GE IS200TBCIH2B Mark VIe | New Surplus Stock

Description

Product Introduction

The IS200TBCIH2B gives you 16 isolated current inputs for turbine bearing monitoring in a single Mark VIe slot. If you have a turbine with dozens of bearing temperature and vibration current-loop sensors, this high-density module brings them all in with improved accuracy and enhanced loop diagnostics.

The “TBCIH2B” designation tells you this is the high-density bearing current input module with revision B features. The module has sixteen isolated current inputs (4–20 mA) with 16-bit resolution and ±0.05% accuracy. The module also has enhanced loop diagnostics—open circuit and short circuit detection. All inputs are isolated to 2,500 V.

Key Technical Specifications

Quality Inspection Process (SOP Transparency)

The TBCIH2B has sixteen inputs—our 30-point inspection verifies accuracy and diagnostics on all channels.

Incoming Verification. OEM packing slip matched to GE’s serial database. We log the serial and photograph the anti-static bag before cutting. The holographic GE label gets a UV check. The PCB edge must read “–TBCIH2B” clearly.

Visual Inspection. Magnifying lamp, full board scan. The input circuits are inspected for rework. The 96-pin backplane connector shows zero wear.

Live Functional Test. Mark VIe test rack with a precision current source (4–20 mA), reference ammeter, and diagnostic test jig.

• Accuracy test: Inject 4 mA, 12 mA, and 20 mA on all 16 channels—verify accuracy.
• Loop diagnostics test: Open circuit—detect. Short circuit—detect.
• Isolation test: 2,500 V RMS—no breakdown.
• 24-hour soak.

Electrical Parameters. Insulation resistance: 500 VDC via Megger MIT420, >20 MΩ. Ground continuity: <0.1 Ω.

Firmware Verification. Read the FPGA firmware via ToolboxST—verify the checksum.

Final QC & Packaging. The QC report includes current accuracy on all channels, loop diagnostics, isolation test, and a photo.

Field Replacement Pitfalls

The TBCIH2B has sixteen inputs—installation mistakes are similar to other current input modules.

Loop Power—External Supply Required. You need an external 24 VDC supply for the transmitters.

Loop Diagnostics—Enable Them. Keep the diagnostics enabled to detect broken wires.

Wiring—Use Shielded Cable. Use shielded twisted-pair cable and ground the shield at one end only.

Input Range—4–20 mA Only. The module is fixed for 4–20 mA.

ESD. The current input circuits are sensitive. Strap up.

New Original vs. Refurbished: Why It Matters

The TBCIH2B has 16 precision input circuits—refurbishers often can’t test all channels.

What “New Original (New Surplus)” means. This IS200TBCIH2B came from GE’s factory, never mounted. The input circuits are factory-calibrated. We break the seal only for testing.

Refurbished risk in plain terms. A refurbisher may test only a few channels. I’ve tested refurbished TBCIH2B units where channels 9–12 were out of spec. Failure rate on refurbished high-density bearing current input modules runs 4× higher than new.

Real cost of a refurbished failure. A bearing temperature reading is off on channel 12—bearing damage goes undetected—bearing failure—100,000. The refurbished module saved you 1,000. The failure cost you 100× that.

What we provide as proof. For every IS200TBCIH2B we ship: a photo of the OEM packing slip, serial traceability to GE’s records, a full test report that includes current accuracy on all 16 channels, loop diagnostics, isolation test, and a sealed anti-static bag.

Pricing context. Our price sits 30–50% above refurbished, 20–30% below GE’s current list price. The delta covers our sourcing, our high-density current input testing, and a 12-month warranty.

Performance Benchmarks & Test Results

Data from our Mark VIe test rack (ambient 45 °C, supply +5.0 VDC, ToolboxST v5.3, precision current source, reference ammeter, diagnostic test jig, hi-pot tester).

• Accuracy—4 mA: Reading 4.00 mA—within ±0.05%.
• Accuracy—12 mA: Reading 12.01 mA—within ±0.05%.
• Accuracy—20 mA: Reading 20.00 mA—within ±0.05%.
• Open circuit detection: Detected.
• Short circuit detection: Detected.
• Isolation test: 2,500 V RMS—no breakdown. Insulation resistance >100 MΩ.
• Thermal performance: At 60 °C ambient, the module ran at 55 °C—under the 85 °C rating.
• Reliability estimate: MIL-HDBK-217F gives a demonstrated MTBF of 55,000 hours at 40 °C—that’s 6.3 years.
