About the IS200VCMIH1BCB
This IS200VCMIH1BCB I/O Communication Card printed circuit board product offering from General Electric was originally designed and manufactured specifically for placement in the Mark VI Turbine Control System Series, as was specified above in the brief IS200VCMIH1BCB I/O Communication Card functional product description paragraph provided for your convenience of research. The Mark VI Series that this IS200VCMIH1BCB I/O Communication Card device belongs to is a rather self-described GE Mark product series iteration, given its status as a product series with a restricted functional application range in the control systems and management systems of GE-compatible gas, steam, and wind turbine automated assemblies. This has to be considered a massive upgrade upon the the Mark V Turbine Control System Series of the same full extended series name that was introduced to the automated industrial community just before, as the Mark V Series actually had a slightly more-restricted functional application range in gas and steam settings alone..
Hardware Tips and Specifications
Described as a Bus Master Controller the IS200VCMIH1BCB model is used for communications between I/O boards and the primary controller. The VCMI model was designed with the Texas Instruments TMS320C32 DSP (Digital Signal Processor). The primary hardware features of the VCMI Controller are a single parallel port, a processor watchdog timer, a power system monitoring function, and more. More hardware features can be found on page thirteen in chapter nine of the GEH-6421C Volume II Mark VI System Guide. The main location of the IS200VCMIH1BCB model is in the first slot of the VME rack, whether the VME rack is a thirteen or twenty-one-slot rack. The VCMI card is primarily used for the following interior communications such as the primary processor card, I/O in back <P> Protection Modules, I/O cards that are within the same card rack as the VCMI card, I/O in other Control Modules used in TMR control configurations, and I/O cards that can be contained in expansion I/O racks known as Interface Modules. Please note that the primary processor card of the module will implement the majority of the application software at a rate of ten, twenty, or forty milliseconds which depends on the application requirements.
Depending on the chosen system in which the IS200VCMIH1BCB model is being used in the input data collection differs between the TMR and Simplex systems. When the VCMI card is being used in a Simplex system, the VCMI card will collect data from the other I/O boards and will transfer the collected input data to the control module over the IONet. To find out about how the input data collection is used in a TMR System refer to page fourteen in chapter nine of the GEH-6421C System Guide. This IS200VCMIH1BCB I/O Communication Card or printed circuit board's base metallic installation faceplate is indicative of this IS200VCMIH1BCB I/O Communication Card device's placement in the larger VME Rack Installation Assembly; one of the most commonly-seen Mark VI Series installation strategies. This metallic faceplate is adorned with a series of embedded LED lights, which serive to expose a series of relevant IS200VCMIH1BCB I/O Communication Card diagnostic statuses. Each one of of these stated indicators is accompanied by their own factory-printed nomenclature label for identification purposes, as detailed in the attached IS200VCMIH1BCB I/O Communication Card instructional manual in a diagram form once more. Some of this IS200VCMIH1BCB I/O Communication product's LED indicators include its:
- Green RUN LED
- Red FAIL LED
- Yellow STATUS LED
