Description
1. Product Title
GE IS200STAIS2ACB – Mark VIe Simplex Analog Input Terminal Board
2. Product Overview
The IS200STAIS2ACB is a specialized Analog Input terminal board designed for the General Electric (GE) Mark VIe control system. This board serves as the physical interface where field wiring for analog sensors is terminated and connected to the digital control environment via I/O packs.
The “STAI” series boards solve the problem of managing high-density analog signals in a “Simplex” (non-redundant) configuration. The IS200STAIS2ACB typically supports up to 10 analog inputs, which can include 4-20 mA current loops or voltage inputs. It acts as the bridge between the harsh electrical environment of the plant floor and the sensitive electronics of the I/O packs, providing passive signal conditioning and surge protection.

4. Key Features & Benefits
- Compact Simplex Design: Optimized for applications where Triple Modular Redundancy (TMR) is not required, reducing both cost and cabinet space requirements.
- Passive Protection: Includes integrated metal oxide varistors (MOVs) and noise filtering components to protect the control system from field-side electrical surges and high-frequency interference.
- Flexible Signal Support: The board handles both current and voltage signals, allowing for a mix of different sensor types (pressure, temperature, flow) on a single module.
- Easy Maintenance: The terminal blocks are clearly labeled, and the D-sub connectors allow for the quick replacement of I/O packs without disturbing the field wiring.
5. Application Scenarios
- Gas Turbine Auxiliary Systems: Used to monitor non-critical parameters such as oil tank levels, inlet air temperatures, and filter differential pressures.
- Balance of Plant (BOP): Deployed in water treatment or cooling tower control systems within a power plant where simplex reliability is sufficient.
- Industrial Process Control: Ideal for generic industrial automation tasks where 4-20 mA sensors are used to monitor environmental conditions or chemical storage.
6. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- Q: What I/O pack is used with the IS200STAIS2ACB?
- A: This board is most commonly paired with the IS220PAICH1A (Analog I/O Pack) which plugs directly into the D-sub connectors on the board.
- Q: Can this board support redundant I/O?
- A: No. The “STAI” (Simplex) version is designed for a single I/O pack connection. For redundant or TMR applications, you would typically use the TBAX or TFAI series boards.
- Q: Is there any active electronics on this board?
- A: No, the IS200STAIS2ACB is a passive board. All signal processing and A/D conversion are handled by the I/O pack that attaches to it.
