Product Description
The IS200VCMIH2BBB is part of the Mark VI control system from GE. This is typically used for industrial gas or steam turbine systems. The Mark VI is one of several Speedtronic systems released by GE over the last decades.
The IS200VCMIH2BBB is part of the data transmission system within the Mark VI system. The circuit board makes it possible for different modules to communicate with each other internally, including the main processor card, the control modules, the protection modules, and the interface modules.
Replacing the VCMI card is a multi-step process:
-
Power down the rack and unplug the IONet connector from the board front. The network can be run through the t-fitting.
-
Loosen top and bottom screws on the VCMI board
-
Use the installed ejector tabs located on the faceplate to disengage the board from the backplane
-
Remove the old board
-
Install the new board in the same location.
-
Faceplate tabs can be used to click new VCMI board into place
-
Tighten top and bottom screws in order to secure the newly installed board into the VME rack
-
Reenergize the VME rack
-
Locate the VCMI in Toolbox. This is usually under Mark VI I/O. Right-click.
-
Click download from the shortcut menu. Topology should download into the new board.
-
Cycle power to the rack to establish communications.
The IS200VCMIH2BBB is a double-sided card that has many components mounted to both surfaces. This includes over 40 integrated circuits, over 400 resistors, and over 200 capacitors. The board has three IONet connectors mounted in its front faceplate as well as a male serial port. Other connectors are available on the board’s surface including two backplane connectors.
