الوصف

The GE IS230SCISH1A is a safety-rated, discrete input module for the GE Mark VIe control system. This assembly is designed to read binary or on/off signals from field devices in critical applications. As a SIL-rated component, it ensures a high level of functional safety and reliability, making it suitable for systems that require robust protection.


 

Key Features and Functionality

 

  • Discrete Inputs: The module’s primary function is to process discrete inputs, which are digital signals representing a two-state condition (e.g., open/closed switch, on/off relay). It acts as an interface between the physical world (like a limit switch on a turbine valve) and the control system’s digital logic.
  • Safety Integrity Level (SIL): The SIL rating is the most important feature. It signifies that the module has been rigorously designed and tested to meet specific safety standards, with a low probability of failing in a dangerous way. This makes it a core component of Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS).
  • Assembly: The term “Assembly” implies that the part number includes not just the I/O module but also its terminal board and possibly other components, making it a complete, ready-to-install unit for the Mark VIe system.
