Hardware Specifications

Profinet / EtherNet/IP Deterministic Networks and Driver Integration

The DS200TCDAG1A board incorporates an on-board microprocessor and removable PROM modules to condition digital contact inputs for the digital I/O core across deterministic control architectures. It maintains high backplane bus communication velocity compatibility and precise instruction timing to ensure synchronized execution in Mark V topologies. Furthermore, internal jumper configurations (such as IONET termination and ID selection) and firmware flash compatibility guarantee robust electromagnetic immunity and reliable data exchange under high I/O density scaling demands.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the primary function of the DS200TCDAG1A board within the Mark V system?

A: The board conditions and processes digital contact inputs originating from corresponding terminal boards (such as DTBA and DTBB) for the digital I/O core.

Q: What purpose do jumpers J2 and J3 serve on this printed circuit board?

A: Jumpers J2 and J3 are utilized for the selection and configuration of IONET termination resistors.

Field Installation Guidelines

Ensure that all control power distribution feeds and cabinet supply rails are completely de-energized, locked out, and tagged prior to handling or installing the DS200TCDAG1A board. Use proper electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist protection and guide the printed circuit board carefully along the rack guides until fully seated in the backplane connectors. Verify jumper settings (J1 through J8) and secure any mounting fasteners before restoring system power.
