About the IS200BAIAH1BCB
The IS200BAIAH1BCB is a Bridge Application Interface Board (BAIA) made by General Electric, specifically for placement in their Mark VI Turbine Control System Series, as stated above in the brief IS200BAIAH1BCB Bridge Application Interface Board product description. The Mark VI Series that this IS200BAIAH1BCB product belongs to, as partially described through its full extended GE series name, pertains to a series of consecutive functional role opportunities specifically in the control systems and management systems of General Electric-compatible gas, steam, and even wind turbines, specifically. This is generally heralded as quite the upgrade upon the Mark V Turbine Control System Series of the same full extended series name, as the Mark V Series' potential functional applications are limited to just gas and steam-based functional application settings alone.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
The IS200BAIAH1BCB is meant to be a replacement printed circuit board. This board contains reloaded firmware that is stored on a factory-installed EEPROM. This EEPROM shouldn’t be removed or reprogrammed and if it becomes damaged the entire board will need to be replaced. There is an RS-232C I/O interface that leads from the DSPX board to the keypad and PC for the drive. The IS200BAIAH1BCB typically slides into a control rack and is positioned vertically. This board should always be installed into the correct slot because the slots are typically configured for specific boards. Installing the board into an incorrect slot will damage it. There is a label on the faceplate that instructs the user to only install this board into Slot 1. Also, on the faceplate for this board is an LED indicator light labeled IMOK or "I am OK". There are also two ejector tabs and two mounting screws that will aid the user in installing and removing the board from the rack.
The IS200BAIAH1BCB has many components. It has over 50 integrated circuits, 3 relays, 6 transistors, an inductor, 6 diodes, 5 jumpers, a JTAG connector, and two transformers. There are over a hundred capacitors and resistors on this card. There are a total of two connectors that slide into card slots that are located on the control rack assembly. For more information about installing the IS200BAIAH1BCB, please read datasheet: GEI-100268A that was initially produced by General Electric. In terms of its larger control rack backplane, this IS200BAIAH1BCB PCB is connected through the use of two separate connectors labeled by the distinct factory-printed nomenclature labels of P1 and P2. These are not the only labeled piece of hardware made available to this IS200BAIAH1BCB device's base printed circuit board, as it additionally incorporates a series of important diagnostic components into its normal Mark VI Turbine Control System Series assembly. First off, this IS200BAIAH1BCB device makes use of several test points for the diagnostic of functional normative or faulty IS200BAIAH1BCB Board operation conditions, such as the Buffered analog input test points one and two, as well as the Common for analog inputs test point four. In addition to test points, this IS200BAIAH1BCB device's assembly is accompanied by several jumpers, including the:
- JP5A Lowers AIN1 input impedance jumper
- JP5B Connects burden resistor across AIN1 input pair jumper
- JP6A Lowers AIN2 input impedance jumper
- JP6B Connects burden resistor across AIN2 input pair jumper
