DS200RTBAG2AFB
Main Features and Advantages
Multiple Relay Configuration
The GE DS200RTBAG2AFB comes equipped with a total of ten relays, consisting of two types: DPDT and 4PDT. The seven DPDT relays offer two C – type contacts each, capable of handling up to 10A per contact. This is beneficial for applications that require higher current – handling capabilities, such as power – intensive industrial processes. The three 4PDT relays, on the other hand, have four C – type contacts each with a 1A rating per contact, providing flexibility for applications with lower current requirements. This diverse relay configuration allows the board to be used in a wide range of industrial scenarios.
Voltage Protection
Featuring 130 VAC metal – oxide varistors (MOV), the board offers robust protection against voltage surges. These MOVs safeguard the relays and other components on the board from potential damage caused by abnormal voltage spikes in the electrical system. This protection mechanism is crucial in industrial environments where electrical disturbances are common, ensuring the long – term reliability and stability of the DS200RTBAG2AFB and the overall control system.
Easy Relay Replacement
In the event of a relay failure, users can easily remove and replace all ten relays on the DS200RTBAG2AFB. This simplicity in replacement not only reduces downtime but also makes maintenance more cost – effective. There’s no need for complex procedures or specialized tools, enabling quick restoration of the board’s full functionality.
Compatibility with GE Mark V Systems
As a part of the GE Mark V Speedtronic system, the DS200RTBAG2AFB is designed for seamless integration. It works in harmony with other components within the Mark V platform, ensuring smooth communication and coordinated operation. This compatibility simplifies system design and implementation, making it easier for engineers to build reliable industrial control systems.

Application Field
In power generation plants, the GE DS200RTBAG2AFB plays a significant role in controlling turbines. It can be used to manage the opening and closing of valves that regulate the flow of steam or fuel to the turbine. By accurately switching the relays based on control signals from the turbine control system, it helps maintain the optimal speed and power output of the turbine, ensuring efficient power generation.
Oil and gas facilities also rely on the DS200RTBAG2AFB for various control applications. For example, in oil refineries, it can control the operation of pumps and compressors. The relays on the board can be used to start or stop these devices based on process requirements, such as maintaining a certain pressure or flow rate in the pipelines. In gas processing plants, it can be used to control the safety – critical equipment, ensuring the safe and reliable operation of the facility.
In industrial manufacturing plants that use turbines for power or process control, the GE DS200RTBAG2AFB is used to interface between the control system and the equipment. It can control the speed of conveyor belts, the operation of robotic arms, or other machinery that is powered or controlled by the turbine – based system. This allows for precise control over the manufacturing process, improving product quality and production efficiency.
