Hazardous Location CertificationComplies with intrinsic safety "ic" protection standards, certified for Class I, Division 2 (Groups A, B, C, D) and Class I, Zone 2 (Group IIC) hazardous locations, as well as ATEX Zone 2 (Group IIC). It limits electrical energy to prevent ignition of flammable gases/vapors, ensuring safe operation in explosive industrial environments.
Discrete Input Signal SupportSpecialized for processing standard industrial discrete input signals (e.g., contact closures from switches, relays), with compatibility for 0–32 V DC contact inputs. It supports both resistive simple apparatus (e.g., relay contacts) and field devices requiring contact wetting, enabling reliable status monitoring of industrial equipment.
Barrier-Type Terminal BlocksEquipped with industrial-grade barrier-type terminal blocks, designed to accept 22–12 AWG copper conductors. The terminal blocks adhere to strict screw torque standards (1.1 Nm / 9.6 in-lb), ensuring vibration-resistant, corrosion-free connections that maintain signal integrity in harsh industrial conditions.
Mark VIe System CompatibilityExclusively engineered for integration with GE Mark VIe discrete input I/O packs (e.g., IS220PDIAH1A, IS220PDIAH1B) and Mark VIeS safety discrete input I/O packs (e.g., IS220YDIAS1A, ISx2yYDIAS1B). It leverages GE’s proprietary backplane protocols to ensure seamless signal transmission and system synchronization.
Contact Wetting Power ProvisionProvides isolated contact wetting power (up to 32 V DC, 110 mA DC) for field discrete devices, eliminating the need for external power sources. This simplifies field wiring and ensures consistent power supply to input devices, reducing installation complexity and potential signal errors.
Environmental DurabilityFeatures a robust design with optional conformal coating (for harsh environments) to resist moisture, dust, and industrial contaminants. It operates within a wide ambient temperature range of -30 °C to +65 °C (-22 °F to +149 °F), maintaining stable performance in extreme field conditions.
Intrinsic Safety Parameter ComplianceDefined entity parameters (Voc = 32 V, Isc = 13.4 mA, Po = 0.43 W, Ca = 0.18 µF, La = 100 mH) to match associated apparatus requirements. It calculates and limits cable capacitance/inductance (using 60 pF/ft and 0.2 µH/ft as default values if unprovided) to meet intrinsic safety system requirements.
RoHS ComplianceManufactured in accordance with RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) standards, eliminating hazardous materials (e.g., lead, mercury) to meet global environmental regulations and support sustainable industrial practices.
