About the IS200VRTDH1C
The IS200VRTDH1C is a board component designed and manufactured by GE for the Mark VI turbine system. The Mark VI is a gas and steam turbine management system that was developed and released by General Electric as part of the Speedtronic line that had been used for turbine management for over three decades at the time of the Mark VI's release. The Mark VI is designed for operation within an air-conditioned equipment room that has convection cooling. It has an operating temperature of 0 to +45 degrees Celsius and a storage temperature of -40 to +70 degrees Celsius. The Mark VI Turbine Control System Series represents a massive upgrade upon the Mark V Turbine Control System Series of the same name that came before, as this later General Electric Mark Series iteration was expanded to include possible functional applications in the alternative energy-based control and management systems of wind turbine automated drive assemblies. This IS200VRTDH1C product's greater Mark VI Series is additionally seen as an attractive General Electric Mark Series iteration as it was one of the final-developed Mark product series to take advantage of the company's long-heralded Speedtronic control system technology first seen with the rollout of the primary Mark I Series in the mid to later 1960s.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
The IS200VRTDH1C is built with a narrow front faceplate that fits into a VME I/O rack. Interestingly enough, this IS200VRTDH1C printed circuit board product offering is not considered the originally-developed device of its specific Mark VI Turbine Control System Series functionality; that would have to be considered the IS200VRTDH1 parent VME RTD Card notably not making use of this IS200VRTDH1C device's sole C-rated functional product revision. Three screw connections marry the faceplate to the PCB. The faceplate includes three LED indicators that include a “RUN,” a “FAIL,” and a “STATUS” indicator. The status indicator glows orange if a diagnostic alarm condition exists. These conditions might include:
- Exceeding hardware limit checks based on preset high and low levels set near the ends of the operating range of the RTDs.
- Exceeding system limit checks based on configurable highs and lows.
- A mismatch of a connector ID and a terminal board ID, which will create a hardware incompatibility fault
- A resistance fault, if the resistance of an RTD is checked and compared with the correct value and found to be high or low.
The IS200VRTDH1C is built with backplane connectors. It has hundreds of capacitors and resistors of various types. The board has several hundred integrated circuits. This includes oscillating chips and FPGAs. The board has factory drilled holes in several locations and carries codes such as 6BA01, 94V-0, PC-40803, and the GE logo. Installation procedures and other information like diagnostics and board specifications for the IS200VRTDH1C may be found within GE publication GEH-6421. Given this specific IS200VRTDH1C printed circuit board's General Electric Mark VI Legacy Series attribution, it is not considered to exist online with any great amount of originally-printed instructional manual materials. With this being the case, the IS200VRTDH1C functional product number itself stands to exist as a fine supplemental source of IS200VRTDH1C Board hardware component and component specification information; as it codes for various IS200VRTDH1C Board details through a series of consecutive functional naming elements. For starters, the IS200VRTDH1C functional product number begins with the dual-functional IS200 series tag delegating this IS200VRTDH1C PCB's normal Mark VI Series assembly on top of its more standardized domestic original General Electric manufacture location. Some of the other relevant hardware specifications in the IS200VRTDH1C functional product number include this IS200VRTDH1C product's VRTD functional product abbreviation, its conformal PCB coating style, its group one Mark VI Series product grouping, and finally its sole C-rated functional product revision.
