DS200FSAAG1 GE

Technical Parameters & Specifications

Core Advantages & Key Features

• Signal Aggregation – The DS200FSAAG1 consolidates up to 8 analog inputs, 4 analog outputs, 16 digital inputs, and 8 digital outputs into a single fiber optic link, significantly reducing wiring and installation costs.

• Fiber Optic Gateway – Converts aggregated signals to fiber optic communication, providing noise-immune, long-distance transmission to the Mark V control system with complete electrical isolation.

• High Isolation Voltage – 2500 VAC isolation between field signals and logic/fiber optics ensures operator and processor safety.

• Dual Redundant Fiber Paths – Two independent transceiver ports with automatic failover ensure communication availability.

• Configurable Analog I/O – Each analog input and output can be independently configured for 0-10V or 4-20mA via software.

• High Channel Density – Consolidates a large number of field signals into a single fiber optic link, reducing rack space and cabling.

• Robust Environmental Protection – Conformal coating and gold-plated edge connectors ensure reliable operation in humid, dusty, or corrosive environments.

• Plug-and-Play Compatibility – Integrates with DS200CPCAG1A processors and other Mark V boards.

Typical Applications

• Remote I/O Consolidation – Aggregates signals from multiple field devices at remote locations and transmits them over a single fiber link.

• Skid-Mounted Equipment – Connects packaged equipment (such as compressor skids, pump skids) to the Mark V system.

• Field Signal Concentration – Reduces cabling from distributed field devices to the control rack.

• High-EMI Environments – Provides noise-immune communication for field signals in electrically noisy areas.

• Offshore Platforms – Reduces cable weight and installation costs on offshore installations.
