About the IS200VAICH1DAB
This IS200VAICH1DAB printed circuit board product offering from General Electric was originally designed and manufactured specifically for placement in the Mark VI Turbine Control System Series of General Electric products, as was explained above. The Mark VI Series containing this IS200VAICH1DAB PCB product, as it is known for short, exists specifically with a series of possible and intended product applications in the control and management systems of General Electric-compatible gas, steam, and wind turbine automated drive assemblies. This must be classified as quite the significant step up in terms of functionality upon the previous industry-standard Mark V Turbine Control System Series of almost the exact same full extended product series title, as the Mark V Series was developed to exist with a more-restricted set of possible functional applications in gas and steam turbine-based functional environments alone.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
Manufactured by General Electric as an Analog Input/Output Board, the IS200VAICH1DAB model is used in the Mark V system in either TMR or simplex applications. When used in a TMR system configuration, the input signals on the attached terminal boards, TBAIH1C or STAI board, will be fanned out to three VME racks, T, R, and S, each containing a VAIC board. The output signals on the VAIC board will be driven with a proprietary circuit creating a desirable current using all of the available VAIC boards. If any of the IS200VAICH1DAB models fail on the VME rack, the failed VAIC model will be removed from the output, and the remaining VAIC boards can continue to provide the correct current. When the model is used in a simplex configuration, the attached terminal boards will provide inputs to one of the VAIC models providing all current for the outputs. The original VME Rack-Mounted Analog Input/Output Board manufactured for General Electric's Mark VI Turbine Control System Series would actually have to be considered the IS200VAICH1 parent product of the same full functional description, as it exists without this IS200VAICH1DAB printed circuit board's set of three important revisions.
During the operation of the IS200VAICH1DAB model, it will control four analog outputs and accept up to twenty analog inputs. The model has an analog MUX, A/D converter, D/A converter, and signal conditioning. There are two analog inputs in the model, either ±1 mA or 4-20 mA, which are selected by jumpers on the attached terminal boards. The analog output circuits are divided; two outputs can be configured at 0-200 mA or 4-20 mA, and the others are just 4-20 mA. Both inputs and outputs on the IS200VAICH1DAB model contain high-suppression circuitry to protect against high-frequency noise and surges. This IS200VAICH1DAB device benefits from its General Electric manufacture in this instance through the presence of IS200VAICH1DAB instructional manual materials, some of which have been stored above in our handy manuals tab. One such material dictates each individual output or input in the IS200VAICH1DAB products' normal assembly as having their own correspondent factory-printed nomenclature label. Some of the individual IS200VAICH1DAB Board Analog Inputs and Outputs include its:
- Sixteen total ±10 V dc/±5 V dc/4-20 mA Analog Inputs
- Four total 4-20 mA/± 1 mA Analog Inputs
- Two total 0-20/0-200 mA Analog Outputs
- Two total 0-20 mA Analog Outputs
