IS200ESBPG1A

IS200ESBPG1A is an exciter simplex backup board developed by GE. It is a part of EX2100 excitation system. The ESBP plays a pivotal role in the architecture of control systems, offering a foundational structure for seamless communication and functionality across various components. This component serves as both control boards and I/O terminal board cables, primarily catering to simplex applications within the system's operational framework. This board is no longer manufactured by GE, but it is still available in our stock. We have both new and used surplus from our large inventory.

Features

• It is designed with a specific emphasis on providing essential connectivity and housing capabilities for control boards. It serves as the substrate onto which these control boards are plugged, enabling them to interact, communicate, and contribute to the overall functionality of the control system. In particular, for controller M1, the ESBP not only offers the necessary slots for the ACLE, DSPX, EISB, EMIO, and ESEL boards but also accommodates the EROC ground detector interface. This integration fosters a cohesive control ecosystem where diverse boards collaborate to achieve efficient and reliable control operations.
• A distinctive feature of the card is its inclusion of the EPSM (Exciter Power Supply Module). This power supply module serves a critical role in ensuring that the requisite power is delivered to the connected components, maintaining their operational integrity. To facilitate optimal performance, a single overhead fan is employed to efficiently cool the controller, preventing overheating and ensuring consistent and reliable operation even during extended usage.
• The board's design caters to the complex connectivity needs of the control system. Its upper section is equipped with DIN connectors, offering a reliable platform for plug-in control boards. This design streamlines the installation process and promotes an organized arrangement of components. The lower part of the backplane features D-SUB connectors dedicated to I/O interface cables, as well as circular DIN connectors. These connectors serve various functions, including keypad interface cables, power supply plugs, and test rings, further enhancing the system's flexibility and adaptability.
• In later revisions of the ESBP, such as Revision C and beyond, an upgraded EBKP is introduced. This enhanced backplane extends its utility by supporting up to four Din-rail mounted 4-20mA signal conditioner output modules. These modules cater to tasks such as metering or high-speed analog monitoring of EX2100 variables. This advanced capability contributes to the system's capacity for precise data acquisition and real-time monitoring, enhancing its overall functionality and operational insights.

Characteristics

• The model is typically linked to a backplane model via thirteen backplane connectors organized into four groups on the model. There are three groups of three and one group of four in terms of group orientation. On one side of the board, in a single line, there are five vertical ribbon connectors known as male connectors; the sizes and functions of these connectors vary.
The board has nine female plug connectors, all of which are different sizes.
• Five sub-d connectors are located in the middle of the bottom half of the board. They are J504 EACF, J505 EXTB and EXHS, J405 ECTB, J305 EPCT, and J7 Bridge, in that order. The purpose of these connectors is to allow the EX2100 system to communicate with other models and boards.
• The backplane has only one section, which houses the power supply for the EPSM model. The DSPX, ACLE, EMIO, EROC, ESEL, and EISB boards are all connected to controller M1. To keep the controller cool, the ESBP backplane model requires one overhead fan. Only simplex mode applications use the ESBP backplane model.

Connector Configuration

• The board is meticulously designed with a sophisticated connector configuration, ensuring seamless integration and efficient functionality within diverse control systems. The board is equipped with a total of thirteen backplane connectors, strategically grouped into three sets of three connectors each, along with an additional group of four connectors. This thoughtful arrangement enhances the board's connectivity, allowing for the establishment of crucial communication links within the broader system architecture.
• Backplane Connectors: The thirteen backplane connectors play a pivotal role in facilitating communication and data transfer within the board and the larger control system. The connectors are strategically grouped, contributing to an organized and efficient layout. The three sets of three connectors each, along with the group of four connectors, are key components in establishing the board's connectivity to the system's backplane.
• Vertical Ribbon Connectors: In addition to the backplane connectors, the board features five vertical ribbon connectors situated on one side. These connectors, characterized as male-type connectors, serve various essential functions within the board's intricate design. The male connectors enhance reliability and ease of use, contributing to the overall versatility in accommodating diverse applications.
• Connector Quantities: The distribution of connectors is not arbitrary but carefully determined to meet specific functional requirements. The thirteen backplane connectors, grouped into sets of three and four, serve as the primary means of communication and data transfer, ensuring the seamless flow of information within the control system. Complementing these, the five vertical ribbon connectors play a crucial role in supporting specific functions, adding an extra layer of flexibility to the board's overall connectivity.

Sub-D Connectors

• J504 EACF: Positioned on the far left, J504 EACF serves as a connector with a designated function within the EX2100 system. Its role is crucial in facilitating specific connections that contribute to the overall functionality of the DSVO board.
• J505 EXTB and EXHS: Moving from left to right, the next connectors, J505 EXTB and EXHS, collectively play a significant role in establishing connections related to external boards and components. These connectors contribute to the board's versatility by enabling seamless communication with external modules within the EX2100 system.
• J405 ECTB: Positioned in the middle, J405 ECTB serves a unique function, possibly related to connections with the EX2100 system's control boards. This connector ensures efficient communication and integration with specific modules or components within the broader system architecture.
• J305 EPCT: The connector J305 EPCT, positioned to the right of J405 ECTB, likely plays a specific role in connecting with other boards or devices associated with the EX2100 system. Its strategic placement emphasizes its importance in the overall connectivity scheme.
• J7 Bridge: The last connector, J7 Bridge, holds a distinctive position on the far right. Its nomenclature suggests a specialized function, possibly related to bridging connections between different components or models within the EX2100 system.

Power Supply and Cooling

• The backplane contains a dedicated power supply for the EPSM model.
• It also serves as the connection point for several boards within controller M1, including the DSPX, ACLE, EMIO, EROC, ESEL, and EISB boards.
• For cooling purposes, the ESBP backplane model requires one overhead fan to ensure optimal temperature control.

Product Attributes

• Designed specifically for simplex mode applications.
• In the EX2100 Series, systems typically operate in one of two modes: redundant or simplex.
• In the case of the backplane, it is exclusively utilized in simplex mode applications.
