The GE IS200PMCIH1A IS200PMCIH1AAA PC interface board connects Mark VI systems to external computers. This board bridges the turbine controller with PC-based diagnostic and monitoring tools. You will find this interface board in Speedtronic Mark VI control cabinets. Its PCI-compatible design allows direct connection to standard computer systems.
Interface Architecture
This PC interface board uses a 32-bit PCI bus for high-speed data transfer. Consequently, it moves large amounts of diagnostic data without bottlenecks. The GE IS200PMCIH1A IS200PMCIH1AAA includes onboard memory for data buffering. Moreover, optical isolation protects the host computer from field wiring faults. You can connect this board to any standard PCI slot.

High-Speed Data Transfer and Isolation
The unit includes a galvanic isolation barrier between field and host sides. Therefore, it protects the PC from electrical noise and surges. This board replaces the IS200PMCIH1AAA version without any driver changes. Simply remove the old board and install this one. GE designed this interface board for standard PC integration. Hence, it fits into any desktop computer with a PCI slot.
Six PCB layers separate high-speed PCI traces from isolation circuitry. Two connectors handle all bus and field I/O signals. The GE IS200PMCIH1A IS200PMCIH1AAA holds 16 MB of onboard memory for data buffering. Accordingly, it prevents data loss during peak communication bursts. Three status LEDs show power, link, and activity conditions clearly.
Software and Installation Guide
The board includes software drivers for Windows and Linux systems. You can access turbine data through standard API calls. The GE IS200PMCIH1A IS200PMCIH1AAA works with all GE Mark VI control systems. Always power down the PC before inserting or removing this board. Proper ESD precautions prevent damage to sensitive PCI components.
The field side requires a separate 24V DC power supply. Do not rely on PCI bus power for field circuits. The GE IS200PMCIH1A IS200PMCIH1AAA delivers reliable PC interface for turbine diagnostics. Installation requires only a screwdriver for field wiring connections. This board operates in non-condensing environments with adequate airflow.
