-
Flexible Output Configuration: Each channel supports 4–20 mA or 0–10 V outputs via GE ToolboxST software.
-
High Resolution: 16-bit DAC provides precise control for critical turbine parameters.
-
Programmable Filtering: Onboard low-pass filter (1–50 Hz) smooths output signals to reduce mechanical wear on actuators.
-
Comprehensive Diagnostics: Real-time open-circuit, short-circuit, and over/under-range monitoring per channel.

Key Advantage: IS200TBAOH1C provides 32 analog outputs—the highest channel density in the Mark VIe analog output terminal family and four times that of competing modules—with flexible output configuration, 16-bit resolution, and comprehensive diagnostics, significantly reducing rack space for large turbine actuator control applications.
Selection Guidelines & Recommendations
-
Output Type: Configure 4–20 mA or 0–10 V per channel in GE ToolboxST.
-
Load Verification: Ensure connected actuators do not exceed load impedance capability (0–750 Ω for current, > 2 kΩ for voltage).
-
Filtering: Use 1–10 Hz for smooth actuator response, 20–50 Hz for faster dynamic control.
-
Controller Firmware: Requires Mark VIe processor firmware v7.0 or later.
-
Spare Strategy: Keep one spare per turbine; lead times 6–10 weeks.
-
Retrofit: Direct replacement—regenerate configuration in GE ToolboxST for 32-channel mapping.
Important Cautions
-
No Hot-Swap: De-energize rack before insertion/removal.
-
Output Polarity: Observe correct polarity for current loops.
-
Short-Circuit Protection: While protected, sustained short circuits may cause thermal shutdown. Investigate wiring faults promptly.
-
Grounding: Connect AGND to Mark VIe system ground at single star point.
-
Shield Termination: Ground output cable shields only at cabinet end.
-
ESD Handling: Use grounded wrist straps; field repair not possible.
-
Filtering Trade-Off: Higher filtering provides smoother output but introduces signal delay—balance based on actuator response requirements.
-
Channel Mapping: With 32 channels, verify wiring maps to correct ToolboxST channel assignments.
-
Power Supply: Ensure rack power supply provides adequate current for all active outputs (20 mA × 32 channels = 640 mA max).
