Functional Description

IS200ISBAH1A is an ISBus daughter board developed by GE. It is a part of EX2100 excitation system. It is a replacement board for a PCB that is attached to an Application Control Layer Module (ACLI). Excitation Control System is GE's cutting-edge control solution for new and retrofit steam, gas, or hydro generation. To ensure the delivery of a true system solution, GE's system engineering and controls engineering work closely together to design hardware and software. The EX2100, Mark VI, Mark VI Integrated Control System (ICS), LS2100 Static Starter, and Human-Machine Interface (HMI) are all seamlessly integrated.

Product Features and Attributes

The board is equipped with two ISBus communication channels, allowing it to facilitate seamless data transmission within the excitation system. These channels are essential for ensuring real-time synchronization and communication between different system components.

• ACLI Ports: The board features two ACLI ports labeled INSYNC A and INSYNC B. These ports enable the module to maintain proper synchronization with the network.
• Status LEDs: Each communication channel is equipped with two status LEDs:
  
  • Green LED - Indicates that the board is online and actively communicating.
  • Yellow LED - Signals that the board is recording data.
• When the ACLI module is online and receiving signals, these LEDs illuminate accordingly to indicate system status.

Board Components and Design

• Integrated Circuits: A total of 17 integrated circuits are embedded within the board, including two larger processors that manage data processing and system control.
• PC/104 Port: Allows for modular expansion and connection with other control system components.
• Header Port: Provides connectivity for additional signal interfacing.
• Stab Jumpers: Three stab jumpers are included for configuration settings.
• P1 Pin Connector: Facilitates direct connection with other system components.
• The PCB layout is structured to optimize signal flow and minimize interference. To maintain a secure fit, two plastic extenders are positioned at the bottom, ensuring stability when mounted above the Transition Board.

System Cabinet and Installation

The EX2100 excitation system is housed in a NEMA 1/IP20-rated metal cabinet, designed for indoor floor-mounting applications. This robust enclosure provides protection from dust and accidental contact, ensuring safe and efficient operation in industrial environments.

• Temperature Range: 0°C to 40°C (Standard operating conditions).
• High-Temperature Operation: If the ambient temperature reaches 50°C, a current derating factor may apply depending on the specific application.
• Exterior Finish: Standard ANSI-70 Light Gray.
• Interior Finish: Galvanized surfaces for added durability and corrosion resistance.

The EX2100 regulator systems are delivered as a parts kit, allowing for seamless retrofitting into existing excitation systems. This modular approach simplifies installation, maintenance, and upgrades, ensuring that power plants can enhance system performance without requiring a complete overhaul.

Handling Precautions

Static-sensitive components may be found on printed wiring boards. As a result, WOC packages all replacement boards in antistatic bags. When handling boards, follow the following guidelines:

• Keep circuit boards in antistatic bags or boxes.
• When handling boards or board components, use a grounding strap.

Please see the GE datasheet GEI-100434A for more information on the board and how it connects to the ACLI module. WOC is happy to assist you with any of your automation requirements. Please contact us by phone or email for pricing and availability on any parts and repairs.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is IS200ISBAH1A?
It is an ISBus daughter board developed by GE

What are ISBus communication channels?
ISBus communication channels are a type of communication protocol used in industrial automation systems to transfer data between devices.

What are the ACLI ports labeled?
The ACLI ports are labeled INSYNC A and INSYNC B.

What do the status LEDs on each communication channel indicate?
Each communication channel has two status LEDs - one green for online and one yellow for recording. When the ACLI is online and receiving signals from the network, these will glow.

What is the Transition Board?
The Transition Board is a board that sits below the replacement board and has a PC/104 and a header port.
