Selection Guidelines
-
When to choose: Solenoid and valve control applications requiring 2 A continuous, 5 A inrush capability.
-
Load Verification: Verify solenoid/actuator inrush and holding currents do not exceed 5 A inrush or 2 A continuous.
-
Field Power Supply: Provide dedicated 24 VDC field power supply with sufficient capacity for all solenoids simultaneously.
-
Wiring: Use appropriate wire gauge (18 AWG minimum for 2 A loads).
-
Compatibility: Fits all Mark VIe VME64x racks. Requires ControlST v6.0 or higher.
Operational Precautions
-
Wiring: Follow GE wiring diagrams—correct polarity for external field power.
-
Field Power: Properly size and fuse external 24 VDC supply (20 A fuse recommended).
-
Load Monitoring: Use Toolbox ST to view per-channel current readings—trending increasing current indicates solenoid wear.
-
Short-Circuit Testing: Simulate short to verify auto-shutdown and auto-retry functionality.
-
LED Diagnostics: Green = output on; Amber = output off with fault; Red = module fault.
-
Fault Log: Access 500-event log via Toolbox ST.
-
Hot-Swap: Remove/insert slowly under power.
-
Spare Stock: Maintain 1 spare per 3–4 racks.
-
Firmware Updates: Ensure the GE IS210DSVOH1A is in “standby” mode during updates.
-
ESD: Handle by edges with grounded wrist strap.
