GE IS200VVIBH1C IS200VVIBH1CAC Vibration Monitor Board

The GE IS200VVIBH1C IS200VVIBH1CAC VME Vibration Monitor Board tracks turbine shaft and bearing vibrations in real time. You will find this board essential for predictive maintenance programs. Its VME form factor integrates directly into standard industrial backplanes.

Dimensions, Weight, and Physical Layout

This VME vibration monitor board 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 0.49 kilograms for standard VME rack mounting. A six-layer PCB minimizes noise coupling on sensitive analog inputs.

Vibration Interfaces and Component Count

The GE IS200VVIBH1C IS200VVIBH1CAC VME Vibration Monitor Board offers eight independent vibration input channels. Each channel supports IEPE accelerometers with built-in 4 mA constant current excitation. You also receive four tachometer inputs for shaft speed synchronization. In total, this board contains 192 individual electronic components. These include 8 charge amplifiers, 4 comparator circuits, and 112 precision capacitors.

Energy Storage and Power Parameters

A 3.3V supercapacitor provides onboard energy storage for 48 hours. This backup retains alarm setpoints during temporary power interruptions. The board draws 6.2 watts from a nominal 24V DC supply. Peak inrush current stays safely below 2.8 amperes.

Signal Processing and Environmental Limits

You get 24-bit ADC conversion for each vibration channel at 102.4 kSPS. The board performs real-time FFT analysis on all eight channels simultaneously. A 300 MHz DSP processor handles filtering and feature extraction. Therefore, the operating temperature ranges from -25°C to +70°C. Storage temperatures extend from -40°C to +85°C without degradation.

Connectors, VME Bus, and Additional Features

A 96-pin VME connector interfaces directly with the backplane. Two BNC coaxial connectors provide direct accelerometer inputs. For similar static trip system vibration monitoring, see the RMS-TSG-TZ-C model from the same manufacturer. However, this VME vibration board specializes in turbine condition monitoring exclusively. Mean time between failures (MTBF) exceeds 160,000 hours in continuous operation.
