IS200VTURH2BAC|VME turbo card
IS200VTURH2B is a PCB component manufactured by GE for the Mark VI system. Mark VI is a steam/gas turbine management system created and released by General Electric as part of its “Speedtronic” family. It was one of the last Speedtronic systems to be released by GE, and one of the most technologically advanced. Mark VI includes fully programmable software maintenance tools provided in the system HMI (Human Machine Interface). The Mark VI family of turbine control systems that encapsulate this IS200VTURH2B unit is known to have a specific range of possible functional applications in GE compatible systems for the management and control of automatic drive components for gas, steam and wind turbines. Given that the Mark VI series will likely apply alternative energy based wind turbines to the gas turbine and steam turbine possible environments built through the Mark V, this must be identified as a large-scale functional upgrade of the previous industry standard Mark V turbine control system family, more or less with the same full extended series name. The Mark VI series of this IS200VTURH2B device is one of the final released iterations of the GE Mark product family powered by Speedtronic control system technology and therefore receives additional attention.
Hardware tips and specifications
As a main turbine protection board, the IS200VTURH2B has a variety of functions, including monitoring the shaft and voltage and current, as well as (in gas turbine applications) monitoring the Geiger-Mueller flame detector. The board monitors 4-speed inputs from passive magnetic sensors to maintain these functions. Flame detectors help determine if carbon deposits or other contaminants are reducing light detection within the system. The PCB can also issue trip commands in turbines without mechanical overspeed bolts. The IS200VTURH2B is made of double-wide panels. This panel has very few components, but it does have three LED indicators and cable connectors. The panel is attached to the edge of the front panel by three screws. The IS200VTURH2B has two backplane connectors and other connectors. It has 13 transistors, inductors, resistors and capacitors on both the front and back of the board. The board consists of an auxiliary board connected by four brackets, which have an additional back plate. The board has integrated circuits, including SRAM and RAM chips, oscillating chips, and FPGas.
For more information about the IS200VTURH2B board, please refer to several GE publications, including the Mark VI Control System Guide GER-4193A and GEH-6421. Unfortunately, given that the Mark VI series faced a series of repeated copyright infringements in the years following its initial release, many of these originally relevant guidebook materials have been removed from their original online resources. While that may be the case, this IS200VTURH2B product still benefits greatly from its original General Electric design and manufacture in another way, as it is given the IS200VTURH2B functional product number, Many of the relevant IS200VTURH2B Board details are indirectly asserted through a series of successive functional naming elements. For example, this IS200VTURH2B model specifically begins by including a dual-function IS200 Series label, indirectly declaring that the IS200VTURH2B device is a normal Mark VI series component above its original manufacturing location in the country.
