Functional Description
IS200SHRAS1A is an Analog Input/Output Terminal Board developed by GE. It is a part of Mark VIe control system. The Highway Addressable Remote Transducer (HART) Enabled Analog Input/Output (SHRA) terminal board is a sophisticated component designed to seamlessly integrate analog inputs and outputs within a control system. This compact board, specifically engineered for HART-enabled applications, plays a pivotal role in facilitating communication between field devices and the control system.
Compact Design and Functionality
- Analog Inputs and Outputs: Serves as a compact hub for analog signals, accommodating 10 analog inputs and two analog outputs. This design caters to a wide range of applications that demand precise analog measurements and control.
- Connection to PHRA Pack: Seamlessly connects to the PHRA pack, forming a crucial link in the communication chain. This connection allows the transfer of HART messages between the PHRA and HART-enabled field devices, fostering a responsive and interconnected system.
Product Features
- Compatibility with Various Transmitters: The 10 analog inputs are capable of two-wire, three-wire, four-wire, or externally powered transmitters. This adaptability ensures that the system can integrate seamlessly with diverse transducer types, enhancing its applicability across different industries.
- Two 4-20 mA Analog Outputs: The terminal board is equipped with two analog outputs, both within the 4-20 mA range. This standard current loop configuration allows for precise control and monitoring of connected devices.
- HART-Enabled Communication: The board's HART-enabled capabilities enable it to facilitate bi-directional communication between the control system and HART-enabled field devices. This feature enhances the system's diagnostic capabilities and allows for advanced monitoring and control functionalities.
- High-Density Euro-Block Type Terminal Blocks: The SHRA terminal board adopts high-density Euro-block type terminal blocks, providing a robust and organized interface for wiring connections. This design choice ensures a reliable and efficient terminal configuration.
- On-Board ID Chip: An on-board ID chip is integrated into the terminal board, allowing it to be identified by the PHRA for system diagnostic purposes. This feature enhances the system's ability to monitor and troubleshoot potential issues, contributing to overall system reliability.
- Simplex Version Only: The SHRA terminal board is available exclusively in a simplex version, providing a straightforward configuration for applications where redundancy is not a primary concern.
Configuration
- The configuration of the SHRA terminal board is a critical step in ensuring its seamless integration into a control or monitoring system. The configuration process primarily involves the use of jumpers, allowing users to customize the terminal board to match the specific requirements of their application.
- Jumper Configuration:
- Jumpers JP1A through JP8A: Current or Voltage Input Selection
- These jumpers determine whether the analog inputs are configured for current or voltage input. Refer to the installation diagram for the specific location of these jumpers.
- Select the appropriate jumper configuration based on the type of input signals expected.
- Jumpers JP1B through JP8B: Return Connection Selection
- These jumpers determine whether the return is connected to common or left open.
- Depending on the system requirements, choose the appropriate jumper configuration to establish the desired return connection.
- Jumpers JP9A and JP10A: 1 mA or 20 mA Input Current Selection
- These jumpers are responsible for selecting the input current range, allowing users to choose between 1 mA and 20 mA.
- Configure these jumpers based on the specific input current requirements of the application.
- Jumpers JP9B and JP10B: Return Connection Selection for Current Input
- Similar to JP1B through JP8B, these jumpers are associated with the return connection for the current input. They determine whether the return is connected to common or left open.
- Choose the appropriate configuration based on the return connection requirements for the current input.
- PHRA Configuration: Beyond the mentioned jumpers, all other configuration settings for the PHRA are handled using the ToolboxST application. This application provides a user-friendly interface for configuring and fine-tuning the performance of the PHRA.
- Validate Configuration Settings: After configuring the jumpers, it is essential to validate the settings to ensure they align with the intended configuration. This step helps prevent operational issues and ensures the terminal board operates as expected.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is IS200SHRAS1A?
It is an Analog Input/Output Terminal Board developed by GE
Can I choose between current or voltage inputs on the terminal board?
Yes, the terminal board offers flexibility in selecting between current and voltage inputs. This choice is made using jumpers on the board, allowing users to configure the inputs based on their specific application requirements.
Is HART communication supported on all types of inputs?
No, HART communication is only possible when the inputs are set as 4-20 mA. If the input is configured as 5 V dc or 1 mA, HART communication will not take place. Ensure that the inputs are set to 4-20 mA to enable HART communication.
What are the specifications of the analog output circuits?
The two analog output circuits on the terminal board are configured for 4-20 mA. This current loop configuration is standard for analog output signals, offering precise control and monitoring capabilities.
Can I use the terminal board for applications requiring redundancy?
No, the terminal board, with its single cable connection, is not designed for redundancy configurations. It is intended for simplex applications where redundancy is not a primary consideration.
