GE IS200BICIH1ACA

Operation Parameters

Power Supply: 5V DC

Relays: The card includes three relays that can be used to manage control or diagnostic signals.

Indicators: A green "IMOK" LED on the faceplate indicates the operational status of the card.

Input/Output Sensitivity: Configurable for voltage (VIN) or 4-20 mA signals.

Operating Temperature Range: -15°C to +55°C.

Protection Level: includes an onboard with factory-preloaded firmware.

Product Features

Communication Interface: RS-232C Communication for Mark VI Control System. The Mark VI control can communicate with drive systems, external controllers, and personal computers.

Relay Control:Integrating three relays on the card empowers users to control peripheral systems or trigger alarms, further augmenting the turbine system's operational control.

24-point Terminal Block: The GE IS200BICIH1ACA card is equipped with a 24-point terminal block to support field wiring of input and output signals. The terminal block is designed to be field replaceable and supports the use of 2-3 mm² wire and 300 volt insulation. The terminal block provides a reliable connection for external devices and systems.

Unplug Capability:The barrier-type terminal block is designed for easy field maintenance and can be unplugged to help with installation and troubleshooting.

Compatible with Simplex and TMR Configurations: The GE IS200BICIH1ACA card is known for its support of both simplex and TMR configurations, making it suitable for various turbine control setups that demand high levels of availability and redundancy.

Backplane Integration:All these elements contribute to the functionality of a card, but the most important aspect is the backplane integration, in which the card can connect to the main interface components of a system via two connectors located on the back of the card. These connectors insert into the card slots of the backplane and provide a secure connection within the turbine control system.

Memory and Firmware with Pre-installed Firmware: GE IS200BICIH1ACA has embedded firmware that holds factory pre-installed firmware. This firmware is specific used to support the card to work in the Mark VI turbine control system. So it should not be programmed over again or taken out; if broken, the whole card must be replaced.

Installation

Mounting: The card has two connectors that slide into the card slot on the system backplane on the back of the card. This mounting will guarantee a stable connection to the control system.

Power On: The GE IS200BICIH1ACA must be connected to a 5V DC power supply.

Field Terminals: The card integrates a 24-point terminal block for field wiring to facilitate various field input/output applications.

Configuration: The jumper switches should be set to the necessary input/output (to integrate: voltage or 4-20 mA).

Application range

Plant power generation: Turbine control systems (gas and steam), which requires seamless communication of control system with outside devices.

Process control: GE IS200BICIH1ACA In industrial sectors, there is a demand for real-time monitoring and control.

Energy: Systems for generation and distribution of energy used to handle actions of turbine and generator control.

Troubleshooting

Check LED indicators: Green IMOK LED If the IMOK LED is not lit, power is either not being supplied to the card or the card is faulty. If the LED is flashing or red, there is likely a problem with the communication or internal components of the card.

Check power supply: Ensure that the 5V DC power supply is stable and connected correctly.  Any fluctuations or power outages will affect the operation of the card.

Field Wiring Inspection: Inspect the 24-point terminal block to ensure no loose or disconnected wires. Ensure that the wiring corresponds with the input/output configuration.

Check jumper settings:When you are using the device for the first time, double-check the jumper switch for the input/output (for voltage or 4-20 mA) is configured correctly.

Replace the board:If any of these major components on the card are damaged you have no choice but to replace the whole board and you cannot reprogram.
