Product Description
Part of General Electrics' Mark VI series of printed circuit board components, the IS200ACLAH1A is an advanced engineering building module with an artwork revision version of "A." The Mark VI series has become renowned for its dependability in recent years, as the trusted manufacturer General Electric has mass-produced products in this line for a number of decades. This specific advanced engineering building module, while known in some circles by the full part number name, is usually abbreviated and known by its functional industry acronym; ACLA.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
Before making a purchase of any circuit board for your industrial automation needs, it remains very important to check if your desired part is compatible with its congruent automated drive, or with any machine part for that matter. With this in mind, the IS200ACLAH1A has a number of specifications necessary to highlight. For starters, this ACLA model is classified as an SBS embedded computer style of circuit board. This designation asserts that this module will contain all necessary machine processing systems in a singular computer embedded into the circuit board. The acronym SBS signifies this as well; representing a "Single Board System".
Broadly, this PCB aids in outer loop functions and network communications for the control system. The IS200ACLAH1A is also responsible for enabling ethernet communcations as needed for the LCI, Turbine Control, and associated Human Machine Interface (HMI). Among other control functions within the IS200ACLAH1A capacity, are the following:
- Power Factor Regulation/VAR
- PSS or Power System Stabilizer
- Under Excitation Limit Control (UEL)
- Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR)
The ACLA Board is a double-slot module and is located next to the DSPX module in the rack. If Qty 2 ACLA Cards exist in the same system, there is a built in redundancy in control that is gained by this structure. The IS200ACLAH1A will generally be seen as the part number printed on the PCB while often there will be another number present (IS215ACLAH1A) that refers to the totality of the module with faceplate and attached firmware.
