GE IS200HSLAH2ADE

Description

Product Overview
The GE IS200HSLAH2ADE is a high-speed line interface printed circuit board designed for GE Speedtronic Mark VI and Mark VIe gas and steam turbine control systems. This specialized I/O pack provides high-speed analog input processing for critical turbine protection functions including overspeed detection, vibration monitoring, and flame signal analysis. The GE IS200HSLAH2ADE operates within the Mark VIe distributed control architecture, delivering deterministic signal acquisition essential for preventing catastrophic turbine damage.

Technical Specifications
The GE IS200HSLAH2ADE features 8 differential high-speed analog input channels with 16-bit resolution and 100 kHz per channel sampling rate. Input ranges are software-configurable for ±10 VDC, ±5 VDC, 0-10 VDC, and 4-20 mA via external precision shunt resistors. Each channel provides 1000 VDC galvanic isolation and includes programmable low-pass filtering from 100 Hz to 50 kHz. The GE IS200HSLAH2ADE incorporates dual simultaneous sampling ADCs with interleaved architecture achieving 0.02% typical accuracy. Communication with the Mark VIe processor is via high-speed VME backplane interface with 500 μs deterministic I/O scan rate. Onboard memory includes 64 MB SDRAM for ring buffer storage of transient event data. The module occupies a single slot in Mark VIe RXi and RXiS racks and requires +5 VDC and ±15 VDC backplane supplies consuming 15 W typical. Front-panel LEDs indicate channel status, module health, and backplane communication integrity. The GE IS200HSLAH2ADE is conformal coated as standard and operates from -30°C to +65°C.

Key Features and Advantages

• High-Speed Overspeed Protection: The GE IS200HSLAH2ADE provides dedicated hardware comparators for per-channel overspeed setpoints with <1 ms total response time, independent of main processor scan cycle.

• Simultaneous Sampling: All 8 channels acquire data at precisely the same instant, enabling accurate phase angle analysis for rotor dynamic diagnostics and synchronous vibration monitoring.

• Transient Capture: Continuous pre-trigger and post-trigger recording of high-speed waveforms captures turbine start-up profiles and fault events with 10 μs resolution.

• Sensor Compatibility: Direct interface with magnetic pickups, eddy current proximity probes, accelerometers, and flame scanners without external signal conditioning.

• Self-Calibration: Automatic zero and span calibration using internal precision voltage reference eliminates drift over temperature and time.

Application Areas
The GE IS200HSLAH2ADE is the specified high-speed input module for GE Frame 5, 6, 7, and 9 heavy-duty gas turbines requiring redundant overspeed protection systems. A major Middle Eastern power generator recently deployed 24 GE IS200HSLAH2ADE modules across their combined cycle fleet during Mark V to Mark VIe control system upgrades. The module is also extensively utilized in steam turbine rotor stress monitoring systems and hydroelectric generator vibration analysis applications. Pipeline compressor stations employ the GE IS200HSLAH2ADE for surge detection and high-speed anti-surge control loop closure.

Competitive Comparison
Versus the Woodward MicroNet High-Speed Input module and Siemens S7-1500 TM AI, the GE IS200HSLAH2ADE offers native integration with GE Speedtronic overspeed protection logic without requiring custom function block programming. While competitive modules achieve similar sampling rates, the GE IS200HSLAH2ADE uniquely provides dedicated hardware comparators operating independently of the main processor, satisfying SIL 3 requirements for independent overspeed protection channels. Its 1000 VDC channel isolation exceeds the 500 VDC typical of industrial PLC analog input modules, providing superior protection against ground potential rise during power system faults. The conformal coated design also offers enhanced resistance to hydrogen sulfide corrosion present in refinery turbine applications.

Selection Guidelines and Precautions

• Verify that your GE IS200HSLAH2ADE is ordered with the correct firmware revision for your specific turbine application; gas turbine, steam turbine, and hydro applications require different signal processing algorithms.

• Confirm that the GE IS200HSLAH2ADE revision level matches existing modules in redundant configurations; mixing A, B, or C revisions may prevent proper hot-standby synchronization.

• The GE IS200HSLAH2ADE requires ToolboxST version 5.5 or higher for configuration; earlier versions cannot access high-speed sampling parameters.

• Ensure that input signal cables are properly shielded and terminated; the 100 kHz bandwidth of the GE IS200HSLAH2ADE is susceptible to radio frequency interference in improperly grounded installations.

• Order the GE IS200HSLAH2ADE with the corresponding IS200TBAH2A terminal board for proper field wiring interface and signal conditioning.

• When configuring overspeed setpoints, maintain minimum 10% margin above normal operating speed to prevent nuisance trips during transient overfrequency events.

• The GE IS200HSLAH2ADE high-speed sampling mode generates significant backplane data traffic; confirm total rack bandwidth capacity when installing multiple modules in same chassis.

• Perform periodic proof testing of GE IS200HSLAH2ADE overspeed comparator circuits during turbine outages per OEM recommended intervals.
