GE IS200EBACG2A | Mark VIe Ethernet Bridge Module In Stock

Description

Product Introduction

The GE IS200EBACG2A is a Mark VIe series Ethernet bridge module that provides network bridging capabilities for connecting Mark VIe control system networks with 1 GbE ports and specific hardware configuration. This I/O pack enables communication between different network segments, provides protocol translation, and supports network redundancy for reliable control system communication.

The G2A revision provides 2 ports of 1 GbE connectivity with specific hardware configuration. In our field experience, the EBAC is used to bridge different network segments within the Mark VIe system, enabling communication between controllers, HMIs, and other network devices. For facilities requiring network segmentation or protocol translation, the EBAC provides the necessary connectivity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can I hot-swap this IS200EBACG2A into a running Mark VIe system?

We strongly advise against it. The EBACG2A has shown unpredictable behavior when inserted into a powered backplane. Schedule a controlled outage, de-energize the rack, and swap it during planned maintenance.

What is the difference between the EACF and EBAC modules?

The EACF is an Ethernet communication module providing network connectivity. The EBAC is an Ethernet bridge module providing network bridging and protocol translation between different network segments.

What protocols does this module support?

The EBAC supports bridging between network segments with appropriate protocol handling. Specific protocol support varies by firmware version. Verify your application requirements before ordering.

How do I verify this is a genuine GE module?

We source exclusively from GE-authorized liquidations. Our verification includes OEM packaging inspection, serial number cross-check against GE records, and PCB inspection for GE-specific markings. We test all ports under load.

Will I lose any configuration data when I replace the module?

Bridge modules have configuration parameters stored in EEPROM. You will need to reconfigure the new module in ToolboxST after installation.

What is the expected lifespan of this unit?

We see MTBF around 140,000 hours for the EBACG2A. We have seen these units exceed 15 years in field service.

Which termination board should I use with this module?

The IS200EBACG2A mates with GE-specific termination boards. We include wiring diagrams with every order.
