Product Brief Description

The GE 369B1869G0008 is an Analog Input Terminal Board designed to be an integral part of the GE Mark VIe control system. Unlike the previous module which handled mA and V, this board is specifically engineered to interface with temperature sensors, including thermocouples (TC) and Resistance Temperature Detectors (RTD). With a 16-channel capacity, it provides a high-density, reliable connection point for monitoring temperature in industrial environments.

Detailed Product Description

The 369B1869G0008 serves as the physical interface between the control system and various temperature sensors. It is a terminal board that mounts onto a DIN rail or a cabinet base and connects to a dedicated I/O pack. The board’s primary function is to accept signals from up to 16 thermocouples or RTDs and transmit the conditioned signals to the system’s processor.

  • Thermocouples (TC): The board is equipped to handle the very small voltage changes produced by thermocouples, which measure temperature based on the Seebeck effect.
  • Resistance Temperature Detectors (RTD): It also accommodates RTDs, which measure temperature by correlating resistance changes with temperature. This typically includes support for common types like Pt100.

The board’s design includes circuitry for noise suppression and signal conditioning, ensuring that the raw signals from the sensors are accurately and reliably converted for the control system’s use.

Functional Role in a System

Within a GE Mark VIe system, the 369B1869G0008 acts as a crucial link for thermal monitoring. When installed, it provides the physical terminals for connecting up to 16 temperature sensors. The board then works with its I/O pack to convert the resistance or millivolt signals into a digital format that the controller can understand. This information is vital for maintaining process safety, optimizing performance, and providing diagnostic data, especially in systems where temperature is a critical variable.

Common Applications

This terminal board is essential for industries where temperature monitoring is a fundamental part of operations. Its applications include:

  • Power Generation: Measuring turbine and generator winding temperatures, as well as steam and gas temperatures in a power plant.
  • Oil and Gas: Monitoring temperatures in pipelines, compressors, and processing units to ensure operational integrity and safety.
  • Chemical Processing: Used to monitor reaction vessel temperatures, ensuring processes are maintained within precise thermal limits.
  • Heavy Manufacturing: Part of systems that monitor the temperature of critical machinery to prevent overheating and predict maintenance needs.
