Installation Requirements:​ The IS200DSPXH2B is designed to be mounted on the backplane in the board rack.
Usage Notes:
  • ⚠️ This board is not supported by EX2100 systems due to its more limited ISBus interface.
  • A failed DSP card can create confusing symptoms—communication faults, unstable control behavior, or startup issues that initially look like I/O problems.
  • Matching board revisions matters greatly; this is one of the less advanced revisions of this model, which limits it from being used in EX2100 applications.
