This \u003cstrong\u003eIndustrial Automation Module\u003c\/strong\u003e acts as the electrical interface between one or two I\/O Ethernet networks and an analog input terminal board. It combines a processor board shared by all Mark VIe distributed I\/O packs with a dedicated acquisition board for analog input functions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith the ability to handle up to ten analog inputs—eight configurable as 5 V, 10 V, or 0-20 mA current loops, and two as 1 mA or 0-20 mA current inputs—the IS220PAICH1B offers flexible signal conditioning. It also provides two 0-20 mA analog outputs for control or retransmission.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe following parameters are directly from the manufacturer's data:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of channels:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12 per terminal board (10 AI, 2 AO)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInput span:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1-5 V dc, ±5 V dc, ±10 V dc, or 0-20 mA (Inputs 1-8); 0-20 mA or ±1 mA (Inputs 9-10)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInput converter resolution:\u003c\/strong\u003e 16-bit analog-to-digital converter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScan time:\u003c\/strong\u003e Normal scan 5 ms (200 Hz); maximum controller frame rate is 100 Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower consumption:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5.3 W typical, 6.2 W worst case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAmbient temperature range:\u003c\/strong\u003e -40 to 158°F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAnalog transmitter power:\u003c\/strong\u003e 22.8 VDC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFunctional acronym:\u003c\/strong\u003e PAIC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNon-hazardous certification:\u003c\/strong\u003e UL E207685\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFunctional Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eIS220PAICH1B\u003c\/strong\u003e uses a 16-bit ADC to digitize analog inputs, with a 5 ms scan time ensuring fast response. For current inputs, the terminal board includes a 250 Ω burden resistor, producing a 5 V signal at 20 mA. The two analog outputs operate at 18 V compliance in simplex or TMR mode, with a 14-bit DAC and a current regulator loop for precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach output circuit includes a normally open mechanical relay for enabling\/disabling output. In TMR systems, this relay isolates a failed output, allowing the remaining PAICs to maintain correct operation—a critical feature for fault-tolerant control.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAuto-Reconfiguration \u0026amp; Diagnostics\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Auto-Reconfiguration feature simplifies maintenance: when the controller detects a pack booting with a different configuration, it automatically downloads the correct bootload, baseload, firmware, and parameters. This eliminates manual reconfiguration and reduces downtime.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDiagnostics are supported via LED indicators and specific alarms. For example, alarm 82-83 indicates a non-functional suicide relay, often due to mismatched feedback or hardware failure, requiring pack replacement. Alarm 66-67 indicates individual output current too high relative to total current.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCompatibility \u0026amp; Integration\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis module is part of the Mark VIe series and works with GE's distributed I\/O architecture. It connects to I\/O Ethernet networks via two RJ45 connectors and uses a DC-37 pin connector for output to the terminal board. Compatible terminal boards include IS200TBAIH1C, IS200TAIH1A, and IS200TAIH2A. The pack's three-pin power input accepts 24 or 28 VDC nominal, with a minimum of 22.5 VDC.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation \u0026amp; Setup Guidance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen installing the \u003cstrong\u003eIS220PAICH1B\u003c\/strong\u003e, ensure the terminal board is properly matched. For IS200TBAIH1C, use a minimum wire size of 22 AWG. Verify the pack's configuration matches the controller's expected settings to avoid reconfiguration delays. Power up sequence uses a soft-start circuit to gradually increase voltage, so allow a few seconds for initialization.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMaintenance \u0026amp; Reliability\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRegular inspection of connectors and LEDs helps detect early issues. Operate within the specified ambient temperature range (-40 to 158°F) to ensure reliable performance. The pack is certified for ATEX Zone 2, Group IIC locations per EN 60079 standards, and UL E207685 for non-hazardous areas, making it suitable for a variety of industrial sites.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSelection Guide \u0026amp; Purchasing Advice\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBefore purchasing, verify your system's compatibility with the Mark VIe series and confirm the terminal board model.
