DS200ADMAH1AAC integrated circuit board

Functional Overview
The DS200ADMAH1AAC is a 24-channel discrete (digital) input module in the GE Mark VIe control system. Its primary function is to collect discrete signals (contact open/close signals) generated by field devices such as sensors,
 switches, and relays, convert them into digital signals that can be recognized and processed by the PLC or control system CPU,
and transmit the processed data to the GE Speedtronic turbine control system or other control equipment, enabling automated control and monitoring.

Certifications and Safety

This module is UL certified and can be used in both hazardous and non-hazardous locations. The UL certification covers various classes and divisions, and relevant UL mark documents are available for reference.

Intelligent automation is the development trend of Jiashida’s production process. Like many companies, manufacturers are facing the challenge of diversifying their production. From large-volume continuous production to small-volume customized production, the Taiwanese company is striving to further improve production flexibility and product quality to ensure its invincibility in future market competition.

Qisda’s production line in Taiwan is designed to produce LCD screens ranging from 19 to 32 inches, which is an example of the increased complexity of production. Increasing demands for diversity, flexibility and high quality require more complex automated production. Therefore, the company is focusing on a smarter way of working, automating the entire production line with ABB robots.

Zhao Shixian, senior manager of Qisda’s smart factory solutions, said: “The production line designed by Qisda allows people and ABB robots to work hand in hand, so we have the best production flexibility.”

accurate locating

ABB robots perform several tasks online, including assembling parts supplied by operators, screwing valve covers onto the back of monitors, testing connection ports, and performing inspections of components using vision systems. “Take Taiwan’s LCD monitors as an example. Starting from product assembly and packaging testing, ABB robots will be involved in the entire process.” Zhao Shixian said.

Robots precisely position workpieces as workers repair them

In terms of improving production quality, robots provide stability and accuracy for equipment positioning. Depending on the product, the robot can accurately carry out the next step on the parts provided by the assembly line workers, and then hand them over to the operator to continue other operations. This will help maintain efficient production without the need for different positioning equipment.

Respect and listen to customer needs

Qisda’s intelligent engineering solutions team has its own insights into how to plan the future production blueprint, but they lack relevant experience in robotic automation. Therefore, they seek a partner who respects their opinions and needs and has automation experience in the computing, communications and consumer electronics (3C) industries. Moreover, the Taiwanese manufacturer is pressed for time to install applications and increase production capacity, necessitating smooth and close relationships with partners.

Qisda chose ABB, firstly, because ABB has rich experience in the 3C industry, and secondly, because ABB is interested in working with Qisda to develop customized solutions that meet its needs.

Since installing ABB robots, Qisda has reduced low-skilled manual work by 51%. Employees who previously performed repetitive and boring tasks will now receive new training to perform more valuable professional tasks, while manufacturing productivity management levels have increased by 74%. The work injury rate has been greatly reduced, and the output per unit area has increased by 52%.

After understanding the above data, Qisda is further planning to invest in intelligent robots in various production locations to achieve production automation. From Qisda’s perspective, the collaborative relationship with ABB is bound to become part of its new production concept in the future. Zhao Shixian said: “Under the trend of Industry 4.0, we hope to establish a long-term friendly partnership with ABB and achieve a win-win situation for both parties.”
