Specific electrical and mechanical ratings depend on the exact configuration and suffix of the part; the original datasheet should be consulted for the definitive specification.
Maintenance & Diagnostics
Inspect terminals and connectors for corrosion or looseness, and confirm the module seats correctly in its carrier. Always de-energise the circuit and follow lock-out/tag-out before handling; refer to the official instruction bulletin for service procedures.
Sourcing & Procurement
When sourcing the DS200SIOBH1ABA, distinguish three supply tiers: (1) genuine GE stock from an authorised distributor; (2) compatible equivalents or surplus/NOS (new-old-stock) from third parties; (3) alternative parts offering equivalent function. Genuine supply carries the full warranty and traceability; compatible or alternative items may be cheaper but should be validated for form, fit, firmware and certification before use in a live system. PLCXpert publishes this page as an independent reference and does not sell the part — verify every claim with the manufacturer or your distributor.
Confirm mechanical and electrical compatibility with your GE product portfolio installation and the intended function. Lead times and pricing vary by region and lifecycle status; obtain a current quote from an authorised channel rather than relying on stale listings.

Specifications (source data)
SPECIFICATIONS Part Number: DS200SIOBH1ABA Manufacturer: General Electric Series: Mark V Product Type: VME Stand I/O Card
Twenty jumpers and three switch blocks with six switches each make up the GE I/O Control Board DS200SIOBH1ABA, which has a total of 18 switches. One LED and one 40-pin connector are also included. The factory settings are established on the jumpers on the GE I/O Control Board DS200SIOBH1ABA on the original board. Some jumpers are only supported in one position and cannot be changed.
When the board needs to be replaced, the best practice is to match the jumper positions on the old board with the jumpers on the new board. As a result, the board will behave consistently and support the drive's performance. Remove the old board from the drive by removing the screws that hold it in the board rack and removing the board with two hands. Make sure the board doesn't collide with any of the drive's other components. Flatten out a static protection bag on a clean, dry surface nearby. Place the old board on the bag. Slid out the replacement board from the sealed protective bag it was kept in. Place it next to the old board while carrying it with two hands. Set the switches to match the old board's switch placements.
DS200SIOBH1ABA Technical Specifications Manufacturer GE General Electric Series Mark V Part Number DS200SIOBH1ABA Functional Description VME Stand I/O Card Functional Acronym SIOB PCB Coating Conformal Coating Revision Quantity 3 Revisions Assembly Type Normal Assembly Mark V Series Grouping Group 1 About the DS200SIOBH1ABA This DS200SIOBH1ABA General Electric printed circuit board was originally manufactured for General Electric's Mark V Series, as mentioned above. The Mark V Series offered by General Electric has specific applications in the management and control systems of gas, steam, and wind turbines, as indicated by its full name as the Mark V Turbine Control System Series. The Mark V Series this DS200SIOBH1ABA printed circuit board belongs to is considered a legacy General Electric series, as it has been discontinued for manufacture in the years since its original production. While a legacy General Electric product series, the Mark V Series that this DS200SIOBH1ABA PCB belongs to is one of the more relatively recently-developed product lines utilizing General Electric's patented Speedtronic technology, which was first introduced with the rollout of the Mark I in the late 1960s. This DS200SIOBH1ABA printed circuit board or PCB for short is better-definable by its official functional product description as a SC2000 VME I/O Board, as it appears in original General Electric and Mark V Series instructional manual documentation. With this being true, this DS200SIOBH1ABA printed circuit board is not the original SC2000 VME I/O Board to exist within the Mark V Turbine Control System Series; that would be the DS200SIOBH1 parent product missing this DS200SIOBH1ABA PCB's extensive revision history.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
As with any Mark V Turbine Control System Series product, this DS200SIOBH1ABA printed circuit board makes use of its own series of necessary hardware components and component specifications to gain its intended SC2000 VME I/O Board functionality. As indicated in this DS200SIOBH1ABA PCB's description as a VME I/O Board, this DS200SIOBH1ABA product is intended to mount in the VME Rack installation assembly, specifically on the VME P1 connector, as it occupies one full VME Slot. The GE I/O Control Board DS200SIOBH1ABA features twenty jumpers and 3 switch blocks with 6 switches in each block for a total of 18 switches. It is also populated with one LED and one 40-pin connector. The jumpers on the GE I/O Control Board DS200SIOBH1ABA on the original board come with the jumpers set for the factory defaults. Before you install the board you can review the information in the printed material to learn about the alternate settings for the jumpers and how they change the operation of the board. Some of the jumpers only have one supported position and so cannot be changed. One LED diagnostic indicator is included on the base circuit board of this SIOB-abbreviated General Electric product offering, as mentioned before. This LED glows when encountered with a condition in which the DS200SIOBH1ABA PCB is accessed by the greater Mark V Series VME rack; in other words, this LED glows to indicate normative functional status during use.
When you find that the DS200SIOBH1ABA board must be replaced, the best practice is to set the jumpers in the new board to match the jumper positions on the old board. This is part of a detailed installation strategy developed by General Electric and relayed in this DS200SIOBH1ABA PCB's original instructional manuals. With exact jumper settings matching, the DS200SIOBH1ABA board will act the same and support the drive performance. To install the DS200SIOBH1ABA replacement board, first remove the old board by removing the screws that hold it in the board rack and using two hands to remove the board from the drive. Use care to keep the board from hitting the other components in the drive. Find a clean and dry surface nearby and flatten out a static protective bag, before placing the old board on the bag. Open the sealed protective bag that contains the replacement board and slid out the board. Carry it with two hands and place it next to the old board. Finally, set the switches to match the switch positions on the old board. Before making any ultimate purchase decision on this DS200SIOBH1ABA product offering, it is important to realize that this Mark V Turbine Control System Series product offering is a revised version of the original DS200SIOBH1 parent product. With this in mind, the DS200SIOBH1ABA PCB will feature altered performance specifications and dimensions from those originally present in its original instructional manual documentation.
