GE DS200IOEAG1A DS200IOEAG1AAA I/O Expansion Board

The GE DS200IOEAG1A DS200IOEAG1AAA I/O Expansion Board adds extra input and output capacity to drive controllers. This board connects to the main drive processor via the backplane. You will find it expanding system capability for complex automation tasks. It handles discrete signals from sensors, push buttons, and pilot devices.

Core Technical Specifications

The GE DS200IOEAG1A DS200IOEAG1AAA I/O Expansion Board measures 30.0 cm in width and 22.0 cm in height. Its board depth equals 2.2 cm for standard rack mounting. The total assembly weighs approximately 0.58 kilograms. Forty total I/O points populate the board’s surface. Twenty-four channels serve as discrete inputs. The remaining sixteen channels act as discrete outputs.

Connectors and Field Wiring Terminals

The GE DS200IOEAG1A DS200IOEAG1AAA I/O Expansion Board uses one 64-pin DIN connector for backplane communication. This connector exchanges all I/O data with the main drive processor. Three 25-pin D-sub connectors handle field wiring for inputs and outputs. Each D-sub connector accepts 14 AWG to 22 AWG wire via screw terminals. Forty green LEDs show the real-time status of every I/O point. A red LED indicates an output overload or short circuit condition.

Input Filtering and Output Protection

Each input channel includes a programmable debounce filter from 0 to 25 milliseconds. This filter prevents false triggering from mechanical switch bounce. Each output channel contains a self-resetting PTC fuse for overload protection. Furthermore, the GE DS200IOEAG1A DS200IOEAG1AAA I/O Expansion Board integrates optocoupler isolation on all inputs. This isolation separates the logic ground from field ground completely.

Energy Storage and Environmental Ratings

This I/O expansion board contains small ceramic capacitors only on power inputs. Therefore, it stores negligible residual energy after power removal. The GE DS200IOEAG1A DS200IOEAG1AAA I/O Expansion Board operates reliably from 0°C to +55°C ambient temperature. It also withstands 10 G of vibration in operating condition. Do not exceed 0.5 A on any output channel continuously. Use external relays for loads above this current rating.
