PRODUCT INFORMATION
Product Overview
The General Electric IS200EISBH1A is a Communication Interface Module for Mark VI / Mark VIe systems. This Exciter ISBus board operates alongside C, M1, and M2 control modules. The unit occupies a single slot with a 3U form factor in the control rack. It mounts directly underneath the DSPX control module inside the rack enclosure.
The IS200EISBH1A manages cabinet fiber-optic communications across the excitation system. Six fiber-optic connectors populate the front panel to transmit and receive signals. The board transfers backplane feedback directly to the DSPX processor. It routes RS-232C communication between local tool or keypad ports and the DSPX module. The hardware also interfaces with the EGDM ground detection module.
