The DS200SIOCG1A is a VME standard I/O board manufactured and designed by General Electric as part of the Mark V series used in GE Speedtronic control systems. Transient overcurrent plate is a protective device used to detect and interrupt excessive current in electric power system. It is also commonly referred to as an overcurrent relay or protective relay. The device works by monitoring the current flowing through the circuit and comparing it to a preset threshold. If the current exceeds this threshold, the relay will start and send a signal to trip the circuit breaker, thus interrupting the current. VME Standard I/O (Input/Output) boards are VME-compliant peripheral boards that provide a variety of input and output functions for VME-based systems.
Features:
VME Standard Compatibility: The board follows the VME standard specification, which defines the mechanical dimensions, electrical characteristics, and signal protocols of the VME module. This ensures interoperability with other VME-compliant boards and systems.
Input/output function: The I/O board is designed to handle a variety of input and output tasks. This can include digital and analog inputs and outputs, communication interfaces (such as serial or parallel ports), and other specialized features, depending on application requirements.
Bus interface: The board is connected to the VME backplane via a standard VMEbus connector. It uses the VMEbus protocol to communicate with system controllers and other VME devices, allowing data transfer and control within the VME chassis.
Application Specific: The specific functionality of the I/O board depends on the intended application. For example, in defense applications, circuit boards may include interfaces for sensors, actuators, and communication devices. In industrial environments, it can provide control interfaces for machinery and sensors.
Modularity: The VME standard I/O board has a modular design that allows users to customize VME-based systems to their unique requirements. This modularity simplifies system upgrades and maintenance.
Backward compatibility: The VME standard has been around for decades, and many systems still use this architecture. As a result, newer I/O boards often maintain backward compatibility with older VME systems, making it easy to integrate into existing setups.
Reliability and robustness: Because VME-based systems are commonly used in critical applications such as military and industrial control, VME standard I/O boards are typically built to a high standard of reliability and robustness, ensuring stable operation in demanding environments.
