Product Brief Description

The GE 369B1867G5001 is a BAI20 Analog Input Base designed for use with industrial control systems. Its primary function is to serve as the physical interface between the system’s controller and various temperature sensors in the field. This specific model is built to handle inputs from Thermocouple (TC) and Resistance Temperature Detector (RTD) sensors, providing a robust solution for accurate temperature measurement and monitoring in industrial environments.

Detailed Product Description

This module, identified as a BAI20 Analog Input Base, is a crucial component in a distributed control system. It’s essentially a signal conditioner and digitizer for temperature data. When connected to a system’s backplane, it receives low-level analog signals from up to 16 separate channels (16CHs) of either Thermocouples (TC) or Resistance Temperature Detectors (RTD). The module then processes these signals, converts them into a digital format that the controller can understand, and transmits the data. This process ensures that the control system gets accurate, real-time temperature readings from critical points in a process.

Functional Role in a System

The 369B1867G5001 is vital for any system that needs to monitor temperature as a key process variable. By installing this module in a controller’s chassis, engineers can connect up to 16 temperature sensors, such as those monitoring a reactor’s temperature, a furnace’s heat, or the cooling system of a machine. This allows the system to make real-time decisions, such as activating an alarm, shutting down a process, or adjusting a heater, based on the temperature data. It effectively bridges the gap between the physical, analog world of temperature sensing and the digital, logical world of the control system.

Common Applications

This module is widely used in industries where temperature control and monitoring are critical for product quality, process efficiency, and safety. Applications include:

  • Process Control: In chemical plants and refineries for monitoring reaction temperatures.
  • Power Generation: For monitoring temperatures in turbines and boilers.
  • Food and Beverage: To ensure proper cooking, pasteurization, and storage temperatures.
  • Manufacturing: For monitoring temperature in ovens, kilns, and other thermal processes.
