The GE IS230STAIH2A is a basic analog I/O assembly for the GE Mark VIe control system. This module, which operates in a simplex configuration, is a fundamental component for managing analog signals from and to a process.
Key Features and Functionality
- Analog I/O: The module is designed to handle both analog inputs and outputs. It receives continuous signals from field devices like pressure, temperature, and flow transmitters (inputs) and sends continuous signals to devices like valves and actuators (outputs). This makes it a versatile tool for controlling and monitoring processes.
- Simplex Configuration: The term “simplex” means the module is a single, non-redundant unit. This is a common and cost-effective solution for applications where a single point of failure won’t lead to a catastrophic event. It’s often used for less critical monitoring or control loops.
- Mark VIe Integration: As a core part of the IS230 series, this assembly is designed to seamlessly integrate with the Mark VIe control platform. It acts as a reliable interface between the physical process and the main controller, converting analog signals into digital data and vice-versa.
Applications
The IS230STAIH2A is used in various industrial settings that require reliable analog control and monitoring.
- Power Generation: It’s used in power plants to monitor and control continuous variables on gas and steam turbines, such as fuel flow rates, lubrication oil pressure, and valve positions.
- Oil and Gas: In refineries and offshore platforms, it helps manage critical process variables, including the level of fluids in tanks, pressure in pipelines, and the position of control valves.
- Industrial Automation: The module is a fundamental component in many manufacturing processes that rely on automated control for efficiency and product quality.
