GE IS200BPVAG1B Backplane Card

الوصف

The GE IS200BPVAG1B is a Backplane Assembly (ASM) Board specifically designed for the GE Speedtronic Mark VI turbine control system.

It acts as the central electronic and physical backbone of a control rack, providing the necessary infrastructure for other circuit boards to operate and communicate.

⚙️ Key Functions and Features

• System Integration: It is an integral component of the Mark VI system, which is a comprehensive solution for the control, protection, and monitoring of gas and steam turbines in industrial power generation.
• Module Slots: The back half of the board contains multiple female backplane connectors (typically 21 slots for the BPV family) where the processor and various Input/Output (I/O) control modules plug in.
• Communication Bus: It routes data and signals between the plugged-in modules using the VME bus architecture, enabling communication with the main processor (which often utilizes an Intel Pentium 133 MHz microprocessor within the control system).
• I/O Interface: The front portion of the board is populated with a high number of I/O connectors (typically 39) that connect to external ribbon cables. These cables, in turn, connect to the field wiring terminal boards (like TBCI or TBCA), transferring data to and from the turbine’s sensors and actuators.
• Reliability: Backplanes are preferred over cabled systems in industrial controls due to their higher reliability and resistance to mechanical failure from flexing over time.

In a Mark VI system, this backplane is mounted within a VME card rack chassis and supports various types of I/O boards and the main processor card (like the VCMI card in slot 1, which handles internal communications and acts as the IONet bus master).
