Product Description
The IS200BICLH1A is an IGBT Drive/Source Bridge Interface Board (BICL) created by GE for the Innovation Series.
The purpose of the IS200BICLH1A is to play a go-between an Innovation Series Drive and the Bridge Personality Interface Boards (BPIA, BPIB, or SCNV), being a primary interface between them. This board has the ability to monitor ambient and bridge temperatures. It has an interface with a PWM speed control and a system fault display. This board has a 1024-bit serial memory that is usually equipped with information about the board’s revision and identification.
The IS200BICLH1A has a nearly blank faceplate with a label that has “Install in Slot 5 Only” written on it. There are two brackets on the faceplate that can help install and remove the card from a VME type rack. Next to the brackets are two screws that help to further secure the card to the rack. There are many internal components on the actual PCB though. There are 73 resistors, 31 capacitors, 3 diodes, 15 integrated circuits, 4 relays, a metal oxide varistor, and 3 transistors. On the right edge of the board are two P1 and P2 pin connectors that connect the IS200BICLH1A to a card rack assembly.
For more information about the IS200BICLH1A, please consult the datasheet GEI-100264. It is important to slide this board into the correct slot because if it is inserted into a different slot, the wrong connection can damage the board. Anti-static procedures should be followed while handling or trying to install this board.
