I/O modules

This VME-based analog input card handles high-precision signal measurement for turbine control systems. The GE IS200VAICH1B IS200VAICH1BBB accepts up to 16 single-ended or 8 differential analog inputs. Each channel provides 16-bit resolution for accurate voltage or current readings. Therefore, operators can rely on this card for real-time process monitoring.

Technical Specifications of the VME Analog Input Card

The GE IS200VAICH1B IS200VAICH1BBB fits a standard 6U VME form factor seamlessly. Its height measures 233.4 mm, and its depth reaches 160 mm. The card weighs approximately 0.6 kg for straightforward handling. A single front panel LED indicates operational status at a glance. The rear side uses a 64-pin DIN 41612 connector for all signals and power. This design stores no batteries or large capacitors. Instead, it uses only passive filtering components for signal conditioning.

Functional Features and Installation

The GE IS200VAICH1B IS200VAICH1BBB automatically scales each input to engineering units. You can configure each channel independently for voltage or current inputs. This flexibility suits both analog sensors and transmitters. The onboard firmware also performs real-time channel scanning. Consequently, the card updates all values within 10 milliseconds.

You must install this card into any standard VME backplane chassis. The board does not include field wiring terminals directly. Instead, pair it with a compatible termination panel like the IS200TBAIH1C. Always verify backplane slot compatibility before installation.

Maintenance and System Benefits

Because the GE IS200VAICH1B IS200VAICH1BBB stores no onboard energy, it supports safe hot-swapping. Technicians can replace the card without powering down the entire rack. This feature minimizes system downtime significantly. The card also reports channel faults to the Mark VIe controller instantly. Therefore, operators receive immediate alerts for sensor wiring issues.
