Product Overview
The GE IS200SSCAH1A is a high-performance serial communication terminal board designed for seamless integration with GE’s Mark VI/VIe control platform, serving as a critical interface for connecting legacy industrial devices to modern automation systems. This module provides flexible serial connectivity with advanced signal conditioning, enabling bidirectional data transmission across RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485 protocols in safety-critical applications.
As a foundational component of GE’s Speedtronic turbine control systems, the GE IS200SSCAH1A supports up to six configurable serial channels, each capable of handling data rates up to 375 kbps . Its 48-pin screw-type terminal block ensures reliable termination for field wiring, while 16 jumper switches allow precise configuration of communication parameters such as protocol selection and termination settings . The module’s compact design (159 mm × 178 mm × 80 mm) and conformal coating make it suitable for harsh environments, including offshore platforms and industrial plants with extreme temperatures (-30°C to +65°C) .
Engineered for scalability, the GE IS200SSCAH1A integrates with GE’s Mark VIe system via the IS Bus or PROFIBUS-DP, enabling real-time data exchange with controllers and HMIs. Its compatibility with Modbus RTU enhances interoperability with third-party systems, reducing the need for intermediate gateways in hybrid control architectures .

Main Features and Advantages
Multi-protocol flexibility: The GE IS200SSCAH1A supports RS-232 (short-distance), RS-422 (differential, multi-drop), and RS-485 (long-distance, up to 1,200 meters), eliminating the need for multiple interface modules. Its Modbus RTU compatibility enables direct communication with third-party systems, such as PLCs and smart sensors, streamlining integration in mixed-technology environments .
Rugged industrial design: With conformal coating and Euro-style terminal blocks, the module withstands vibration, moisture, and electromagnetic interference (EMI), ensuring reliable operation in offshore, mining, and petrochemical environments. Its fail-safe architecture defaults outputs to a safe state during power disruptions, preventing data corruption .
Precision configuration: Sixteen adjustable jumpers allow granular control over communication parameters, including termination resistors and protocol modes. This flexibility optimizes signal integrity for long-distance RS-485 networks or high-speed RS-232 connections, reducing setup time and compatibility issues .
Hot-swap capability: The module can be replaced without powering down the Mark VIe system, minimizing downtime during maintenance. Diagnostic LEDs provide real-time status updates for channel health and communication errors, simplifying troubleshooting .
Application Areas
In power generation, the GE IS200SSCAH1A interfaces with turbine control systems, connecting speed sensors, actuators, and legacy PLCs to the Mark VIe platform. Its RS-485 ports enable long-distance monitoring of generator parameters in harsh turbine environments, while Modbus RTU ensures compatibility with third-party monitoring tools .
Within oil & gas, the module integrates subsea pressure transducers and wellhead control modules, leveraging RS-422 for reliable data transmission to centralized SCADA systems. Its wide temperature range makes it ideal for offshore platforms and subsea manifolds exposed to extreme conditions .
In chemical processing, the GE IS200SSCAH1A controls batch reactors by connecting pH meters, flow controllers, and motor drives via RS-232. Its isolated channels prevent ground loops, ensuring accurate process control in high-noise environments .
Water treatment plants use the module to monitor dissolved oxygen sensors and control dosing pumps via RS-485, with diagnostic alerts for sensor fouling or calibration issues. Its scalability supports both small-scale systems and large distributed networks .
Pre-installation preparation: Ensure the Mark VIe rack is grounded and powered off. Align the GE IS200SSCAH1A with the backplane connectors, securing it with captive screws (4.5 N·m torque). Use anti-static equipment to prevent ESD damage, and verify jumper settings for the desired protocol (e.g., RS-485 termination resistors) .
Maintenance recommendations: Inspect terminal blocks quarterly for loose connections and clean dust from vents. Replace the internal battery (CR2032) every 5 years to preserve configuration data. Use a serial diagnostic tool to test channel integrity annually, and update firmware to support new device protocols .
Product Warranty
The GE IS200SSCAH1A is backed by a 1-year warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. GE’s global support network provides 24/7 technical assistance, including remote diagnostics and on-site repairs. A dedicated inventory of remanufactured units ensures rapid replacement, minimizing downtime for critical systems .
