Overview

The IS200STAIH2A is an automation component from GE. The IS200STAIH2A is a Simplex Analog Input (STAI) terminal board designed for Mark VIe distributed control systems. It is a compact board that attaches to the p.

Application & Technical Notes

As an automation component, the IS200STAIH2A is intended for deployment in panel-based control cabinets and machine enclosures where the GE product portfolio equipment is installed. It performs a defined automation function within the control system and is selected to match the installed GE platform.

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 IS200STAIH2A, 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:** IS200STAIH2A * **Manufacturer:** General Electric * **Series:** Mark VIe * **Product Type:** Simplex Analog Input Terminal Board * **Number of Channels:** 12 * **Maximum Lead Resistance:** 15 $\Omega$ * **Outputs:** 24 V DC * **Size:** 15.9 cm high x 10.2 cm wide * **Operating Temperature:** -30 to +65 °C * **Technology:** Surface mount * **Repair Time:** 3-7 Days * **Country of Origin:** USA * **Availability:** In Stock * **Manual:** GEH-6721L

## Functional Description

The IS200STAIH2A is a Simplex Analog Input (STAI) terminal board designed for Mark VIe distributed control systems. It is a compact board that attaches to the pack, supporting 10 analog inputs and 2 analog outputs. It is compatible with two-wire, three-wire, four-wire, or externally powered transmitters. The board offers jumper-configurable analog outputs (two 0-20 mA outputs, with one supporting 0-200 mA). It is available only in simplex form and includes an onboard ID chip for system diagnostics.

## Installation

The board can be mounted on a DIN rail using a sheet metal carrier and a plastic insulator, or fastened directly to a cabinet via a sheet metal assembly.

* **Terminal Blocks:** There are two varieties: * **STAI 1:** Features a permanently mounted 48-terminal block. * **STAI 2:** Features a right-angled header that accepts various pluggable terminal blocks (total 48 terminals).

* **Wiring:** Typically uses #18 AWG shielded twisted pair wires, with an I/O cable shield terminal provided next to the blocks.

## Supported Input and Output Types

* Two-wire, three-wire, and four-wire transmitters with analog input. * Externally powered transmitters with analog input. * 5 V and 10 V DC analog inputs. * 0-20 mA analog output. * 0-200 mA analog output.

## Operation and Diagnostics

* **Power:** Transducers have access to 24 V DC power on the terminal board. * **Flexibility:** Jumpers allow for selection between current or voltage inputs. One analog output circuit can be adjusted for 4-20 mA or 0-200 mA. Note that due to the single cable connection, it cannot be used for TMR applications. * **Diagnostics:** An ID device (read-only chip) encodes the serial number, board type, revision, and connector location. The I/O processor generates a hardware incompatibility fault if a mismatch is detected. Additionally, the I/O processor monitors output current via a series resistor; if an output becomes unhealthy, a diagnostic alarm is generated.

## Configuration

Jumpers are used to configure the board settings:

* **J1A–J8A:** Select current or voltage input. * **J1B–J8B:** Determine if the return is linked to common or left open. * **J9A and J10A:** Choose input current between 1 mA and 20 mA. * **J9B and J10B:** Determine if the return is linked to common or left open. * **J0:** Adjusts Output 1 between 20 mA and 200 mA.
