IS210BPPBH2BMD | GE Mark VIe BPPB Board | In Stock

Description

Product Introduction

The GE IS210BPPBH2BMD is a VMEbus power supply board from the Mark VIe Speedtronic series, purpose-built to provide regulated DC power to the Mark VIe control system backplanes. This board converts the plant’s nominal 125 VDC bus (typically from battery-backed DC supplies) into the clean, regulated voltages required by processor boards, I/O modules, communication interfaces, and field devices. The “MD” suffix indicates a maximum environment conformal coated board with the highest level of moisture, chemical, and particulate protection available, combined with the enhanced H2B revision features.

What sets the BPPBH2BMD revision apart is its robust input filtering, wide input voltage tolerance (100–150 VDC), high efficiency (92% typical), comprehensive diagnostics including voltage monitoring, current monitoring, temperature sensing, and predictive health monitoring, and the premium-grade urethane conformal coating that provides maximum protection in the harshest operating conditions. The board delivers 5 VDC at up to 30 A for logic circuits, ±12 VDC at 4 A for auxiliary circuits, and 24 VDC at 5 A for field I/O—all with low ripple for stable operation. For system integrators requiring the highest power capacity, advanced diagnostics, and maximum environmental protection in the most aggressive environments, this board represents the ultimate OEM power solution.

Key Technical Specifications

Key Selling Points & Differentiators

• Maximum Environment Coating Advantage: The “MD” suffix provides the thickest, most robust premium urethane coating (0.10–0.18 mm) rated for continuous exposure to high humidity, salt fog, chemical vapors, and airborne particulates. This is the ultimate protection variant for offshore platforms, coastal installations, desalination plants, chemical processing, pulp and paper mills, and mining operations where environmental contaminants are most severe.
• High Current Capacity: 30 A on 5 V rail—supports the most heavily loaded backplanes.
• High Efficiency: 92% efficiency—reduces heat generation and improves reliability.
• Multiple Output Rails: 5 V, ±12 V, and 24 V outputs—supplies all backplane power requirements.
• Wide Input Range: Accepts 100–150 VDC, covering typical plant battery voltages.
• Comprehensive Diagnostics: Voltage, current, temperature, and health monitoring.
• Predictive Health Monitoring: Capacitor aging estimation and fan health monitoring.
• Enhanced Transient Protection: 2,000 V surge withstand—superior protection.
• Live Test Verified: 48-hour burn-in at full rated load with cycling input voltage. Coated boards are visually inspected for complete coverage, thickness consistency, and absence of bubbles, voids, or pinholes using magnification and UV light.
• 90-Day Warranty: Covers functional defects. No restocking fee for verified returns.
• OEM Traceability: All units come from audited surplus channels with original GE packaging.
• Pre-Shipment Capacitor Reform: For units stored more than 12 months, we perform controlled capacitor reforming.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What does the “MD” suffix mean on IS210BPPBH2BMD?

A: The “MD” indicates maximum environment conformal coating combined with the H2B revision. Specifically, it means the board has a premium-grade urethane conformal coating (0.10–0.18 mm) applied to the entire PCB assembly for the highest level of moisture, chemical, and particulate protection, along with all H2B features (30 A capacity, 92% efficiency, 2,000 V transient protection). The coating adds protection; the H2B features provide high-performance power capability.

Q: What is the difference between IS210BPPBH2B and IS210BPPBH2BMD?

A: The H2B is non-coated; the H2BMD has maximum environment conformal coating. The coating protects against humidity, salt fog, and chemical vapors. If your cabinet is in a coastal area, offshore platform, or extreme environment, the MD variant is strongly recommended. In a clean, climate-controlled room, the H2B is sufficient and costs less.

Q: Does the maximum coating affect power delivery, efficiency, or protection?

A: No. The coating adds about 0.15 mm to the board thickness, which does not affect VME slot fitment. Power delivery, efficiency, ripple, and protection thresholds are identical to the non-coated H2B. Do not remove the coating or scrape it off—it voids the warranty and compromises protection.

Q: What is the difference between IS210BPPBH2BMD and IS2020LVPSG3A?

A: The BPPBH2BMD provides similar current capacity (30 A on 5 V) with maximum environment coating, 92% efficiency, and 2,000 V transient protection. The LVPSG3A provides 30 A capacity with 93% efficiency but may not include the same coating level. Choose BPPBH2BMD for maximum environmental protection with high performance.

Q: What is the predictive health monitoring feature?

A: The BPPBH2BMD continuously monitors capacitor aging, fan health, and overall power supply health. It estimates remaining component life based on temperature and operating hours, enabling proactive maintenance planning. The health status is reported through the Mark VIe Toolkit.

Q: Can I use this board with 24 VDC or 48 VDC input instead of 125 VDC?

A: No. The BPPBH2BMD is specifically designed for 125 VDC nominal input (100–150 VDC range). Using lower or higher voltages will damage the board or fail to regulate properly.

Q: Is this board hot-swappable?

A: No. The Mark VIe VME backplane does not support live insertion of power boards. You must de-energize the rack and discharge capacitors before removal.

Q: What is the typical lead time for this part?

A: We stock these on the shelf—usually ship within 24 hours. For international orders, add 3–5 days for customs.

Q: Does this board work with both Mark VIe and Mark VIeS (SIL-rated) cabinets?

A: Yes—with a caveat. SIL systems typically require redundant power supplies. The H2BMD can be used in those configurations, but ensure your backplane supports OR-ing diodes. We can help verify compatibility.

Q: What’s your return policy if this doesn’t fix my power-related fault?

A: If the board passes our QC test but doesn’t clear your fault, accept a return within 30 days provided no physical damage or overvoltage stress. We charge a 15% restocking fee if the fault was due to downstream short circuits or incorrect input voltage.
