GE IS200TBCIS2C IS200TBCIS2CCD Contact Input Board

The GE IS200TBCIS2C IS200TBCIS2CCD Contact Input Board monitors dry contact and limit switch status signals. You will find this board essential for collecting field device states. Its passive design requires no external power for basic signal routing.

Dimensions, Weight, and Mechanical Layout

This contact input board measures 19.0 cm in length and 14.2 cm in width. Its height reaches 3.6 cm including all screw terminal blocks. The total weight stands at 0.52 kilograms for standard DIN-rail mounting. A fiberglass-reinforced PCB provides excellent mechanical strength and insulation.

Input Interfaces and Component Count

The GE IS200TBCIS2C IS200TBCIS2CCD Contact Input Board offers thirty-two independent screw terminal connections. Each terminal accepts dry contact inputs or 24V DC signals. You also receive thirty-two LED indicators for visual contact status monitoring. In total, this board contains 144 individual electronic components. These include 32 terminal blocks, 32 LEDs, 32 current-limiting resistors, and 48 suppression diodes.

Signal Conditioning and Protection Features

Each input path includes a 2.2k ohm series resistor for current limiting. The board also features transient suppression diodes on all signal lines. A passive RC filter removes contact bounce and high-frequency noise. Consequently, the board provides reliable contact status reading in industrial environments.

Environmental Limits and Wiring Specifications

Therefore, the operating temperature ranges from -30°C to +70°C. Storage temperatures extend from -40°C to +85°C without degradation. Each screw terminal accepts 14 to 24 AWG solid or stranded wire. Maximum terminal torque rating reaches 0.5 Nm for secure field connections.

Connectors, Cabling, and Additional Features

Two 40-pin ribbon cable headers connect to the digital input control board. A single ground terminal bar provides earth connection for cable shields. For similar static trip system contact monitoring, see the RMS-TSG-TZ-C model from the same manufacturer. However, this contact input board specializes in dry contact status acquisition exclusively. Mean time between failures (MTBF) exceeds 280,000 hours due to passive construction.
