GE WESCOM D200 High-Performance PLC Module

GE WES5302-150 Digital Output Board
Also Known As:

• Input/Output Module WES5302-150

• Analog Control Board WES5302-150

• Editable Control Board WES5302-150

• VME-2170A Optocoupler Digital Output Board

Overview

The GE WES5302-150 is a high-performance digital output board that forms part of the General Electric Fanuc Automation VMIC series. It is specifically designed for use in VMEbus-based control systems and is equipped with 32 optically isolated high-level outputs, allowing for precise and safe signal transmission in industrial environments.

Key Features

• VMEbus Compatible: Includes logic and data control circuitry fully compatible with VMEbus standards

• Output Registers: Four 8-bit output registers supporting both 8-bit and 16-bit data transmission

• Optical Isolation: Each of the 32 outputs is isolated from the others and from the VMEbus via high-reliability optocouplers

• Electromagnetic Interference Reduction: Optocoupler design allows digital signals to be transmitted via fiber optics, significantly minimizing EMI

• Current Isolation: Provides electrical isolation to protect system integrity and connected devices

• Dual Eurocard Form Factor: Uses a standard dual Eurocard-sized PCB for seamless integration and mechanical compatibility

• Pull-Up Resistor Support: Field-configurable pull-up resistors available; external pull-up voltage required

• Output Current Range: Supports output current levels from 2.5 mA to 300 mA

• Data Transmission Modes: Supports both monitoring and non-privileged data transmission

Applications

• Industrial automation systems

• Signal transmission and control applications

• Electromagnetic-sensitive environments

• Power systems requiring digital I/O and isolation

Technical Summary

Compatibility

The WES5302-150 is fully compatible with other components in GE's VMIC series, offering a reliable and efficient solution for modern industrial control environments requiring robust, isolated digital output functionality.
