About the IS200TPROH2C
This IS200TPROH2C PCB or printed circuit board may be more often referred to by its functional industry acronym TPRO. Please be sure to order the correct TPRO board for your particular system; AX Control has several versions of this board that differ only slightly from each other. This version is consider a revised version of an original IS200TPROH2 board, and features a singular PCB revision rated at a "C" grade. This PCB can be more explicitly defined as a Protective Termination Board. The Mark VI Turbine Control System Series that this IS200TPROH2C Protective Termination Board device belongs to, as evidenced through its full extended series name partially, exists with a set of possible functional applications in gas, steam, and wind turbine-based functional applications specifically. This has to be considered quite the functionality-minded upgrade upon General Electric's past-developed Mark V Turbine Control System Series of essentially the same name, as the Mark V Series exists with a more restricted possible application range in gas and steam-based environments alone.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
The IS200TPROH2C Protective Termination Board is a central board to the Mark VI Speedtronic series, and is one of several modified versions of the original IS200TPROH2 parent printed circuit board. This board, while versatile in its applications, is somewhat shrouded in mystery due to the relative inaccessibility of original manufacturer-issued instructional manuals pertaining to the PCB online. With this being true, it is still completely possible to source information about the IS200TPROH2C from a diligent visual inspection and a thorough breakdown of its individualized product name. A visual inspection, as led by one of our AX Control Drive Technicians, can yield a hefty amount of pertinent information for the IS200TPROH2C or any Mark VI Speedtronic series PCB. This IS200TPROH2C model's base board features a number of visible components, including:
- A series of six female ports
- over 100 capacitors for voltage protection
- over 100 resistors for voltage protection
- a metal backplane bracket for mounting purposes
- 2 Metal Oxide Varistors
- 3 labeled female plugs
- various other factory-printed labels, including the IS200TPROH2C product number
The IS200TPROH2C is a unique product both in form and function, and this of course extends to its unique product name. The "IS200" tag present in the initial portion of this unique product number designates the TPRO Termination Board as a printed circuit board that was manufactured by General Electric in their Salem, Virginia manufacturing plant. Moving from the IS200 series tag, the IS200TPROH2C's functional acronym TPRO makes an appearance, quickly followed by the "H2" series grouping designation. The inclusion of "H2" also serves to introduce the style of printed circuit board coating that protects the IS200TPROH2C; conformal PCB coating. Conformal coating is a chemically-applied thin layer of PCB coating, which, while significantly thinner than the normal PCB coating alternative; covers the entirety of every Termination Board component exhaustively. The final "C" digit present in the IS200TPROH2C part number is important as well, as it signifies the presence of a singular PCB revision rated at a "C" grade. This revision is classified as a functional revision, as it makes significant improvements to the overall functionality of the IS200TPROH2C.
