Product Parameters

Advantages and Features

1. Dual-Protocol Ecosystem Compatibility: GE DS200CDBAG1ABA supports both GE’s proprietary Speedtronic protocol and mainstream open industrial protocols (Ethernet/IP, MODBUS TCP, PROFINET IO), enabling seamless communication between GE’s proprietary control systems and third-party industrial devices, breaking down protocol barriers for integrated automation.
2. Gigabit High-Speed Transmission: Equipped with two Gigabit Ethernet ports, the module achieves a maximum transmission rate of 1000 Mbps, ensuring rapid delivery of large-volume operational data (such as real-time process parameters and equipment status) and meeting the real-time control requirements of high-speed production lines.
3. Reliable Redundancy Support: The dual Ethernet ports support network redundancy configuration, eliminating single points of failure in communication networks. This is critical for continuous-operation industries such as power generation and petrochemicals, where unplanned downtime can lead to significant losses.
4. Industrial-Grade Anti-Interference Capability: Adopting advanced electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) design and reinforced circuit shielding, GE DS200CDBAG1ABA effectively resists electromagnetic noise, static electricity, and voltage surges in harsh industrial environments, ensuring stable and error-free data transmission.
5. Plug-and-Play GE Integration: Tailor-made for GE’s Mark VIe control system, the module requires no custom driver development. It can be quickly configured and commissioned via GE’s dedicated programming software, reducing project deployment time and lowering integration costs.
6. Intuitive Fault Troubleshooting: Multi-functional status indicators and built-in diagnostic functions allow on-site technicians to quickly identify issues such as network disconnections, protocol mismatches, or bus errors. Detailed fault logging also facilitates post-event analysis and preventive maintenance.
7. Extreme Environmental Adaptability: With an operating temperature range of -40°C to +70°C, the module performs reliably in extreme cold, high heat, and high-humidity conditions, making it suitable for automation projects in diverse geographical locations and harsh working environments.

1. Power Generation Industry: A large nuclear power plant integrated GE DS200CDBAG1ABA into its reactor cooling system control network. The module connected the Mark VIe controller to 20+ temperature and pressure sensors, as well as 12 on-site actuators, via Ethernet/IP protocol. The high-speed transmission ensured real-time adjustment of cooling water flow, with data delay controlled within 3ms, significantly enhancing the safety and stability of reactor operation.
2. Oil and Gas Industry: An onshore oil refinery deployed GE DS200CDBAG1ABA in its crude oil distillation unit. The module facilitated data interaction between the Mark VIe controller, distillation tower sensors, and the central monitoring center using MODBUS TCP protocol. Its robust anti-interference capability maintained stable communication even in the high-electromagnetic-interference environment of the refinery, reducing production interruptions by 25%.
3. Metallurgical Industry: A large steel mill used GE DS200CDBAG1ABA to upgrade its blast furnace control system. The module linked the Mark VIe controller to the furnace pressure, temperature, and air flow sensors through PROFINET IO protocol, enabling real-time monitoring and adjustment of blast furnace parameters. The module’s redundancy support ensured uninterrupted communication during network maintenance, improving production efficiency by 18%.

Comparison with Competitors

Selection Suggestions and Precautions

Selection Suggestions

1. For projects using GE Mark VIe/Mark VI control systems that require high-speed, high-reliability data communication, GE DS200CDBAG1ABA is the optimal choice. Its native compatibility with GE’s ecosystem and multi-protocol support ensure seamless integration and stable operation.
2. Prioritize this module for critical industries (e.g., nuclear power, petrochemicals) where communication reliability and anti-interference capability are non-negotiable. Its redundancy support and industrial-grade design minimize the risk of unplanned downtime.
3. For retrofitting legacy GE control systems (such as Mark V upgrades), GE DS200CDBAG1ABA is a cost-effective solution. It integrates seamlessly with existing hardware, avoiding the need for full system replacement and reducing upgrade costs.

Precautions

1. Install the module securely on a 35mm DIN rail and keep it away from high-power inverters, motors, and other strong electromagnetic interference sources. Use shielded Cat5e/Cat6 cables for Ethernet wiring and maintain a distance of at least 30cm from power cables.
2. Follow the product manual strictly for wiring, ensuring correct connection of Ethernet ports and controller bus interfaces. Avoid exceeding the maximum communication distance to prevent signal attenuation.
3. Maintain the operating voltage within the range of 20.4V DC – 28.8V DC. Use a stable power supply with surge protection to avoid voltage fluctuations that may affect module performance.
4. Configure communication parameters (IP address, protocol type, bus settings) consistently with the connected devices using GE’s dedicated software to prevent protocol mismatches and communication failures.
5. Conduct regular inspections of the module’s status indicators and network connections. Clean dust from the ports periodically and use the built-in diagnostic function to monitor communication health, addressing anomalies promptly.
6. Store the module in a dry, well-ventilated, and vibration-free environment. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and corrosive gases. Back up configuration parameters before replacement to ensure seamless system integration.
