GE DS200DMCBG1AED Isolation Terminal Board – Clean, Isolated Field I/O for DS200/Mark V-Based Systems
The GE DS200DMCBG1AED is an isolation terminal board designed for DS200-series and many Mark V/drive control installations. From my experience, it’s typically used to bring field signals into the control safely—providing galvanic isolation, noise immunity, and a tidy termination point for maintenance teams. If you’re stabilizing noisy field wiring, or you need a clean interface between your controller and instruments, this board tends to be the straightforward, reliable choice.

- Clean termination for wiring – Well-laid-out terminal points make field installation and service quicker; you might notice fewer wiring errors during commissioning.
- Optimized for GE DS200/Mark V drive control – Designed to work within the established GE control ecosystem for simpler drop-in replacement.
- Typical discrete I/O isolation – Often used with 24 VDC dry contacts or relay interfaces where isolation and noise filtering are needed.
- Rugged industrial design – Built for cabinet installation with stable mechanical support; in many cases includes protective conformal coatings depending on revision and sourcing.
- Service-friendly layout – From my experience, clearly labeled test points and terminals reduce troubleshooting time.

Application Fields
This board is commonly used in GE DS200/Mark V-based control systems across:
- Power generation (turbine auxiliary systems, balance-of-plant I/O isolation)
- Drives and motion (DC/AC drive cabinets where field discretes need isolation)
- Oil & gas and petrochemical (noisy field wiring routes, long cable runs)
- Steel, paper, and mining (high EMI environments benefiting from opto-isolation)
- Water/wastewater (remote panel I/O consolidation into the central controller)
One thing I appreciate is how it calms down erratic inputs when you’ve got mixed grounding in older plants. A maintenance lead recently mentioned they saw fewer nuisance trips after moving their door interlocks and limit switches onto this isolated board.
Advantages & Value
- Reliability under electrical noise – Isolation and filtering reduce false triggering and protect the controller.
- Compatibility with existing DS200 systems – A practical spare or replacement that seems to integrate without engineering changes in most cases.
- Maintenance efficiency – Clear terminations and labeling save time during shutdowns and troubleshooting.
- Cost control – Mitigates unplanned downtime from noisy field inputs and helps extend the life of the main control board.
- Supported sourcing – We can help verify revisions and connector compatibility against your current cabinet layout.
Installation & Maintenance
- Environment – Install in a clean, ventilated control cabinet; keep ambient within typical 0–60 °C and non-condensing humidity.
- Wiring – Use shielded cables for long runs; terminate shields at one end to avoid ground loops. Re-torque terminal screws after thermal cycling.
- Grounding – Maintain a single-point reference; isolation helps, but good cabinet grounding is still essential.
- Handling – Observe ESD precautions; power down and discharge stored energy before replacement.
- Routine care – Quarterly visual inspection, dust removal with dry air, and connector reseat if needed. Firmware updates are typically not applicable to this terminal board type.
- Documentation – Match jumpers or field link settings (if present) to your site standard; photograph before swap to reduce errors.
Quality & Certifications
- Manufactured to GE’s industrial quality standards; typically used in CE/UL-compliant systems
- ISO-based quality control at the system level for most installations
- RoHS applicability depends on revision and region; we can verify per lot
- Warranty: 365 days from delivery
If you can share your current controller part numbers and cabinet photos, we’ll double-check DS200DMCBG1AED revision compatibility and connectors. That usually prevents minor surprises during installation.
