About the IS200BICRH1A
The IS200BICRH1A is a GE printed circuit board component manufactured for their Mark VI system. The MKVI is the fifth release of the successful Speedtronic series for gas/steam turbine management. This series has been in use since the release of the Mark I Turbine Control System Series of the same exact full extended series name in the 1960s. Since then, General Electric has developed and improved several new versions of the Speedtronic management system using the best technology available at the time of release. The Mark VI has a Windows PC-based operator interface loaded with proprietary software from GE like their Control System Toolbox and Cimplicity graphics. The Mark IV Series is one of the final General Electric product series to make use of the company's patented Speedtronic control system technology first seen with the release of the Mark I Series, which greatly raises its original general market demand overall. This IS200BICRH1A device's greater Mark VI Series additionally represents a massive upgrade within General Electric's Mark Series Suite of products, as it expands the possible functional applications of General Electric products to include the automated control and management systems of wind turbine systems specifically.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
The IS200BICRH1A functions within the Mark VI system as a bridge interface board. This board is used in Innovation Series Medium Voltage/GP Type H drives and provides an interface between the bridge and the drive control. The IS200BICRH1A has eight digital optically isolated inputs and outputs. It has three analog feedback inputs, including one at 0-10V and two at 0-20 mA. The backplane connector marked P1 is used for fault string, isolated I/O and bridge control. The backplane connector marked P2 is used for control board interface and logic power supply connections. As detailed in the IS200BICRH1A instructional manual materials made available in our convenient manuals tab above, this IS200BICRH1A product makes use of two total fault string inputs, with one of these inputs being utilized for the interlock contacts' panel series string, and the other applied for full working functionality of the interlock contacts' system string. This IS200BICRH1A product is not actually the originally-developed product of its specific Mark VI Series functionality, as that would have to be considered the IS200BICRH1 parent PCB not making use of this IS200BICRH1A device's A-rated functional product revision. The IS200BICRH1A includes eight relay outputs (solid state) that route to the CTBC terminal board through a CABP board. Each of these outputs is indicated by a yellow LED and is optically isolated from the control. The IS200BICRH1A has two terminal boards mounted in the front faceplate. These are marked TB1 and TB2. The board has two backplane connectors, eighteen LEDs, two fuses, and eight user TP test points. The board has more test points, they are not relevant to the end user. All test points for the end-user are accessible via an opening in the board’s front faceplate. This IS200BICRH1A product also has a crucial General Electric-intended application in the processes of both MA and MB contactor control, as once again delegated in the above-included instructional manual materials. With this in mind, this IS200BICRH1A product has a series of closely-defined voltage ratings for these contactors as follows:
- For the MA Form C Contactor: 6 A at 125 V ac, .6 A at 110 V dc, and 2 A at 30 V dc voltage
- For the MB Form A Contactor: 6 A at 125 V ac, .6 A at 110 V dc, and 2 A at 30 V dc voltage as well
While this IS200BICRH1A product's contactor-specific voltage ratings could have been simply summarized as identical, the fact that General Electric chose to spell out this product's matching voltage ratings here in the above-included instructional manuals points to the absolute necessity of getting these voltages right, in lieu of potentially-caused lasting damage through present surface voltages. This IS200BICRH1A product's functional product number itself can be described as a fine supplementary source of IS200BICRH1A Board hardware component and component specification information, as it codes for various IS200BICRH1A Board details through a series of functional naming components. Some of these details include this IS200BICRH1A device's normal Mark VI Series assembly, its domestic original manufacture location, its conformal PCB coating style, its group one Mark VI Series product grouping, and finally its A-rated functional product revision.
