About the IS200VPWRH1AFB
The Printed Circuit Board IS200VPWRH1AFB module is made up of two IS200VPWRH1A boards. During operation, this model will typically be used with gas or steam turbine prime movers in a triple modular redundant architecture. When needing to communicate with other modules communication occurs with an IONet function. Please note that when this module is being used in a triple modular redundant system a protection backup module will likely be used to ensure that the board does not experience any faults that could hinder the performance of the module.
There are several LEDs on the front faceplate of this module which are labeled as status, run and fail. These aforementioned LEDs are used to indicate how the board is performing. Other than the LEDs the main components of the front faceplate of the IS200VPWRH1AFB board consist of four sub-D pin connectors, an Ethernet port, a three-pin female plug connector, and even more.
When this model was designed it was designed as a sub-assembly or daughter board. When operating as a daughter board it will connect to the IS215VPROH215 board.
As mentioned above the IONet function is one communication method. The other communication method that can be used is the Unit Data Highway. The Unit Data Highway or more commonly known as UDH, the UDH feature allows for the VPWR module to communicate with more than just models in the Mark VI System but with Historian Software, HMIs, Static Starters, and even more. For all of the potential communications refer to the GER-4193A Speedtronic Mark VI Turbine Control System Guide.
