GE IS230JPDGH1B - 28V PWR DIST DIN RAIL MODULE

OVERVIEW

Product Definition and Function: The GE IS230JPDGH1B is a 28V Power Distribution DIN rail module. It is mainly used in industrial automation control systems to reasonably distribute the incoming 28V power supply to provide stable power output for multiple devices or modules in the system to ensure that these devices can work normally. It is mounted on DIN rail, which is convenient for layout and installation in the control cabinet.

Principle of operation

Power input: The module receives an externally supplied 28V DC power supply through a specific input connector. This power can come from an industrial site power supply system, such as a switching power supply or a battery pack. Protection circuits, such as overvoltage protection, overcurrent protection, and surge suppression circuits, are typically present at the power input port. The overvoltage protection circuit prevents damage to the module caused by high input voltage. When the input voltage exceeds the set safety threshold, the protection circuit will automatically cut off the input power supply or limit the voltage to a safe range; the overcurrent protection circuit works when the input current is too high to avoid damage to the module due to a short-circuit or overload, etc.; and the surge suppression circuit is used to absorb instantaneous high-energy pulses (such as lightning inductions, etc.) in the power supply line to protect the module. The surge suppression circuit is used to absorb instantaneous high energy pulses in the power line (e.g. lightning inductance, etc.) and protect the internal circuitry of the module from surge current.

Power Distribution and Output: The input 28V power is processed inside the module and distributed to several output channels. These output channels can be connected to different devices or modules to provide them with stable 28V power. During the distribution process, each output channel may have independent control and protection mechanisms. For example, some channels may have a current limit function to ensure that the output current does not exceed the rated current of the connected device, preventing the device from being damaged due to overcurrent; and some channels may have a short-circuit protection function, which can quickly cut off the power output of the channel when a short-circuit occurs on the output, avoiding the expansion of the fault. In addition, the module may also have a power status monitoring function, which can monitor the voltage, current and other parameters of each output channel in real time, and send this information to the upper control system through the communication interface (if any), so as to carry out power management and fault diagnosis.

Performance features

Efficient Power Distribution: Efficiently distributes 28V power to multiple output channels to meet the power supply needs of multiple devices. The number of output channels may vary depending on the specific model, but it is generally capable of supplying power to multiple I/O modules, sensors, actuators, and other devices, facilitating system integration and expansion. For example, a typical module may have 8 - 16 output channels to power multiple devices simultaneously, reducing the complexity of power wiring in the system.

Reliable protection: A variety of protection mechanisms, including over-voltage protection, over-current protection and short-circuit protection, ensure the safety of the module itself and the connected devices. These protection functions can effectively respond to various power supply abnormalities that may occur in industrial sites, such as power fluctuations, short-circuit failures, etc., improving the reliability and stability of the system. For example, in a complex industrial automation system with multiple devices, even if a short-circuit occurs in one device, the module can quickly isolate the fault and ensure normal power supply to other devices.

DIN rail mounting convenience: DIN rail mounting is adopted, which is very popular in industrial control cabinets. It makes the installation and dismantling of the module easy and fast, and the position of the module can be easily adjusted on the rail, which is convenient for the layout and maintenance of the system. At the same time, DIN rail mounting is also good for heat dissipation of the module, as there is a certain contact area between the module and the rail, which can effectively dissipate the heat.

Power status monitoring and communication (if available): Some models may have a power status monitoring function and can interact with the upper control system via a communication interface. This allows the operator to know the power status of each output channel in real time, such as whether the voltage and current are normal and other information. In the event of power supply abnormality, it can be detected in time and take corresponding measures, such as remotely cutting off the faulty channel, sending out alarm signals, etc., which further improves the maintainability and safety of the system.

Technical Parameters

Input parameters

Input Voltage: The rated input voltage is 28V DC, the input voltage range may allow some fluctuation, for example, it can fluctuate between 24V - 32V to adapt to the change of power supply in the industrial field.

Input Current Capacity: The input current capacity depends on the design and power handling capability of the module, and can generally withstand input currents from a few amperes (A) to tens of amperes, e.g., the possible input current capacity varies from 5A - 20A, which determines how many devices the module can power.

Output Parameters

Number of Output Channels: The number of output channels is typically 8 - 16, each with an output voltage of 28V DC.

Output Current Limit (per channel): Each output channel may have a different current limit, which can typically be between 0.5A - 2A, depending on the design of the module and the needs of the application. This is to ensure that the output current does not exceed the rated current of the connected equipment and to protect the equipment.

Short-circuit protection: When a short-circuit occurs in an output channel, the module is able to quickly detect and cut off the power output of that channel. The response time of short circuit protection is usually between a few microseconds (μs) and tens of microseconds, depending on the design of the internal circuitry of the module, and fast short circuit protection can effectively prevent the fault from expanding.

Physical Parameters

Dimensions: The external dimensions are designed according to DIN rail mounting requirements and may range from 10cm - 20cm in length, 5cm - 10cm in width and 3cm - 8cm in thickness for easy mounting on DIN rails in control cabinets.

Weight: Lightweight, typically between 100g - 500g, not overly burdensome to the installation and structure of the equipment.

Environmental parameters

Operating temperature range: Able to work in a wide temperature range, generally - 20 ℃ - + 60 ℃, can be adapted to different industrial site temperature conditions.

Humidity range: The relative humidity range is usually 10% - 90% (non-condensing), ensuring normal operation in different humidity environments.
