Selection Recommendations
Choose IS200ICBDH1B for improved reliability, enhanced noise immunity, and longer MTBF in demanding I/O and bus driver applications. Select over “A” revision boards when operating in electrically noisy environments. Verify compatibility with your I/O and bus requirements.
Precautions and Important Notes
Use ESD-safe handling. Verify field wiring and highway connections. Confirm compatibility with your specific I/O and bus requirements. Never interrupt firmware updates. Board draws 2.0A – verify rack power capacity. Document all configurations. Store spares in anti-static packaging. Do not mix IS200ICBDH1B with “A” revision boards in redundant pairs without verifying identical firmware. Allow 30 seconds boot time. Test all I/O and bus driver functions during commissioning. The IS200ICBDH1B is critical for I/O and bus management – ensure all controller and bus settings are verified before placing in service. Ensure highway cabling does not exceed maximum recommended length. The “B” revision improved hardware may require updated firmware in other system components for optimal compatibility. Regular verification of bus communication and I/O performance is recommended.
