About the IS200RAPAG1BCA
The IS200RAPAG1BCA is a GE board component that functions as a Rack Power Supply Board within the Mark VI Speedtronic system. The Mark VI is one of GE’s Speedtronic gas and steam turbine management systems. These began production in the 1960s with the MK1 and continued through the early 2000s with systems like the Mark VI and the Mark VIe. These later systems included Windows-based operator interfaces loaded with proprietary software like CIMPLICITY and GE Control System Toolbox. The Mark VI Series that this IS200RAPAG1BCA printed circuit board or PCB for short belongs to has to be considered something of a significant upgrade upon the mark IV and Mark V Series of the same extended series name that come before, as the Mark VI Series' set of specific functional applications has been expanded to include the control and management systems of General Electric-compatible alternative energy-based wind turbine automated drive assemblies. This IS200RAPAG1BCA PCB is actually not the originally-designed product of its specific Mark VI Series functionality; this would be the IS200RAPAG1 parent RAPA Board notably not incorporating this IS200RAPAG1BCA product's three-fold revision history.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
The IS200RAPAG1BCA mounts into an Innovation Series Rack system. The board provides dc control voltages for other boards within the rack via its P1 connector. The IS200RAPAG1BCA has a wide front faceplate attached to its surface using screw connectors. The faceplate is two slots wide and includes several mounted components, including two LEDs and a reset button. The faceplate has an opening that allows operators to access four test points. It also has two mounting clips, one that carries the GE logo and the other marked with the board number, that help secure the board within the rack system once installed. The board surface of the IS200RAPAG1BCA is populated by heat sinks, capacitors, resistors, an inductor coil, and a 1 amp 250 V fuse. The board has a serial 1024-bit memory device that maintains revision information and board ID. This can be accessed via the P1 connector through the BRDID data line. Additional information about board function, installation, or specifications may be found through GE user guides and manuals. These publications have detailed information regarding proper handling and procedures, as well as necessary precautions.
This IS200RAPAG1BCA product was manufactured by General Electric originally, and as such, makes use of a customized IS200RAPAG1BCA functional product number specially designed to indirectly delegate a number of important IS200RAPAG1BCA Board details. For instance, the IS200RAPAG1BCA functional product number begins with the dual-functional IS200 series tag indirectly asserting this IS200RAPAG1BCA product's normal Mark VI Series assembly version on top of its more standard domestic location of original General Electric manufacture. Some of the other relevant hardware details revealed in this IS200RAPAG1BCA product's IS200RAPAG1BCA functional product number include its RAPA functional product abbreviation, its group one Mark VI Series product grouping, and finally its full three-fold revision history. Unlike the majority of General Electric Mark VI Turbine Control System Series products made available to our extended new and reconditioned inventory here, this IS200RAPAG1BCA device is actually well-contextualized online within a series of relevant originally-printed instructional manual materials. With this being true, the actual significance of this IS200RAPAG1BCA product's Group One Mark VI Series product grouping can be explored. Some of this IS200RAPAG1BCA device's Group One Mark VI Series grouping-dependent specifications include its:
- 48 V dc squarewave, ±10% range
- 25 kHz, ±10% frequency
- Output Load-dependent load
- OC 1K pull-up, Low = Reset PSEN Output with a 100 millisecond maximum
