DS200DCFBG1BLC
Product Name
GE Digital DS200DCFBG1BLC DC Field Bus Interface Module (Mark VIe Control System Dedicated)
(Naming convention explanation for GE Mark VIe modules:
- “DS200”: Product family prefix, identifying the “Digital System 200” series—GE’s core I/O and communication modules for Mark VIe controllers (distinguished from “IS200” safety modules).
- “DCFBG”: Function code: “DC” = Direct Current (power/device compatibility); “FBG” = Field Bus Gateway, specifying its role as a bridge between DC field devices and the Mark VIe backplane.
- “1BLC”: Variant identifier: “1” = single-port configuration; “BLC” denotes enhanced noise immunity and compliance with industrial DC bus standards (e.g., 24V DC field networks).
- Core positioning: Acts as the “DC device communication hub” in Mark VIe systems, translating signals between DC sensors/actuators and the controller to support real-time process control in power and heavy industries.)
2. Product Description
The GE DS200DCFBG1BLC is a rugged, industrial-grade DC field bus interface module engineered to address reliable DC device integration challenges in critical environments (e.g., gas turbine control systems, power plant auxiliary equipment, and industrial compressor stations). As a key component of GE’s Mark VIe ecosystem—renowned for high availability and fault tolerance—it delivers validated value through four core capabilities:
2.1 Seamless Mark VIe System Integration
Optimized for plug-and-play compatibility with GE’s Mark VIe control architecture:
- Connects directly to the Mark VIe controller backplane (via GE’s proprietary Genius Bus or Ethernet-based Profinet), enabling automatic recognition by GE CIMPLICITY HMI/SCADA software—reducing integration time by 60% vs. third-party modules.
