GE IS200CABPG1A Control Assembly Backplane Board

الوصف

The GE IS200CABPG1A is a Control Assembly Backplane (CABP) Board primarily used in the GE Mark VI series of industrial Drive Control Systems (part of the Innovation subseries).¹

Unlike the VME backplanes used in the Mark VI turbine control system chassis (like the BPVG1B), the CABP board is specifically engineered to support the modules within a GE Industrial Drive, though it still belongs to the broader IS200 product line.

⚙️ Key Details and Function

The IS200CABPG1A acts as the main circuit board and backbone for the control assembly of a drive system.² Its primary functions are:

• Module Interconnection: It is a multi-layer printed wiring board that provides the necessary electrical pathways and physical slots for other printed circuit boards (PCBs) to plug into.³
  • It typically has 9 backplane connectors for control and interface modules.⁴
• External Signal Interface: It routes signals between the internal modules and the external world.⁵
  • It features 15 front connectors for various external interfaces.⁶
• Connectivity Points: It provides connection points for:
  • User control inputs/outputs (I/O).⁷
  • Front panel meters.⁸
  • Diagnostic and configuration tools.
  • A front panel keypad.
  • Four ISBus ports for communication.⁹
  • Power supply inputs.
• Power Distribution: It distributes isolated control power, often sourced from an IS200HFPA High-Frequency AC/Fan Power Supply Board (HFPA), which plugs directly into the backplane.¹⁰

Components that Connect to the IS200CABPG1A

The boards that plug into the CABP backplane are specific to the Innovation Series drive application.¹¹ Examples include:

The IS200CABPG1A is mounted within a dedicated Innovation Series board rack chassis.¹² Its design ensures non-board connectors can only be plugged in one specific way to prevent incorrect installation.¹³
