PRODUCT INFORMATION
Product Overview
The General Electric IS200VAICH1D is a VME Analog Input Card designed for Mark VI turbine control systems. This single-width circuit board functions as an I/O processor within GE Speedtronic control systems. It works in conjunction with two TBAI terminal boards to process analog inputs. The card supports turbine management in gas, steam, and wind turbine drive assemblies. It installs in either simplex or Triple Modular Redundant system architectures.
The board features an onboard high-speed processor that executes digital filtering functions. It operates using a thirty-two bit floating-point numerical format. An onboard library stores sensor linearization tables for resistance temperature detectors and thermocouples. Engineers can update software configurations while the board remains actively operating. Two backplane connectors on the rear edge interface directly with the VME chassis.
