Frequently Asked Questions about IS200EDEXG1A
What are the shutdown operations on the IS200EDEXG1A board?
There are two shutdown operations on the IS200EDEXG1A board. One is a normal shutdown which is a stop that is initiated by an operator, the bridge will be fired at retard limit which allows sufficient time for the field to decay before the field contactors are opened. The second shutdown is an abort stop, the field contactors in this shutdown will be opened immediately.
The EDEX board is typically controlled by the EXTB board, if the EDEX board fails can the EXTB board initiate de-excitation?
Yes. The EXTB board can initiate de-excitation if necessary.
Can more than one EDEX module be connected?
Yes! It is possible to connect more than one de-excitation module with one EDEX board configured to be the Master while the remaining de-excitation modules are configured to be Slave modules. If more than one module has been connected then a firing control signal will be sent to the Master module and will then be relayed to the Slave modules, firing all modules simultaneously.
There are two groups of EDEX models, what is the difference between the two?
The difference between the two EDEX models is that the group one board is designed specifically for SCR de-excitation and the group two board is designed for diode de-excitation.
