Product Brief Description

The GE 369B1867G5002 BAI21 is an Analog Input Base specifically designed for use in industrial control systems, particularly with the GE Mark VIe platform. Its primary function is to serve as the physical connection point for temperature sensors, specifically Thermocouples (TC) and Resistance Temperature Detectors (RTD). This provides a high-density, 16-channel interface for reliable and accurate temperature monitoring in various industrial processes.

Detailed Product Description

This module, identified by part number 369B1867G5002, is a crucial component for a distributed control system using the GE Mark VI or VIe series. It is a high-density base unit that interfaces with specialized temperature sensors. It supports two main types of temperature measurement devices:

  • Thermocouples (TCs): These sensors generate a small voltage that changes with temperature. They are durable and suitable for a wide range of temperatures.
  • Resistance Temperature Detectors (RTDs): These sensors change resistance as the temperature changes. They are known for their high accuracy and stability.

The module is designed to accept inputs from up to 16 separate channels (16CHs), converting the analog signals from these sensors into a digital format that the controller can process. It also provides the necessary signal conditioning and protection to ensure the integrity of the data in harsh industrial environments.
