About the IS200VTURH2B
The IS200VTURH2B is a PCB component manufactured by GE for the Mark VI system. The Mark VI is a steam/gas turbine management system created and released by General Electric as part of their ‘Speedtronic’ line. This was one of the last Speedtronic systems released by GE, and one of the most technologically advanced. The Mark VI includes fully programmable software maintenance tools available in the systems HMI (human-machine interface.) The Mark VI Turbine Control System Series encapsulating this IS200VTURH2B device, as it is known in full, exists with a specific series of possible functional applications in the management and control systems of General Electric-compatible gas, steam, and wind turbine automated drive assemblies. This must be determined to exist as quite the massive functional upgrade upon the previous industry-standard Mark V Turbine Control System Series of more or less the exact same full extended series title, given the fact that the Mark VI Series introduced the alternative energy-based wind turbine possible application onto the gas and steam turbine possible environments established through the Mark V. This IS200VTURH2B device's Mark VI Series is additionally valued given its status as one of the final-released Speedtronic control system technology-powered General Electric Mark product series iterations.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
As a Primary Turbine Protection board, the IS200VTURH2B has multiple functions, including monitoring shaft and voltage current, and (in gas turbine applications) monitoring Geiger-Mueller flame detectors. The board monitors four-speed inputs from passive magnetic sensors to maintain these functions. Flame detectors help determine if carbon buildup or other contaminants are reducing light detection within the system. This PCB can also issue a trip command in turbines that do not have a mechanical overspeed bolt The IS200VTURH2B is built with a double-wide faceplate. This faceplate has few components, but it does have three LED indicators and cable connectors. The faceplate connects to the front board edge via three screws. The IS200VTURH2B has two backplane connectors plus other connectors. It has thirteen transistors, inductor coils, as well as resistors and capacitors on both the front and back of the board. The board includes an auxiliary board attached via four standoffs that has an additional backplane. The board has integrated circuits, including SRAM and RAM chips, oscillating chips, and FPGAs.
More information on the IS200VTURH2B board can be found in several GE publications, including Mark VI Control System Guides GER-4193A and GEH-6421. Unfortunately, many of these originally-pertinent instructional manual materials have been removed from their original online sources, given the fact that the Mark VI Series has faced a series of repetitive copyright infringements in the years beyond its original release. While this may be the case, this IS200VTURH2B product still very much does benefit from its original General Electric design and manufacture in another way, as it has been attributed the IS200VTURH2B functional product number that indirectly asserts a number of relevant IS200VTURH2B Board details through a series of consecutive functional naming elements. For example, this IS200VTURH2B product number in specific is started off through an inclusion of the dual-functional IS200 series tag indirectly asserting this IS200VTURH2B device's normal Mark VI Series assembly on top of its domestic original location of GE manufacture. Some of the other fascinating IS200VTURH2B board qualities revealed through this medium include its:
- VTUR functional product acronym
- Group 2 Mark VI Series grouping
- Conformal PCB coating style
- B-rated functional product revision
