Contactor Pilot Features

The GE DS200CPCAG1A DS200CPCAG1ABB uses a rugged four-layer PCB. Over 120 resistors, capacitors, and power transistors drive contactor coils. A single 64-pin DIN connector links this board to the backplane. Consequently, contactor commands reach coils without delay. Four onboard LEDs show power and individual contactor status. Moreover, electrolytic capacitors store energy for momentary inrush currents.

Output and Input Capabilities

You get four isolated coil driver channels on this pilot board. Each channel operates at 24 VDC, 48 VDC, or 125 VDC. The GE DS200CPCAG1A DS200CPCAG1ABB delivers 2 amps of inrush current per channel. Hold current drops to 0.5 amps continuous for energy savings. Eight auxiliary input channels sense dry contact status from contactors. Therefore, this board provides complete control and feedback for contactor management.

Power and Energy Storage

You must install this board inside a protected Mark V cabinet. The backplane supplies 5 VDC to the GE DS200CPCAG1A DS200CPCAG1ABB. An external DC supply provides the selected coil voltage. Ceramic capacitors filter high-frequency noise on power lines. Electrolytic capacitors store energy for inrush current peaks. As a result, the board drives contactor coils reliably without supply droop.

Mechanical Layout

This contactor pilot board measures exactly 25.4 cm in width. Its height reaches 17.8 cm. The total weight equals just 0.45 kg. As a result, this board saves valuable rack space. The lightweight design also reduces stress on the backplane connector. Always handle this pilot board by its edges. This precaution prevents electrostatic discharge damage.

Installation Context

This board works alongside other Mark V I/O and processor cards. Its compact size allows easy placement near contactor panels. The robust design handles continuous switching duty cycles. Choose the GE DS200CPCAG1A DS200CPCAG1ABB for your contactor pilot control needs.
