The GE IS230SRTD2ASRTD2AG11 is a dual-redundant RTD Input Assembly for the GE Mark VIe control system. This module is designed to provide highly reliable and fault-tolerant temperature measurement from Resistance Temperature Detector (RTD) sensors. The dual configuration is a key feature for critical applications where uninterrupted data is essential.
Key Features
- RTD Input: The module is specifically designed to read signals from RTD sensors, which measure temperature based on changes in electrical resistance. It accurately converts this resistance into a temperature value that the controller can use for monitoring and control.
- Dual Redundancy: The part number indicates a dual assembly, meaning it contains two identical RTD input modules. This configuration ensures that if one module fails, the other can take over seamlessly without any interruption to the process. This redundancy is a core component of the Mark VIe’s high-reliability architecture.
- Mark VIe Integration: This assembly is a key part of the Mark VIe platform, ensuring seamless integration and compatibility with the main controller. It provides the high-speed and reliable data acquisition needed for critical temperature loops.
Applications
The IS230SRTD2ASRTD2AG11 is vital in industrial settings where a loss of temperature data could lead to a catastrophic event.
- Power Generation: It’s used in power plants to monitor critical temperatures on gas and steam turbines, such as bearing temperatures and exhaust gas temperatures. The redundancy ensures continuous monitoring, which is essential for safe and efficient operation.
- Oil and Gas: In refineries and offshore platforms, it’s used to measure temperatures in pipes, reactors, and furnaces, helping to ensure process safety and efficiency. The dual-redundant nature provides an extra layer of protection against unexpected failures.
- Critical Process Control: The module is a fundamental component in any process where a failure to monitor temperature could result in significant equipment damage or safety risks.
