4. Operating Principle
The GE IS200TDBSH2ACC terminal board follows a standardized signal processing workflow: Field equipment signal access → Line surge absorption → High-frequency filtering & noise reduction → Signal shaping & conditioning → Electrical buffering → Stable signal transmission to I/O modules.
Dry contact signals from field switches, limiters, relays and interlock equipment are firstly connected to this terminal board. Onboard protection circuits absorb instantaneous high voltage and surge interference on lines, and filtering circuits eliminate electromagnetic clutter and contact chatter to restore clean and stable discrete status signals.
Conditioned standard signals are stably transmitted to downstream Mark VIe DI/DO modules for signal acquisition. Meanwhile, discrete output commands issued by the system are forwarded via this terminal board to drive field actuators.The terminal board performs passive protection and noise reduction for signal loops throughout operation, ensuring accurate transmission of discrete signals used in critical logic such as unit interlock, sequence control and protection. It prevents logic misjudgment and equipment misoperation caused by interference, and sustains stable and reliable operation of the whole automatic control system.
