GE IS200BCAAH1ABA Controller module

About the IS200BCAAH1ABA

The IS200BCAAH1ABA was produced for use in the Mark VIe Series of turbine control systems and turbine control system products. The IS200BCAAH1ABA is actually a modified version of a pre existing Mark VIe Turbine Control System Series product; changing the IS200BCAAH1 parent PCB through its inclusion of three significant product revisions, rated at A, B and A respectively. This board is definable by its functional description as a Current Acquisition Card. While considered a General Electric printed circuit board; this IS200BCAAH1ABA module was actually manufactured by GE Industrial Systems; a subsidiary manufacturing company that exists under the greater General Electric automated industrial production umbrella.

Hardware Tips and Specifications

The Mark VIe Turbine Control System Series is a relatively new series released by GE Industrial Systems. 

In visual inspection, a primarily noticeable hardware trait of this Current Acquisition Base Card A has to be its set of two large DC/DC converter circuits, which are attached to the right-hand side of the board. Two female ports are available on the IS200BCAAH1ABA board, jutting out on the bottom of this module assembly. This three-times-revised Mark VIe Series product offering seems to make use of quite a high number of standard voltage-regulating and voltage-storing minuscule hardware components, including a large amount of transistors, resistors, and capacitors. As with many Mark VIe Series printed circuit boards, this IS200BCAAH1ABA PCB also intuitively labels the majority of its hardware components with industry-standard reference designators, which include:

• The IS200BCAAH1ABA product number
• The P15PA N15PA label
• Labels for each individual transistor, capacitor, and resistor
• PCOM and P28 labels
• Individual labels printed on each DC/DC converter

While a visual inspection of the IS200BCAAH1ABA board is certainly helpful, more general hardware and series alignment information can be produced upon a breakdown of the IS200BCAAH1ABA product number; which begins with the IS200 series tag outlining this product’s normal assembly version and domestic manufacture. Other information revealed through a IS200BCAAH1ABA number breakdown includes:

• its BCAA functional acronym
• conformal PCB coating
• group 1 Mark VIe Series grouping
• three significant product revisions
