Structural Characteristics
-
Long narrow PCB format with edge drill holes
-
Two double-deck terminal strips (up to 95 wires per strip)
-
Five vertical pin cable headers, two vertical pin sockets, one 9-pin male RS-232

Two COREBUS connectors (JAI/JAJ), 8PL STCA header, JAA TCCA header
Working Principle
Controller-side parallel data arrives via COREBUS/IONET headers, is conditioned by onboard resistors and varistors, and is presented to field technicians as screw-terminal points; reverse path returns field device status to the UCIB motherboard.
Application Scenarios
-
Gas and steam turbine auxiliary panel wiring
-
Compressor station control cabinets
-
Offshore FPSO machinery control rooms
-
Retrofit of Mark V Simplex/TMR I/O nests
Installation Requirements
-
Secure with M4 screws or DIN bracket to panel sub-frame
-
Torque terminal screws to 5–7 in-lb
-
Shield analog cables and ground at single point on cabinet bus
Usage Precautions
-
Unused COREBUS headers must carry termination resistors
-
Never apply 120 VAC to 24 VDC terminal rows
-
Inspect MOV discoloration during thermal inspection rounds
