Product Description
This IS200VAICH1BBB General Electric printed circuit board was specifically mass-produced for the Mark VI Speedtronic Series of turbine control systems and turbine control system component products. To be more specific, this IS200VAICH1BBB board was created in a GE Industrial Systems factory plant; one of the subsidiary manufacturers existing under the giant General Electric manufacturing umbrella. This printed circuit board or PCB for short is actually a revised version of a preexisting General Electric product; the IS200VAICH1 circuit board. This IS200VAICH1BBB board modifies its parent IS200VAICH1 product through an inclusion of three total significant product revisions; a primary functional revision, a secondary functional revision, and a singular configuratory artwork revision all rated at B grades. This PCB is more explicitly definable by its manual-introduced functional product description as a VME Analog Input Card, which happens to align exactly with its VAIC functional acronym.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
This IS200VAICH1BBB VME Analog Input Card, like any modern GE Industrial Systems printed circuit board, features its own set of hardware components that all contribute to its greater intended functionality. With this in mind, it is important to define this product offering's intended functionality in order to contextualize various hardware component placements. The primary intent of this IS200VAICH1BBB board's inclusion within its greater Mark VI Speedtronic series drive assembly is to accept crucial I/O connections to 20 total analog inputs and to control for four viable analog outputs, with another series of additional inputs and outputs available on its attached TBAI Terminal Boards. A secondary focus of this VAIC-abbreviated circuit board is to provide noise and voltage-suppression circuit capabilities for those aforementioned I/Os.
Now that some of the functionality of this IS200VAICH1BBB board has been described, it is possible to look at its various hardware component elements. This VME Analog Input Card features a central current regulator/power supply that interfaces directly with the corresponding TBAI terminal board through the use of the J3/4 connector available at the bottom of this assembly's pertinent VME rack. Two other visible components afforded to this VAIC VME Analog Input Card are its two converters; an A/D converter and a D/A converter. For diagnostic purposes, this IS200VAICH1BBB PCB incorporates a series of three total LED indicators onto its front faceplate, labeled with the standard printed nomenclatures of RUN, FAIL, and STAT. This IS200VAICH1BBB board requires two total terminal boards for monitoring purposes of twenty applicable inputs, although this PCB does not have any sort of special assembly version, as indicated by its regular IS200 series identification tag. All of the hardware components in this module's assembly should exist protected beneath a layer of conformal-style PCB coating. The information contained on this IS200VAICH1BBB product page is actually reminiscent of the unrevised IS200VAICH1 parent product that is detailed in pertinent Mark VI Speedtronic manual materials; so dimensions and performance specifications of this actual IS200VAICH1BBB product may appear different.
