBAG1AHC's versatility makes it suitable for a wide range of industrial control and power management applications, including but not limited to:

Industrial Motor Control & Drives:

Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs): DS200RTBAG1AHC Used within GE's Mark V, Mark VI, and other drive systems to provide auxiliary control outputs. GE DS200RTBAG1AHC can start/stop auxiliary fans, pumps, or indicate drive status (Run, Ready, Fault) to a central PLC or HMI.

Exciter Control for Large Motors/Generators: Provides critical control and interlocking functions in excitation systems, such as field application and removal.

Process Automation & Manufacturing:

Conveyor System Control: Manages interlocking between multiple conveyors, where the start/stop of one conveyor is conditional on the status of another.

Machine Automation: Implements safety and control interlocks (e.g., door guards, lubrication pressure) on production machinery like injection molding machines, presses, and CNC equipment.

Pump and Compressor Control: DS200RTBAG1AHC Provides multi-stage control sequences and status monitoring for complex pumping or compression systems.

Material Handling & Heavy Industry:

Crane and Hoist Control: Manages control functions such as up/down, left/right movement, and safety limit switches.

Mining Conveyors: DS200RTBAG1AHC Used in high-reliability conveyor drives for starting horns, brake control, and pull-cord safety system monitoring.

Power Generation & Distribution:

Generator Control Panels: DS200RTBAG1AHC Used for sequencing annunciators (alarm horns, lights) and controlling auxiliary systems.

Automatic Transfer Switches (ATS): DS200RTBAG1A Can be configured to provide control logic for transferring power sources between main and backup supplies.

Switchgear Control: DS200RTBAG1A Provides intermediate relay functions for circuit breaker control and status indication.

System Integration & Interface Management:

Signal Level Shifting & Isolation: Interfaces low-voltage control signals from a PLC (e.g., 24V DC) with higher-voltage plant control circuits (e.g., 115V AC).

Multi-Output Expansion: A single control signal from a controller can be routed through this board to simultaneously activate multiple independent circuits (e.g., one "Fault" signal can trigger a horn, a light, and send a signal to the PLC).
