Product Name: GE Mark VIe IS200EROCH1ADD Relay Output Module
-
Product Introduction: A critical component of the GE Mark VIe control system, this card provides isolated relay outputs to control field devices such as solenoids, alarms, and motor starters. It acts as the bridge between the digital logic of the controller and the physical plant equipment.

-
Functional Features:
-
Output Channels: 16 independent Single Pole Single Throw (SPST) relays.
-
Isolation: Optical isolation between the logic side and the load side (typically rated at 1500Vrms).
-
Status Indication: Onboard LEDs indicate both the commanded state from the controller and the actual physical state of the relay contacts.
-
Diagnostic Capability: Monitors for output stuck-on or stuck-off failures.
-
-
Performance Parameters:
-
Contact Rating: Typically 2A @ 30VDC or 0.5A @ 125VAC.
-
Operating Temperature: -30°C to +65°C.
-
-
Working Principle: The card receives a logic signal from the main processor via the backplane. This signal energizes an internal coil, which mechanically closes the relay contacts, allowing current to flow to the external load. Optocouplers provide electrical separation to protect the sensitive control electronics from voltage spikes in the field wiring.
-
Installation Requirements: Designed for installation in a VME rack (6U form factor). Requires connection to the IS200ISBBG2AAB or similar terminal board via an I/O cable. Standard ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) precautions must be observed during handling.
