About the IS200ICBDH1ACB
The IS200ICBDH1ACB is a component made by General Electric for the Mark VI series. The Mark VI is part of the Speedtronic line, which is a series of gas and steam turbine management systems created, developed, and continually improved by General Electric for over thirty years. The Mark VI is one of the last of these systems to be released and includes Ethernet communication capabilities, a PC running on a Windows platform for a primary operator interface, and circuit board components designed for easy replacement in rack systems that have backplane connectors for reliable ‘plug-in’ capability. This IS200ICBDH1ACB device's Mark VI Series is additionally considered a massive functional upgrade upon the previously-existing Mark V Turbine Control System Series of a similar full extended series name, as the Mark V Series had not yet adopted this IS200ICBDH1ACB product's potential wind turbine-based applications.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
The IS200ICBDH1ACB is a narrow rectangular shaped printed circuit board that is not connected to a faceplate. This IS200ICBDH1ACB product is actually not the originally-developed device of its specific Mark VI Turbine Control System Series functionality, as that would have to be considered the IS200ICBDH1 parent printed circuit board notably not adopting this IS200ICBDH1ACB device's two functional product revisions or singular B-rated artwork configuration. This specific IS200ICBDH1ACB Mark VI Turbine Control System Series product has to be considered to exist as something of a fragile style of General Electric printed circuit board, as it exists with a relatively thin style of base printed circuit board that poses something of a snap risk. At least the entire base printed circuit board of this IS200ICBDH1ACB product is afforded protection through a thin industry-standard style of conformal PCB coating much more expansive in its coverage compared to the previous normal type. The board has multiple connectors on its surface. These include the following:
- Three backplane connectors (female.) Each backplane connector has its “Pin 1” location marked.
- Four jack connectors (female.) These are placed side-by-side and are labeled J11A/J11B and J12A/J12B.
- One 9-pin D-Sub connector (female.) This is labeled J9.
- One 8-pin mini-DIN connector (female.) This is labeled J10.
- Four stab-on connectors. These are labeled Chas1/Chas2 and CCom1/CCom2.
- Two conduction sensors.
- Four male vertical pin connectors, from 9-pins to 40-pins.
The IS200ICBDH1ACB has a reset switch located in one corner. The board has over a dozen integrated circuits, four transistors, three transformers, and a fuse. The fuse is labeled FA/00. The board has over 100 resistors and over 50 capacitors. The board is marked with the board ID number, the code 6BA03, and the manufacturer’s logo. Given this IS200ICBDH1ACB device's specific functionality as a terminal board product within its greater Mark VI Turbine Control System Series automated drive assembly, it should not be too surprising to know that this IS200ICBDH1ACB product is something of an especially voltage-threatened GE printed circuti board product. With this in mind, any installation or replacement of the IS200ICBDH1ACB printed circuit board here should be handled with the protection offered by a standard wrist installation grounding strap.
