GE IS200BAIAH1BEE

Product Name: Mark VI Bridge Application Interface Card (BAIA)
Product Overview: A Bridge Application Interface Card from the GE Speedtronic™ Mark VI / Innovation Series. It acts as a communication gateway between the IS200DSPXH1CAA digital signal processor module and external devices such as drive system keypads, PCs, or auxiliary control systems, enabling real-time data exchange and command execution in gas, steam, and wind turbine control architectures.

Technical Specifications:
  • Compatible Systems: GE Speedtronic Mark VI/VIe DCS; IS200 series modules (e.g., DSPX, BICLH)
  • Communication Interface: RS-232C (external devices); VME backplane (internal module connectivity)
  • Power Input: 24 VDC via backplane (from GE IS200TPSAG1A redundant power supply)
  • Mounting: 19-inch rack-mount (1U height); MUST be installed in Slot 1 of the VME rack
  • Physical Dimensions: 482.6 mm (W) × 44.5 mm (H) × 152.4 mm (D)
  • Weight: 0.65 kg (1.43 lb)
  • Backplane Connectors: 2 × 50-pin high-density connectors (P1 and P2)
  • EEPROM: Factory-preloaded firmware (non-reprogrammable)
  • LED Indicator: IMOK LED for module health indication
  • Diagnostic Features: Fault logging via Mark VI HMI
  • Component Inventory: 3 relays, 2 transformers, 1 inductor, 6 transistors, 6 diodes, over 50 ICs, over 100 resistors, over 100 capacitors
  • Jumper Configurations: JP5A (AIN1 input impedance), JP5B (burden resistor across AIN1), JP6A (AIN2 input impedance), JP6B (burden resistor across AIN2)
  • Galvanic Isolation: 2500 Vrms for EMI/RFI protection
  • Operating Temperature: –40°C to +85°C (per industrial control card rack variant)
Key Features:
  • Seamless DSP integration: translates DSP-generated control signals into RS-232C commands for external devices
  • Plug-and-play: factory-preconfigured EEPROM eliminates need for custom firmware programming
  • Protocol conversion and signal routing (rather than direct sensor/actuator interfacing)
  • Rugged industrial design with conformal coating and galvanic isolation
  • Slot-specific installation mandated by faceplate warning label
Application Fields:
  • Power Generation (Gas/Steam Turbines): bridges DSPX to remote HMIs or third-party monitoring systems
  • Wind Turbines: facilitates communication between Mark VI controller and pitch/yaw control systems
  • Oil & Gas Offshore Platforms: connects Mark VI system to subsea sensors and actuators
Installation & Usage Notes:
  •  Must be installed in Slot 1 only — other slots will cause board damage
  • Install vertically into control card rack assembly
  • Do NOT attempt to reprogram or remove the factory-preloaded EEPROM
  • Verify IMOK LED illuminates after power-up
  • Configure jumpers (JP5A/JP5B/JP6A/JP6B) according to application requirements and GEI-100268A manual
  • Ideal for retrofitting legacy systems or extending control capabilities without modifying core hardware
