Product Description

The IS200ERBPG1A is a component manufactured by GE for the Mark VI system.  Part of the Speedtronic series, the Mark VI was released in the 1990s to manage gas and steam turbine systems.  It is built around a Central Control Module (13- or 21- slot VME card rack,) that connects to termination boards with box-type or barrier terminal blocks.  Users may access data pulled from the control module through an interconnected operator interface (HMI) that is loaded with integrated software designed for turbine management, like GE’s CIMPLICITY graphics platform.

The IS200ERBPG1A is an Exciter Regulator Backplane (ERBP.)  It is typically used within GE’s EX2100 Control System, which is a third-generation digital excitation system.  This system has been designed to integrate with the Mark VI and its HMI without issues. It can also integrate with stand-alone retrofit applications using serial or Ethernet Modbus communication protocols.  

The IS200ERBPG1A is designed with a large exterior rectangular casing.  This is open on one side to allow insertion of various cards. Other areas are open or perforated to allow for airflow.  Some edges of the casing are fitted with flanges that have factory-made holes drilled through them to allow for mounting.  The module has a fan installed toward its rear surface. The ERBP provides connectivity between all of the boards mounted within it.  These include boards such as IGBT, ERDD, EPSM, ERIO, DSPX, and ACLA. For a complete list of boards mounted within the unit as well as those connected via cable connectors, please reference GE publication GEI-100488a.   More information on each individual board is also available.
