About the IS200GGXIG1A
This module can be created in Triple Redundant or Simplex form. The IS200GGXIG1A is an Expander Load Source Board. This board provides control and isolation between the high-voltage power bridge and connections to cards on the Innovation Series board rack like the (BPII) and the (BICI.) The IS200GGXIG1A converts RS422 signals to fiber-optic signals in order to gate the bridge IGCT switching devices. The IS200GGXIG1A can connect to up to twelve power devices. The IS200GGXIG1A device's originally-printed instructional manual materials delegate a number of important IS200GGXIG1A Board installation requirements and procedures that are crucial to follow given the possible presence of damaging surface voltages on this IS200GGXIG1A device's base printed circuit board. Some of these instructions include:
- Storage in anti-static bags or boxes
- Use of a wrist grounding strap when handling components
- Removal of seven mounting screws after powering off the IS200GGXIG1A device
- Matching of star washers with appropriate metal standoffs
IS200GGXIG1A I/O Offerings
The IS200GGXIG1A is built with many I/Os to connect with other boards. This includes power supply inputs for the GGXI board (J1 through J4,) power output and feedback connectors (J10 through J12,) voltage feedback (J15 and J16,) and fiber-optic connectors. The board also has connectors that are designed to communicate with specific boards. JFBK connects to the BICI board. JGATE connects to the BPII board. J5 monitors control power to the GDPA board. The board has grounding stabs (LCOM and DCOM) for quiet and noisy circuits. The IS200GGXIG1A has an isolated serial ID chip. The board also includes:
- fourteen TP test points
- nine LEDs
- various capacitors and resistors
- no adjustable hardware devices or fuses
