Product Brief Description

The GE 369B1868G5001, also known as the BAI10 Analog Input Base, is a fundamental component within the GE Mark VIe control system platform. This unit serves as an I/O base for analog input modules, specifically designed to handle milliamperes (mA) and voltage (V) signals. With its 16-channel capacity, it provides the physical foundation for the termination of a variety of general-purpose analog process signals, offering a robust and modular solution for industrial applications.

Detailed Product Description

The 369B1868G5001 is a crucial part of a modular I/O system, providing a secure and stable interface for analog input modules. It is not the terminal board itself, but the base unit onto which the terminal board (like the G0008) would mount. It is engineered to support the connection of standard industrial sensors and transmitters, accommodating both:

  • Current (mA): It supports standard current loops, such as 4-20 mA or 0-20 mA, which are ideal for long-distance signal transmission due to their resistance to electrical noise.
  • Voltage (V): The base unit also supports various voltage input ranges (e.g., 0-10 VDC, +/-10 VDC) suitable for applications where signals are transmitted over shorter distances.

This base is a 16-channel unit (16CHs), designed to work in concert with a dedicated analog input module. The combination of the base and the module provides noise suppression and signal conditioning, ensuring that the analog data from the field is accurately and reliably converted for the control system.

Functional Role in a System

The 369B1868G5001 is the foundational hardware that allows a GE Mark VIe control system to interface with the physical world. It acts as the “docking station” for the analog input terminal board. By installing this base, engineers can securely mount the necessary modules and connect up to 16 sensors, such as those for pressure, flow, or temperature. The base unit, along with its corresponding module, ensures that field data is accurately captured, conditioned, and transmitted to the central controller, which then uses this information for process control, safety, and efficiency.

Common Applications

This module is a core component in various industrial automation and control systems, particularly in industries that rely on precise and reliable analog measurements. Its applications are similar to those of the terminal board it supports, including:

  • Power Generation: Monitoring boiler pressure, turbine speed, and temperature.
  • Oil and Gas: Integration with sensors for monitoring flow rates, tank levels, and pipeline pressure.
  • Manufacturing: Used for process control applications involving variables like temperature, speed, and position.
  • Water and Wastewater: Part of the infrastructure for monitoring levels in reservoirs and pressure in water distribution networks.
