GE DS200SDCCG1AHD Mark VIe Digital Input/Output Module
Product Overview
The GE DS200SDCCG1AHD is a high-performance Digital Input/Output (DI/DO) Module designed for GE’s Mark VIe distributed control system (DCS), serving as a critical interface between field devices and the control platform in industrial automation ecosystems. Engineered to manage discrete signals in mission-critical applications, this module supports both input monitoring (e.g., switch states, limit sensors) and output control (e.g., relays, actuators), making it indispensable for power generation, oil & gas, and manufacturing sectors. As part of the DS200 Series, the DS200SDCCG1AHD delivers reliable signal conditioning, fault tolerance, and seamless integration with other Mark VIe components, ensuring precise control and safety in harsh industrial environments.
Featuring a rugged industrial design, the GE DS200SDCCG1AHD offers 16 isolated digital input channels and 16 solid-state relay output channels, each capable of handling 24 V DC signals with galvanic isolation to prevent noise interference. Its dual-core processor enables high-speed signal processing (response time ≤10 ms), while built-in diagnostics continuously monitor channel health, power supply stability, and signal integrity. The module’s hot-swappable design allows for maintenance without system shutdown, minimizing downtime in 24/7 operations. Compatibility with GE’s Proficy Machine Edition software ensures intuitive configuration and real-time diagnostics, enhancing operational efficiency.
In automation systems, the DS200SDCCG1AHD acts as a bridge between the Mark VIe controller and field devices, enabling real-time monitoring of equipment status (e.g., pump running signals, valve positions) and execution of control commands (e.g., motor starts/stops). Its redundant power supply and fault-tolerant architecture meet industry standards for reliability (e.g., IEC 61131-2), making it suitable for safety instrumented systems (SIS) and critical process control. By combining high-speed performance with robust durability, this module optimizes system responsiveness and reduces the risk of unplanned outages.

Key Features and Advantages
Dual-Function Flexibility: The DS200SDCCG1AHD combines digital input and output capabilities in a single module, reducing rack space and simplifying wiring in complex control systems. This dual functionality is ideal for applications requiring both status monitoring and control actuation, such as conveyor systems or pump stations.
Galvanic Isolation and Noise Immunity: Each channel features 250 V RMS galvanic isolation, protecting the control system from voltage surges and ground loops. Advanced filtering algorithms suppress electromagnetic interference (EMI) from motors and power equipment, ensuring reliable signal integrity in high-noise environments.
Hot-Swap Capability: The module’s plug-and-play design allows for replacement while the system is running, the DS200SDCCG1AHD ensures continuous operation during maintenance, a critical feature for industries where downtime is costly, such as power plants or refineries.
Redundant Power Supply: With dual 24 V DC inputs, the module supports power redundancy, eliminating single points of failure. This design ensures uninterrupted operation even if one power source fails, enhancing system resilience in mission-critical applications.
Comprehensive Diagnostics: Built-in LED indicators and software-based diagnostics provide real-time feedback on channel status, power supply health, and module connectivity. Fault alerts are transmitted to the Mark VIe controller, enabling rapid troubleshooting and reducing mean time to repair (MTTR).
Scalable System Integration: As part of the Mark VIe ecosystem, the DS200SDCCG1AHD interoperates seamlessly with GE’s analog modules, communication gateways, and HMIs. Its compatibility with open protocols (via optional gateways) allows integration with third-party SCADA systems, supporting hybrid automation environments.
