Selection Guidelines
-
When to choose: Applications requiring mixed analog inputs, Ethernet bridging, and field device powering in a single module.
-
Power Outputs: Use isolated 24 VDC outputs to power 2-wire transmitters or field devices—reduce external power supplies.
-
Analog Input Configuration: Configure per channel for sensor type and range in Toolbox ST.
-
Ethernet Configuration: Configure bridging and protocol settings.
-
Coating Verification: Inspect under UV (365 nm) upon receipt—uniform fluorescence indicates proper coating.
-
Compatibility: Fits all Mark VIe VME64x racks. Requires ControlST v6.5 or higher.
Operational Precautions
-
Wiring: Follow GE wiring diagrams—correct polarity and shield grounding essential.
-
Power Outputs: Verify field device power consumption does not exceed 2 A per channel; 4 A total.
-
Calibration: Factory calibrated—verify against known references during commissioning.
-
Ethernet Configuration: Configure IP addresses and protocol settings before plant network connection.
-
LED Diagnostics: Green = normal; Amber = fault; Red = module fault.
-
Fault Log: Access 500-event log via Toolbox ST.
-
Coating Care: Use GE-approved cleaner; inspect annually under UV.
-
Hot-Swap: Remove/insert slowly under power.
-
Spare Stock: Maintain 1 spare per 3–4 racks.
-
ESD: Handle by edges with grounded wrist strap.
-
Storage: Anti-static bag with desiccant at –40 to +85 °C; rotate every 3 years.
