The DS200TBQAG1A scales thermocouple I/O density by multiplexing 180 direct field wire connections through terminal blocks TB1 and TB2 into three 20-pin ribbon headers (JAR, JAS, and JAT). Channelized signal paths (covering signal numbers 1 through 45) pass directly to the connected TCQA board, preserving rapid signal propagation without intermediate processing delays. This fixed hardware pathway maintains full firmware flash compatibility and sustained backplane bus communication velocity across triple-redundant Mark V turbine controller racks.
Q: Are there hardware jumpers on the DS200TBQAG1A board to configure thermocouple input types?
A: No, the DS200TBQAG1A features a jumper-less design; all signal routing and configuration are handled via the connected TCQA board and system software.
Q: How are the 20-pin ribbon cable connectors assigned on the DS200TBQAG1A board?
A: Connectors JAR, JAS, and JAT interface directly with the TCQA board, each routing distinct subsets of thermocouple signal channels 1 through 45.
Our production line was down due to a faulty Bently Nevada monitor. We found it in stock here and they shipped it via DHL immediately. Back in operation within 48 hours—truly a lifesaver for our plant.
Finding brand new, original modules is critical for our safety. This team delivers factory-fresh components with full certification. Their commitment to only selling new products makes them our most trusted partner.
We have sourced Honeywell and Schneider parts here for two years. Every shipment arrives well-packaged with original factory seals intact. Clear communication and the best lead times in the industry.
