Functional Description
IS200ERBPG1A is an EX2100 Exciter Regulator Backplane (ERBP) designed by General Electric. It is a part of the EX2100 series used in the Excitation control systems. The Exciter Regulator Backplane (ERBP) is a fundamental component in EX2100 regulator control systems, primarily facilitating connectivity and communication between the various printed circuit boards it houses. The board acts as a central connectivity hub, interconnecting all mounted printed circuit boards within the system. It establishes vital connections and pathways for communication and data exchange among these boards.
Features
- Power Support: On its front panel, the Backplane board provides power connectors for external boards it supports, enabling power supply connections for these additional components. It also offers connections for fan power output, contributing to system cooling.
- Versatile Backplane Connectors: The board is equipped with 3U or 6U Versa Module Euro (VME) 96-pin or 128-pin DIN backplane connectors, facilitating the insertion and connectivity of boards within it. Power distribution to these mounted boards is managed through these connectors.
- Board Identification System: Included within is a board identification (ID) serial bus, serving as a standardized interface for all installed boards. Each board contained within the ERBP is equipped with a board ID device programmed with essential information such as the barcode serial number, board type, and hardware revision. This data enables seamless interaction with the associated control for the specific backplane slot.
- Master Selection Jumpers: Incorporates master selection jumpers, offering the flexibility to configure the system for either simplex or redundant exciter regulator applications. These jumpers play a critical role in determining the system's operating mode as per the application's requirements. The Exciter Regulator Backplane serves as a pivotal infrastructure component, providing not only connectivity but also standardized identification and power distribution functionalities crucial for the smooth operation and management of the EX2100 regulator control systems.

The board contains the following boards inserted into its backplane connectors:
- Application Control Layer board (ACLA)
- Digital Signal Processing board (DSPX)
- Exciter Regulator Input/Output board (ERIO)
- Exciter Power Supply Module (EPSM)
- IGBT Exciter Regulator Interface and Dynamic Discharge board (ERDD)
- Exciter Regulator Options Card (EROC)
Connectors
- J1F1 - Fan 1 power
- J1F2 - Fan 2 power
- J5M1 - Exciter Regulator Redundant Relay board (ERRR) power
- J3 - Exciter Regulator Redundant Backplane (ERRB) power
- J4 - Keyboard interface
- J16 - Exciter Dc Feedback board (EDCF) power
Board Replacement Procedures
- Verify that the exciter where the ERBP is located has been de-energized.
- Before handling any electrical circuits, check to see if the power is off by opening the door of the exciter control cabinet.
- To make reconnection easier, make sure all cables are identified with the correct connector name, as indicated on the boards.
- Unplug every cable from the ERBP and the boards mounted inside of it (such as the fiber-optic cables from EISB if present, the Ethernet cable from ACLA, and all connections from ERIO and EROC).
- Take out all of the ERBP's boards. The ACLA and filler plate exit together after being linked.
- Cut off the ERBP terminals TB1 and TB2's dc link power input.
- Take away the board rack from the control module by removing the screws holding it in place. The ERBP is mounted in the board rack.
- Place the board rack which houses a new ERBP into the control module and fastens the mounting screws.
- Make sure the jumpers on the new ERBP are placed in the same location as the jumpers on the old ERBP.
- Put every board back in its proper ERBP slot and tighten the mounting screws.
- Reattach all of the cables to the proper ERBP connections and tighten them.
- Reconnect the fan power plugs and any cables to the boards mounted inside of it, including any fiber-optic cables to the EISB if one is present, the Ethernet wire to the ACLA, and all connections to the ERIO and EROC.
- Reconnect the ERBP terminals TB1 and TB2 to the dc link power input.
- Lock the door to the exciter control cabinet.
Handling Precautions
Handling electronic components, especially sensitive printed wiring boards, requires careful attention to prevent damage from static electricity. Here are essential precautions to ensure safe handling:
1. Static Electricity Precautions:
- To prevent component damage due to static electricity, adhere to static-sensitive handling techniques at all times.
- Wear a wrist grounding strap while handling boards or components, ensuring it's worn only after removing boards or components from potentially energized equipment and placing them at a properly grounded workstation.
2. Anti-Static Packaging:
- Store boards in anti-static bags or appropriate anti-static boxes to maintain their protection from static discharge.
- Utilize a grounding strap as an additional precautionary measure while handling boards or their components, in accordance with the previously mentioned static electricity precaution criteria.
- Adhering to these precautions, such as utilizing anti-static packaging and employing grounding straps when handling components, is essential to safeguard sensitive printed wiring boards from potential static-related damage, ensuring their integrity and functionality remain intact.
