GE IS200VAICH1D IS200VAICH1DAB VME Analog Input Card

The GE IS200VAICH1D IS200VAICH1DAB VME Analog Input Card converts field sensor signals for turbine control systems. You will find this card essential for monitoring pressures, temperatures, and flows. Its VME form factor integrates seamlessly into standard industrial backplanes.

Dimensions, Weight, and Physical Layout

This VME analog input card measures 16.0 cm in length and 10.3 cm in width. Its height stays at 2.0 cm including all signal conditioning circuits. The total weight reaches 0.46 kilograms for standard VME rack mounting. A six-layer PCB minimizes crosstalk between adjacent input channels.

Analog Input Interfaces and Component Count

The GE IS200VAICH1D IS200VAICH1DAB VME Analog Input Card offers sixteen single-ended analog input channels. Each channel accepts 0-10V, ±10V, or 4-20mA signals via software selection. You also receive two high-precision voltage references for calibration verification. In total, this card contains 178 individual electronic components. These include 16 ADC front-ends, 2 reference ICs, and 108 precision resistors.

Energy Storage and Power Parameters

A 3.3V supercapacitor provides onboard energy storage for 48 hours. This backup retains calibration coefficients during temporary power interruptions. The card draws 5.5 watts from a nominal 24V DC supply. Peak inrush current stays safely below 2.5 amperes.

Resolution, Accuracy, and Environmental Limits

You get 16-bit analog-to-digital conversion for each input channel. The card achieves ±0.05% accuracy across the full input range. A 120 MHz dedicated processor handles scaling and linearization tasks. Therefore, the operating temperature ranges from -30°C to +70°C. Storage temperatures extend from -40°C to +85°C without performance loss.

Connectors, VME Bus, and Additional Features

A 96-pin VME connector interfaces directly with the backplane. Two 40-pin ribbon cable headers connect to external termination boards. For similar static trip system analog monitoring, see the RMS-TSG-TZ-C model from the same manufacturer. However, this VME analog input card specializes in high-precision signal acquisition exclusively. Mean time between failures (MTBF) exceeds 170,000 hours in continuous operation.
