GE IS210BPPCH1AD (IS215WEPAH2BA) Printed Circuit Board

IS210BPPCH1AD Technical Specifications

Product Overview

The IS210BPPCH1AD is an I/O Pack Processor Board (BPPC) developed by General Electric for use in the Mark VI Turbine Control System Series, part of the company’s Speedtronic control system family. This board is specifically designed to function within I/O packs that integrate into GE’s Mark VI system, and it is not compatible with the Mark VIeS system.

Application & Functionality

This board plays a vital role in managing and processing I/O communications for gas, steam, and wind turbine automated drive assemblies, offering a functional upgrade over the earlier Mark V system, which was limited to gas and steam turbine control.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are both of this device’s two product revisions considered functional?

Yes. Both revisions of the IS210BPPCH1AD are classified as functional revisions under standard Mark VI part number conventions.

Does this product utilize Speedtronic control system technology?

Yes. The Mark VI Series, which includes the IS210BPPCH1AD, is one of GE's final-developed series to incorporate the Speedtronic control system.

Hardware Features and Design

The IS210BPPCH1AD board is designed for durable, high-efficiency performance, using surface-mount technology (SMT) on a double-sided layout. Key physical and electrical characteristics include:

Physical Design:

• Mounting:

• Factory-drilled holes in each corner

• Installs on a larger circuit board using screw-mounted standoffs

• Rounded edge cutouts for proper fit

• Top Side Components:

• Two Ethernet ports

• One small inductor (choke)

• Diodes, resistors, capacitors, and transistors

• Multiple integrated circuits and resistor network arrays

• Bottom Side Components:

• Primarily populated with capacitors, resistors, and diodes

These components support the board’s voltage suppression and regulation system, a standard design principle in the Mark VI Series for stable and reliable control.

Version History

The IS210BPPCH1AD is not the original model for its functional role. That distinction belongs to the IS210BPPCH1, which does not feature the dual product revision history found in this "AD" version. Notably, this board includes two functional revisions, which is relatively uncommon within the Mark VI product family and may contribute to enhanced reliability or compatibility.
