Product Description
The IS200TBAIS1C printed circuit board was manufactured by General Electric for the Mark VIeS Series of turbine control systems and turbine control system products. This IS200TBAIS1C printed circuit board or PCB for short was actually originally mass-produced by GE Energy, the alternative energy-geared subsidiary manufacturer that exists under the larger General Electric automated industrial production umbrella. This IS200TBAIS1C PCB is better-definable by its instructional manual-specified functional product description as an Analog Input/Output Terminal Board. This IS200TBAIS1C Analog Input/Output Terminal Board is actually a modified version of a previously-developed Mark VIeS turbine control system Series product; modifying the IS200TBAIS1 parent board through its adoption of a sole, C-rated functional product revision.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
This IS200TBAIS1C Analog Input/Output Terminal board features a number of unique and interesting hardware features in its overall functional assembly, which all contribute to its intended functionality within the Mark VIeS Series assembly. This IS200TBAIS1C board's primary functionality exists in its providing of ten unique analog inputs and two analog outputs to the greater Mark VIeS controller assembly, with all input signals being configurable by this IS200TBAIS1C Analog I/O Terminal Board as either voltage or current signals. The IS200TBAIS1C board is used in congruence with one to three compatible YAIC Input/Output packs that were developed for use in the same Mark VIeS turbine control system Series. Now that some of the functionality of this IS200TBAIS1C Analog I/O Terminal Board has been discovered, it is possible to contextualize fully its otherwise-confusing set of hardware component inclusions, beginning with its various input and output types accepted, which include:
- Two-wire, three-wire, and four-wire transmitter Analog Inputs
- externally powered transmitter Analog Inputs
- ±5 V, ±10 V dc Voltage Analog Inputs
- 0-20 mA Analog Outputs
While the various input and output types adopted for use by the IS200TBAIS1C Analog Input/Output Terminal Board are explained in great detail in original product-centric instructional manual materials, not much else about the IS200TBAIS1C PCB is offered. With this being true, a breakdown of the functional IS200TBAIS1C product number is essential, beginning with its IS200 series tag. The IS200 Series tag that starts off this IS200TBAIS1C functional product number has dual naming responsibilities for this Analog Input/Output Terminal Board; detailing it as a normal assembly-model Mark VIeS series PCB that was manufactured domestically in GE Energy's Salem, Virginia factory plant location. The IS200 series tag is followed in the IS200TBAIS1C functional product number by the TBAI functional acronym; created as a convenient conversational or promotional shorthand alternative to the lengthy IS200TBAIS1C product number. Other information attainable by breaking down this IS200TBAIS1C functional product number includes this GE printed circuit board's S-rated special PCB coating style, its group one Mark VIeS Series grouping, and its singular, C-rated functional revision.
