Description
GE IS200AEPAH1AFD Product Specification
Product Overview
The GE IS200AEPAH1AFD is a high-reliability analog input module designed for GE’s Mark VIe Turbine Control Platform, catering to mission-critical industrial automation systems. Engineered to process continuous voltage and current signals from field sensors, the GE IS200AEPAH1AFD serves as a vital interface between analog field devices and the turbine control system, enabling precise monitoring of parameters like temperature, pressure, and flow rate in power generation, oil and gas, and heavy manufacturing sectors. As part of GE’s IS200 series, this module combines robust hardware with advanced signal conditioning to ensure seamless data acquisition in harsh operational environments.
Featuring 16 channels of analog input (AI) with configurable ranges (0–10 VDC, 4–20 mA), the GE IS200AEPAH1AFD integrates a 16-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) for high-resolution signal processing. Its isolated channels minimize cross-talk and electromagnetic interference (EMI), ensuring measurement accuracy within ±0.1% of full scale. The module’s compact design (178 mm × 102 mm × 254 mm) and rugged metal enclosure allow for easy integration into rack-mounted control panels, while its wide operating temperature range (-40°C to +70°C) makes it suitable for extreme industrial conditions.
In automation architectures, the GE IS200AEPAH1AFD acts as a frontline data acquisition component, transmitting real-time sensor feedback to the main control processor. Its compatibility with GE’s Proficy software suite enables remote configuration of channel parameters, alarm thresholds, and diagnostic routines, reducing maintenance downtime. By combining high-precision signal conversion with built-in self-diagnostic capabilities, the module empowers engineers to optimize process control, enhance system reliability, and comply with industry standards for critical infrastructure management.

Main Features and Advantages
High-Resolution Signal Processing: The GE IS200AEPAH1AFD’s 16-bit ADC ensures precise conversion of analog signals, making it ideal for applications requiring fine-grained measurement, such as turbine temperature monitoring or pressure regulation in refinery processes. Its channel isolation (500 Vrms) prevents signal degradation, maintaining accuracy even in high-noise environments.
Configurable Input Flexibility: With support for both voltage and current inputs, the module adapts to diverse sensor types without hardware modifications. Engineers can configure each channel individually via GE’s TurboGear software, enabling mixed-signal applications (e.g., integrating RTDs and pressure transducers in the same system).
Robust Industrial Design: Built with a reinforced metal casing and conformal-coated PCBs, the GE IS200AEPAH1AFD resists dust, moisture, and EMI, ensuring reliable operation in harsh settings like offshore platforms or steel mills. Its wide temperature range eliminates the need for environmental conditioning, reducing installation costs.
Proactive Diagnostic Capabilities: Integrated self-test (BIST) functions monitor channel health, power supply stability, and thermal conditions, with fault alerts sent via front-panel LEDs and the control system’s HMI. The module stores diagnostic logs for post-fault analysis, minimizing mean time to repair (MTTR) in critical applications.
Seamless System Integration: As part of GE’s Mark VIe platform, the GE IS200AEPAH1AFD connects directly to the system’s backplane, enabling high-speed data transfer to the CPU without additional interface modules. This integration streamlines control architecture and supports scalable I/O expansion for growing automation needs.
