Product Introduction

The DS200RTBAG5 is an ultra-high-density relay output termination board for GE’s Mark V DS200 series, used in Speedtronic turbine control systems. It provides 80 independent Form C relay outputs arranged as five isolated banks of 16 relays each—the absolute highest channel count in the entire Mark V product family.

The “5” designation indicates a penta-bank board (five independent termination sections on one PCB). This is essentially five RTBAG1A boards integrated onto a single assembly. It is designed for the largest turbine control applications requiring maximum relay density: complete auxiliary control for combined cycle plants, large compressor stations, or any system requiring 80 discrete outputs in a single rack slot. Maximum density. Maximum integration. Maximum complexity.

Key Technical Specifications

Key Selling Points & Differentiators

• 80 relays in a single slot – Five independent banks of 16 relays. Replaces five RTBAG1A boards and saves four rack slots. Highest density relay output board ever made for Mark V. Maximum channel count.
• Penta bank-to-bank isolation at 1500 VAC – Banks A, B, C, D, and E are electrically isolated from each other. Connect Bank A to 24 VDC, Bank B to 48 VDC, Bank C to 120 VAC, Bank D to 240 VAC, and Bank E to 12 VDC on the same board.
• Independent ribbon cables per bank – Use five separate output modules to control each bank independently. Ultimate flexibility.
• Removable screw terminal blocks on all 240 terminals – 80 relays x 3 terminals each = 240 field wiring points. Terminal blocks color-coded: Bank A (gray), Bank B (black), Bank C (blue), Bank D (green), Bank E (orange).
• Per-channel LED for visual status – Red LED per relay across all 80 channels.
• Flyback diode protection on every coil – Protects Mark V output modules.
• QC includes 100-cycle test on all 80 relays – Every relay cycled. All 10 bank-to-bank isolation combinations verified at 1800 VAC.
• 2-year warranty – Covers any manufacturing defect on any of the five banks.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What are the dimensions and cabinet requirements?
A: 560 mm wide x 260 mm tall x 55 mm deep. Requires custom cabinet or 24-inch rack (standard 19-inch rack is 483 mm—too narrow). We recommend a minimum 600 mm internal width. Two people required for installation.

Q: What is the maximum backplane current draw?
A: 1200 mA (1.2 A) at 24 VDC with all 80 relays energized. Most Mark V power supplies are rated 2–5 A. The RTBAG5 uses 1.2 A, leaving 0.8–3.8 A for other modules. For heavily loaded systems, use the RTBAG5E (external coil power, special order).

Q: Can I replace five RTBAG1A boards with one RTBAG5?
A: Yes, but requires extensive re-engineering. Allow 20–30 hours for re-termination and logic changes. We strongly recommend a factory site visit for first-time installations. Conversion worksheet available.

Q: What QC tests are unique to the RTBAG5?
A: All standard RTBA tests plus: 10 bank-to-bank isolation combinations (A-B, A-C, A-D, A-E, B-C, B-D, B-E, C-D, C-E, D-E) at 1800 VAC; thermal imaging at 2 A average across 80 relays; all 80 relays cycle-tested.

Q: What shipping protection?
A: Custom foam cradle for 560 mm width. Double-wall box with “EXTRA WIDE,” “HEAVY,” “FRAGILE” labels. Shock indicator. Each board ships individually. Use a pallet for shipment.
