GE IS200CSLAH1APR1 CSLA Copper Module

الوصف

The GE IS200CSLAH1APR1 is a specialized CSLA Copper Module (Compact PCI High-speed Serial Link Expansion Board) manufactured by General Electric (GE) for the Mark VI Speedtronic Turbine Control System and the related EX2100e Excitation Control System series.¹

⚙️ Core Function and Technology

The board’s primary function is to provide high-speed communication and expansion capability within the industrial control rack.²

• High-Speed Serial Link (CSLA): The module facilitates high-speed serial data communication, allowing various components, such as the main processor and other control cards, to rapidly exchange information.³
• Compact PCI: It is designed to fit into the CompactPCI backplane architecture used in the VME racks of the Mark VI system.
• IONet Communication: It uses the IONet, GE’s industrial network protocol, to communicate with the main control module.⁴ This allows it to access diagnostic data between the Backup Protection Module and the Control Module.⁵
• Expansion: It acts as an Expander Card, increasing the capacity and flexibility of the control system’s communication structure.⁶

The “Copper Module” Designation

The “Copper Module” designation stems from its unique copper insulation features visible on its female connection ports, a robust design choice intended to enhance signal integrity and shielding in the electrically noisy industrial environment.⁷

📋 Technical Details

This board is essential for maintaining the high-speed data flow and deterministic control required for reliable turbine and exciter control.
