GE IS200BICIH1ADB Bridge Interface Controller Board
GE IS200BICIH1ADB is a Bridge Interface Controller Board for Mark VIe control systems. It enables protocol bridging, stable data transfer between components, has galvanic isolation, operates at -40°C to +70°C, meets UL/CE, ensuring reliable industrial control communication.
The GE IS200BICIH1ADB is a high-performance Bridge Interface Controller Board engineered
exclusively for GE’s Mark VIe Distributed Control System (DCS)—a mission-critical component that
enables seamless, low-latency communication between Mark VIe controllers, distributed I/O modules,
and third-party industrial devices. Designed to solve interoperability challenges in harsh industrial
environments, this board ensures bidirectional data transmission with 99.99% reliability, making it
indispensable for sectors where system downtime risks safety, productivity, or compliance. Whether
integrating legacy sensors, external PLCs, or specialized actuators, the IS200BICIH1ADB delivers plug-
and-play compatibility with the Mark VIe ecosystem, making it a top choice for power generation, oil
& gas, and heavy manufacturing operations.
Core Features
1. Multi-Protocol Interoperability
Eliminates communication silos by supporting PROFIBUS DP, Modbus TCP, and GE VMEbus—no need for extra gateway hardware. Seamlessly connects Mark VIe systems to third-party devices (e.g., Siemens S7-1200/1500 PLCs, Allen-Bradley 1756 I/O, Honeywell pressure transducers), reducing hardware costs by 30% and simplifying system design.
2. Industrial-Grade Reliability
EMI/EMC Protection: 2.5kV AC electrical isolation and shielding block electromagnetic interference (common near motors, generators, or high-voltage equipment), ensuring error-free data transmission.
Long Lifespan: Conformal coating and UL 94 V-0 housing extend service life to 10+ years in harsh conditions (e.g., refineries, power plant control rooms).
Fault Resilience: Error-correcting code (ECC) memory prevents data corruption, critical for safety-critical applications like turbine control.
3. Plug-and-Play Mark VIe Integration
Auto-detected by GE Mark VIe Configuration Studio and CIMPLICITY software—no custom coding or complex configuration required. Cuts installation time by 40% compared to generic bridge boards, accelerating system commissioning.
4. Proactive Diagnostics & Minimal Downtime
LED Status Indicators: Color-coded lights (power: green; protocol activity: amber; fault: red) enable instant troubleshooting (e.g., identify a failed Modbus TCP connection in seconds).
Hot-Swappable Design: Replace the board without shutting down the Mark VIe system, reducing unplanned downtime to <15 minutes—critical for 24/7 operations like oil pipelines or power grids.
5. Hazardous Zone Compliance
ATEX/IECEx certification allows deployment in Zone 2 (flammable gas atmospheres) and Zone 22 (combustible dust environments), making it suitable for oil refineries, chemical plants, and grain processing facilities.
Applications
The IS200BICIH1ADB is optimized for industries relying on GE Mark VIe DCS for precision control:
Power Generation: Gas/steam turbine speed control (connects proximity sensors to Mark VIe controllers), boiler feedwater regulation, grid synchronization systems.
