About the IS200VCMIH2

The IS200VCMIH2 is a PCB component made by GE for their Mark VI system.  The MKVI is one of several systems released by GE under the “Speedtronic” name to manage their heavy-duty gas and steam turbines.  The Speedtronic line began with the release of the Mark I in the 1960s and continued through the late 1990s and 2000s with the Mark VI and Mark VIe.  The Mark VI is a “whole system” solution for turbine management that is designed around a central Control Module. This module can be designed as either a Simplex or Triple Redundant unit depending on the needs and size of the turbine.  

The IS200VCMIH2 allows for internal communications of I/O cards in the central Control Module.  It is mounted in slot one of the Control Module.

The IS200VCMIH2 includes a front faceplate. This faceplate includes the board number and the GE logo. It is also full of components, including three IONet connectors, a 9-pin serial port, a reset switch, and LED indicators placed on the board in sets of three, eight, six, and three.

The IS200VCMIH2 has three transformers.  The board has many integrated circuits, including field programmable gate arrays.  The board has multiple connectors, including a vertical pin connector, a ribbon connector (vertical male pins,) and several conductive trace connectors.   Two backplane connectors are located side-by-side on the rear edge of the board. It has over four hundred resistors, many capacitors and diodes, and several transistors.   It is important to note the board has components on both the front and back surfaces.
