Product Description
This IS200CSLAH1APR1 printed circuit board was originally designed by the manufacturer GE Industrial Systems. This subsidiary manufacturing company of industrial retailer giant General Electric handles all of GE's production of the EX2100e series of Excitation Control System products that this IS200CSLAH1APR1 board belongs to. This is a revised version of the original IS200CSLAH1 parent circuit board, featuring two functional revisions and a singular special circuit board artwork revision.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
To understand the totality of the specific hardware components equipped to this IS200CSLAH1APR1 model printed circuit board, it is helpful to first achieve a complete understanding of this product's functionality. For starters, this PCB has a functional description of a Compact PCI High-speed Serial Link Expansion Board, as revealed in original GE Industrial Systems Instructional Manual materials concerning this and other EX2100e Series products. This CSLA-abbreviated PCB interfaces crucially with HSLA within the EX2100e control system's thyristor-based digital control system.
Now that the original intended functionality of this IS200CSLAH1APR1 board has been revealed, its hardware components can be contextualized. A primary noticeable hardware feature unique to this IS200CSLAH1APR1 PCB is immediately noticeable in its series of three LED indicators, which have been included on its front faceplate. The LEDs on the front plate of the board are labeled as run, status, and fail, each LED has a specific color. The run LED is green, the status LED is yellow, and the fail LED is red, and each LED glows or blinks when encountered with various different fault or diagnostic conditions. One other important feature of this IS200CSLAH1APR1 module is its copper insulation features, which, unlike most EX2100e Series products, is visible on this module's set of female connection ports. This copper insulation strategy is so important to the assembly of this IS200CSLAH1APR1 board that the CSLA PCB is oftentimes simply referred to as the "CSLA Copper Module."
Software Tips and Specifications
In terms of communication strategies, two different communication types can be used with the IS200CSLAH1APR1 model. One of them is the IONet which is used to communicate between this model and the Control Module. If you would like to make the IONet communication more deterministic asynchronous drives language can be employed by this module. The primary function of using the IONet besides communicating with the Control Module is to access diagnostic data between the Backup Protection Module and the Control Module; a tripping function can also be used with the IONet but it is not required. Before making a purchase decision for this IS200CSLAH1APR1 model PCB, it is crucial to recognize its status as a three-times-revised version of the original IS200CSLAH1 board that this individualized product page has been primarily based off of.
