Product Description
This IS200SHRAS2A printed circuit board was originally mass-produced by GE Energy, for placement in the Mark VIe Series, as mentioned above. With this being true, the IS200SHRAS2A printed circuit board or PCB for short is also considered a General Electric product, given GE Energy's status as a subsidiary manufacturer of the greater automated industrial products retailer. This IS200SHRAS2A PCB is better-definable by its functional description as a HART Analog Input/Output Board, as it is referred to in original instructional manual materials surrounding the product. The IS200SHRAS2A Analog Input/Output Board exists as an altered version of a previously-developed Mark VIe Series product offering; changing the IS200SHRAS2A parent Analog I/O Board through the inclusion of its sole, A-rated functional product revision.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
The IS200SHRAS2A Analog Input/Output Board, like any Mark VIe Series I/O Board, is best-examined when the functionality of the product is considered. This IS200SHRAS2A board's intended functionality is explained in great detail in its corresponding instructional manual. This IS200SHRAS2A PCB is an Analog I/O board that accepts ten total analog inputs and two analog outputs, for interfacing with PHRA or YHRA packs. This IS200SHRAS2A printed circuit board is specified as HART enabled as it crucially allows for the passing of HART or Highway Addressable Transducer messages to correspondent HART enabled field devices.
Now that some of the intended functionality of this IS200SHRAS2A Analog Input/Output Board has been explained, along with the presence of the HART acronym; it is possible to contextualize some of the broad hardware choices made by this SHRA-abbreviated Mark VIe Series module. To begin, one of the more crucial components in this PCB's assembly is its right angle header. Installed for convenient Input/Output terminal connectivity; this right-angle header is able to accept quite the wide range of standard, industry-accepted pluggable terminal blocks, and possesses 48 total terminals. Shield termination would be provided for any pluggable terminal block adopted into the IS200SHRAS2A board's assembly, although Euro-type high-density terminal blocks are usually used. In terms of installation, this IS200SHRAS2A Analog I/O Board comes equipped with a standard plastic holder which is important for its intended installation upon the DIN-rail mounting system. This plastic holder does not mount directly onto the DIN-rail, however, as a sheet metal carrier is required for proper installation.
This IS200SHRAS2A I/O board is a highly-customizable model of Mark VIe printed circuit board, given the presence of manually-moveable hardware jumpers in its assembly. These jumpers, which exist in a quantity of 20 in total, select a number of important specifications for this SHRA PCB, including its current or voltage input type, return connection type, and 1 mA or 20 mA current input.
All of the aforementioned IS200SHRAS2A hardware components should be well-protected by this Analog I/O Board's special style of printed circuit board coating, which was discovered upon an analysis of the IS200SHRAS2A functional product number. This functional number contains a litany of other important informational nuggets, including this PCB's normal assembly version, domestic manufacture location, SHRA functional acronym, group 2 Mark VIe Series grouping, and sole A-rated functional product revision.
