Detailed content

Technical Specifications:
  • Module Type: Multi-channel analog/digital I/O module
  • Analog Inputs: 16 channels (4–20 mA / 0–10 V)
  • Digital Outputs: 8 channels
  • A/D Resolution: 16-bit
  • Sampling Rate: 100 ms per channel (typical)
  • Communication: GE SRTP high-speed redundant bus
  • Operating Voltage: 24 V DC
  • Operating Temperature: 0 °C to 60 °C
  • Protection Rating: IP20 (panel/cabinet interior)
Key Features:
  • Redundant architecture with automatic primary/standby switchover
  • Independent galvanic isolation per channel (1500 V DC)
  • Built-in self-diagnostics with wire-break/short-circuit/over-range alarms
  • Hot-swappable for online replacement
Materials & Construction:
  • Housing: Galvanized steel shell with powder coating
  • PCB: 6-layer FR-4 with conformal coating
  • Connectors: Mil-D-38999 circular (bus side) / D-Sub (signal side)
  • Terminal block: Phoenix terminals, nickel-plated
Structural Features:​ Standard Mark V/VI cabinet mounting dimensions; front-panel channel-status LEDs (one group per 4 channels); rear SRTP bus connector plus signal terminal strip; top positioning rail clip.
Working Principle:​ The module communicates with the Mark V/VI controller (CPU module) over the SRTP high-speed redundant bus, converting between field-level analog/digital signals and the controller’s internal data representation.
Installation & Usage Notes:​ Install inside a control cabinet; ensure proper grounding of the cabinet. Verify jumper settings against the existing module before replacement. Because this is a redundant, hot-swappable module, observe ESD precautions and confirm the system is in a safe state before removal.
