About the IS200SPROS1A
As mentioned above, the IS200SPROS1A Terminal Board was originally designed for production by General Electric, as a member of their Mark VIe Series. This IS200SPROS1A model printed circuit board or PCB for short is actually more specifically definable as a modified version of a pre-existing Mark VIe Series component product; altering the IS200SPROS1 parent printed circuit board through its inclusion of a single functional product revision rated at an A grade. Given this IS200SPROS1A PCB's attribution to the specialized Mark VIe Series; it was likely manufactured by one of General Electrics' subsidiary manufacturers, which include GE Energy, GE Industrial Systems, and more.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
Before examining the individual hardware components that make up the greater assembly of this IS200SPROS1A model Mark VIe Series Terminal Board, it is important to first gain some context with an evaluation of this SPRO-abbreviated printed circuit boards' intended function. Based on originally-developed instructional manual documentation detailing the IS200SPROS1A product; this PCB's primary intended function can be defined in its backup or emergency Turbine Protection application.
With the intended function of the IS200SPROS1A board in mind, it becomes possible to contextualize some of its many intentional hardware selections. A crucial element to this IS200SPROS1A circuit board's emergency turbine protection is inputs and outputs, which quite obviously allow it to act as a terminal board. This IS200SPROS1A PCB makes use of seven total contact inputs and three speed inputs. In terms of this IS200SPROS1A Mark VIe Series printed circuit board's outputs, the SPRO offers three total monitored trip relay output options. All of these inputs and outputs interface with the base circuit board of the IS200SPROS1A PCB through use of its removable, barrier-type terminal blocks. The barrier-type terminal blocks specific to this IS200SPROS1A Terminal Board were discovered upon interpretation of the S1 series grouping tag present in the IS200SPROS1A functional product number.
The IS200SPROS1A functional product number yields an elevated amount of product-specific identificatory information beyond just this model's barrier-type terminal blocks, beginning with its IS200 series tag. This IS200 portion has dual naming conventions for the IS200SPROS1A circuit board; displaying its status as a normal-assembly printed circuit board manufactured in the Salem, Virginia factory location of GE Energy and GE Industrial Systems. Moving past the IS200 Series tag in the IS200SPROS1A product number, the knowledgeable Mark VIe product researcher will notice an inclusion of the SPRO functional acronym; which was developed with the intention as existing as a convenient promotional and conversational shorthand for the lengthy IS200SPROS1A product number. This SPRO acronym itself is followed in the IS200SPROS1A product number, by an inclusion of aforementioned S1 series grouping tag, which also reveals this product's special style of printed circuit board coating. The final alphanumeric digit in the IS200SPROS1A product number relates its singular, A-rated functional revision.
