Product Description
The IS200VAICH1CCC printed circuit board from GE Industrial Systems exists as a member of the specialized yet well-documented Mark VI Speedtronic Series of turbine control systems and turbine control system component products. This printed circuit board is considered a product of major industrial giant General Electric, as GE Industrial Systems actually exists as a subsidiary company under the far-reaching General Electric production umbrella. This printed circuit board or PCB for short is revised version of a previously-existing GE Industrial Systems PCB; the IS200VAICH1 model PCB to be exact. While designated solely as a printed circuit board is some documentation, product-centric manual materials detailing the IS200VAICH1CCC product describe it functionally as a VME Analog Input Card. This IS200VAICH1CCC modifies its IS200VAICH1 parent board through the inclusion of two significant functional revisions and a singular artwork revision, all rated at C grades.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
Before delving into some of the important hardware components necessary to this IS200VAICH1CCC VME Analog Input Card, it is important to consider the functionality of the PCB to truly contextualize its respective configuration. For starters, original instructional manual materials detailing this IS200VAICH1CCC board describe its primary functionality as being its acceptance of twenty total crucial I/O connections in the greater Mark VI Speedtronic series assembly. A secondary functional focus of this VAIC-abbreviated module is defined in original manual materials as its noise suppression and voltage suppression specs afforded to each of those twenty terminal connections necessary in its assembly.
Now that some of the basic functionality and purpose of the VAIC VME Analog Input Card has been described, it is possible to explore further some of its specific hardware component inclusions. It should come as no real surprise that this IS200VAICH1CCC PCB features two rather large terminal blocks affixed to its base circuit board. Each of these terminal blocks is attached by two screws onto the PCB assembly, and are considered pluggable for convenient and voltage-protected installation or maintenance purposes. Given the sensitivity of this board's twenty useable inputs, two terminal boards are required to be inserted into its overall assembly for input monitoring and voltage protection applications. This IS200VAICH1CCC VME Analog Input Card has an intuitive faceplate featuring a standard series of three total LED diagnostic indicators. These LEDs available to the faceplate make use of their own factory-introduced nomenclature labels; RUN, FAIL, and STAT labels existing next to their corresponding LEDs. Various other voltage-limiting hardware components are worked into the VAIC board's assembly, including resistors, capacitors, and integrated circuits. All of the hardware components on this IS200VAICH1CCC model's base circuit board should come well-protected from basic damages by a chemically-applied layer of conformal PCB protective coating. Before making a purchase decision on this IS200VAICH1CCC PCB, it is important to realize that all of the above information is based on an analysis of original-issued instructional manual materials detailing the unrevised parent IS200VAICH1 printed circuit board, which lacks this PCB's three C-rated significant revisions.
