Features:
- High-speed probe processing supports turbine vibration and rotor-position protection calculations.
- Current-limited excitation helps contain a shorted probe supply without removing every measurement channel.
- TVIB buffered outputs can feed portable or permanent vibration-monitoring equipment alongside Mark VI protection.
IS200VVIBH1C derives peak-to-peak vibration from the maximum and minimum signal values collected during each sample period, then filters and scales the result for the configured displacement or velocity measurement.
In a TMR arrangement, the connected termination hardware can select the highest available -28 V DC bus through a diode high-select circuit. This keeps probe excitation available when one redundant supply path is lower or unavailable.
Mark VI can present total vibration, the 1X component, and 1X phase angle from IS200VVIBH1C data. The control platform uses those values for monitoring and protection, while detailed vibration analysis remains the role of dedicated condition-monitoring equipment.

Interfaces That Define an IS200VVIBH1C Replacement
- Rack relationship: the board occupies the VME processing layer of the Mark VI controller rather than serving as a field termination card.
- Termination pairing: probe wiring reaches IS200VVIBH1C through the applicable TVIB or DVIB termination arrangement.
- Sensor assignment: termination-board jumper positions distinguish seismic, Velomitor, Proximitor, and accelerometer paths before signals reach the board.
- Redundancy layout: simplex and TMR installations use different cable paths between terminal boards and the controller racks.
- External monitoring: optional TVIB connections can share buffered probe information with Bently Nevada equipment without replacing the Mark VI protection path.
How IS200VVIBH1C Builds Usable Vibration Data
- Displacement processing: maximum and minimum samples are subtracted to produce peak-to-peak shaft-motion values.
- Velocity processing: seismic and Velomitor signals are scaled for velocity monitoring after the selected filtering is applied.
- Phase reference: a Keyphasor pulse gives the controller a once-per-revolution reference for 1X magnitude and phase.
- Position tracking: DC gap information supports axial-position and eccentricity calculations in addition to dynamic vibration.
- Controller results: processed values are delivered to the Mark VI logic where limits, alarms, faults, and trips are evaluated.
Protection Decisions Supported by IS200VVIBH1C
- System limits: two configurable limit checks can be applied across the board points for monitored gap or motion conditions.
- TMR comparison: a difference limit identifies disagreement among redundant vibration inputs before voting masks a developing channel problem.
- Latched response: configured limits can retain an alarm indication so a brief excursion is not lost after the signal returns to normal.
- Hardware supervision: board diagnostics distinguish operating status from run and fail conditions through the rack-facing indicators.
- Protective escalation: the controller turns qualified measurement limits into alarm, fault, or trip action appropriate to the configured turbine function.
Turbine Protection Uses for IS200VVIBH1C
- Journal-bearing vibration: paired radial proximity probes let IS200VVIBH1C supply shaft displacement information in two directions for alarm and trip logic.
- Thrust-bearing protection: an axial probe tracks thrust-collar movement so the controller can detect excessive rotor position associated with bearing wear.
- Differential expansion: non-contact probes measure relative growth between the rotor and turbine casing during thermal changes.
- Turning-gear eccentricity: once-per-revolution shaft observations support eccentricity monitoring while the turbine rotates slowly on turning gear.
- Predictive maintenance: buffered TVIB outputs allow portable data collection while IS200VVIBH1C continues feeding the Mark VI protection system.
