GE IS230SHRAH2A HART ANALOG DIN RAIL MODULE

The IS230SHRAH2A is used in industrial settings where enhanced communication with field devices is beneficial.

  • Process Industries: In chemical plants, refineries, and pharmaceutical facilities, it is used to monitor critical process variables from smart transmitters. The HART functionality allows technicians to perform remote diagnostics and calibration without having to physically go out to the field.
  • Power Generation: It can be used to monitor parameters in a power plant from devices that support HART, providing a more comprehensive view of the instrument’s health beyond just the primary analog signal.

الوصف

The GE IS230SHRAH2A is a HART-enabled analog I/O module for a GE control system, likely the Mark VIe. This module is designed for mounting on a DIN rail and serves as an interface between the control system and “smart” field devices. It can read and send analog signals while simultaneously communicating digitally over the same wires using the HART protocol.


 

Key Features

 

  • HART Communication: This is the most significant feature. HART (Highway Addressable Remote Transducer) is a protocol that superimposes a digital signal on a standard 4-20mA analog current loop. This allows the control system to receive the primary process variable (e.g., pressure or temperature) as well as access additional digital information from the smart field device. This diagnostic data is invaluable for troubleshooting, remote configuration, and predictive maintenance.
  • Analog I/O: The module is versatile, capable of handling both analog inputs (from sensors) and analog outputs (to actuators or control valves). This makes it a multi-purpose component for various control loops.
  • DIN Rail Mounting: The “DIN Rail Module” designation means it is designed for standardized installation within a control cabinet. This helps save space, simplifies wiring, and makes maintenance more efficient.
