Energy Storage and Signal Protection Performance
The GE IS200TDBTH6A IS200TDBTH6ABC stores sufficient energy for noise filtering. Its sixteen capacitors provide 1,600 µF of total capacitance. This storage filters high-frequency noise from discrete signal lines. Furthermore, the suppression diodes clamp voltage spikes at 30 VDC, protecting the VIE controller electronics.
Role Within the Mark VI Speedtronic System
You will typically find the GE IS200TDBTH6A IS200TDBTH6ABC mounted near the VIE controller panel. It connects to the VIE card via three shielded ribbon cables. Moreover, this board supports both sourcing and sinking input configurations. Its thirty-two terminal blocks accept wiring from limit switches, pushbuttons, relay contacts, and indicator lamps.
Installation and Wiring Guidelines
Use the GE IS200TDBTH6A IS200TDBTH6ABC as a direct replacement for older TDBT revisions. Always disconnect field power before terminating any wires. This terminal board requires no external power supply for passive signal paths. It needs no configuration jumpers or special tools. Simply secure the board with four mounting screws and connect your field cables to the appropriate terminal blocks.
