Product Description

Overview

The GE IS200STAIH2ACB (IS230SNAIH2A) is a Simplex Analog Input Terminal Board engineered for the Mark VIe control system. It provides a robust interface for connecting multiple analog field sensors—such as pressure, temperature, and flow transmitters—to the control system's I/O packs.

This board supports flexible jumper-configurable input settings, features onboard diagnostics, and allows compact DIN-rail installation, making it ideal for turbine control, manufacturing, and transportation applications.
