The GE IS230SSCAH2A is a Serial Communication Module for the GE Mark VIe control system. It’s a terminal board assembly used to enable communication with other devices using serial protocols.
Key Features and Functionality
- Serial Communication: This module is designed to facilitate serial communication, which is a method of transmitting data one bit at a time over a single wire. This allows the Mark VIe controller to connect to a wide range of external systems and devices that use protocols like RS-232 and RS-485.
- Terminal Board: The module functions as a terminal board, which is the physical interface where field wires are terminated. This provides a secure and organized connection point for the serial communication cables.
- Mark VIe Integration: As part of the IS230 series, this module is a key component of the Mark VIe platform. It integrates seamlessly with the main controller to provide data exchange capabilities.
- System Integration: It serves as a bridge, allowing the control system to send data to and receive data from other systems, such as a plant’s main DCS (Distributed Control System) or SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) system.
Applications
The IS230SSCAH2A is used in any industrial setting where the Mark VIe control system needs to exchange data with external systems.
- Plant-Wide Control: It’s used to connect the turbine control system to a higher-level plant control system, allowing operators to centrally monitor and manage the turbine.
- Data Logging and Reporting: The module can be used to send operational data to historian or data logging systems for analysis and performance
