About the IS215VPROH2B
The IS215VPROH2B is a component made by General Electric for its Mark VI system. The Mark VI was one of the last gas and steam turbine management systems released by GE as part of the Speedtronic line, which was GE’s primary turbine management series from its inception in the late 1960s with the release of the Mark I through the 1990s with the development of the Mark VI and Mark VIe. The Mark VI is considered a “whole system solution” for turbine management and includes integrated hardware and software built to work in conjunction. This IS215VPROH2B VME Protection Assembly device's greater Mark VI Turbine Control System Series has to be considered quite the significant functional upgrade upon the previously-developed Mark V Turbine Control System Series of just about the same full extended series title, as the Mark VI Series added the more alternative energy-based wind turbine possible functional application onto the rudimentary gas and steam turbine applications seen with the Mark V Series' rollout.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
The IS215VPROH2B is an Emergency Turbine Protection card (VPRO.) This PCB, along with its associated terminal boards (TPRO/TREG,) provides a system of independent emergency overspeed protection for the Mark VI. Trip solenoids for this module, which is separate from the turbine control system, are located on the TREG board. The turbine can be tripped by either terminal board. The TREG board provides a positive connection to the solenoids and the TPRO provides the negative. BE aware the VPROH2 is a lower power board that is only able to support one TREG. If two TREG boards are necessary, please order a VPROH1 board. The IS215VPROH2B has a front faceplate. This is built with several components built into the panel, including a power plug, an Ethernet ID connector, an IONet port (Ethernet,) and a parallel port. There are five additional D-shell ports and several LED indicators located on its surface. This IS215VPROH2B VME Protection Assembly is actually not the originally-developed device of its specific GE Mark VI Turbine Control System Series functional product role; that would be the IS215VPROH2 parent VME Protection Assembly notably not utilizing this IS215VPROH2B VME Protection Assembly device's sole B-rated functional product revision.
The rear part of the IS215VPROH2B contains two boards stacked together. The top board includes a female power plug that wires into the front faceplate, two backplanes, TP test points, capacitors, integrated circuits, and a number of integrated circuits. The board also has several vertical connectors and a heat sink component that spans the entire width of the board. The bottom board shares many of these components and has several vertical pin male connectors. The boards are connected together using screw connections threaded through standoffs. This IS215VPROH2B VME Protection Assembly product's greater Mark VI Turbine Control System Series is not surrounded by very many originally-printed instructional manual materials on the internet; likely a result of the Mark VI Series' now-obsolete product series status. This IS215VPROH2B VME Protection Assembly device's Mark VI Series does benefit the IS215VPROH2B VME Protection Assembly in some way though, as it assigned it a GE functional product number that was deisgned to illustrate a number of important IS215VPROH2B VME Protection Assembly device characteristics through a series of consecutive functional naming elements. For instance, the IS215VPROH2B VME Protection Assembly functional product number begins with an instance of the dual-functional IS215 series tag delegating this IS215VPROH2B VME Protection Assembly PCB's special modular Mark VI Series assembly version as well as its domestic original manufacture location. Some of the other IS215VPROH2B VME Protection Assembly details revealed in this fashion include the:
- VPRO functional product acronym
- Group 2 Mark VI Series product grouping
- Conformal PCB coating style
- B-rated functional product revision
