Description
KONGSBERG RMP200-8
Technical Specifications Brand: KONGSBERG Model: RMP200-8 Power Supply: 24 VDC Input Type: Digital 24 VDC binary inputs Output Type: Relay contact outputs Channel Quantity: 8 digital input and output integrated channels Fieldbus: Kongsberg proprietary automation bus Isolation Voltage: 2500 VAC between field side and bus side Protection Grade: IP20 when mounted inside cabinet Operating Temperature: -25°C to +70°C Humidity: 5% to 95% non-condensing
Functional Features Real-time acquisition of field switch status including limit switches, pressure switches and pump feedback signals. Relay contact outputs to drive solenoid valves and auxiliary contactors. Built-in channel diagnostics to detect wire break and short circuit on field loops. Hot-swap supported, module replacement does not interrupt whole system operation in redundant configuration. Front panel LED indicators display power, bus communication and each channel status. Galvanic isolation between field circuit and control bus eliminates ground loop interference. Self-test runs automatically after power reset to verify hardware integrity.
Application Scenarios Ship machinery control system, offshore platform process automation, marine valve remote control, bilge and fire pump interlock control, safety related binary signal collection for offshore installations.
Performance Parameters Fast signal response for discrete field status change. High diagnostic coverage for field wiring faults. Stable bus communication under strong electromagnetic disturbance from marine power equipment. Shock and vibration resistance meets marine classification standards. Low failure rate during long term offshore continuous service.
Material Composition Front panel: black flame retardant ABS plastic. Circuit board: FR4 multilayer industrial PCB coated with conformal coating against salt mist and humidity. Core components: photoelectric isolators, industrial logic chips, sealed safety relays. Backplane connector: gold-plated edge connector. Indicator: high brightness SMD LED.
Structural Features Standard rack plug-in card form factor, rear gold finger connects to system backplane fieldbus. Circuit layout separates field power circuit and digital bus circuit for noise isolation. Each channel corresponds to independent LED indicator on front panel. Plastic latches on both sides for easy insertion and removal.
Working Principle Field 24 VDC switch signals connect to module input terminals, pass opto-isolation circuit and feed into logic unit. The module reads switch state continuously and checks wire break or short circuit. Process data transmits over backplane bus to Kongsberg main controller. The module receives control commands from main controller to actuate built-in relays, switching contact status to control field actuators. Fault information uploads to central controller when channel abnormality is detected.
Installation Requirements Insert module into rack slot under power-off condition and lock side latches. Field signal cables adopt shielded twisted pair, shield grounded at single end. Signal cables must be routed separately from high power motor and power cables. Complete channel configuration after installation, carry out wiring break and short circuit test for each channel. Ensure cabinet ventilation and leave clearance around modules for heat dissipation.
Usage Notes Do not apply voltage beyond 24 VDC rating to input channels. Check terminal tightness regularly, vibration loosens terminals on marine vessels. Follow Kongsberg maintenance procedure strictly for hot swap operation. Use anti-static wristband during module replacement. Re-verify channel configuration after installing new module.
