The GE IS230TBAOH2C is a dual-redundant analog I/O assembly for the GE Mark VIe control system. This module is designed for high-reliability applications where a loss of control signal would be catastrophic, ensuring continuous operation even if one of the modules fails.
Key Features
- Analog I/O: The module handles both analog inputs (from sensors like pressure, temperature, and flow transmitters) and analog outputs (to actuators and control valves). This makes it a versatile component for controlling and monitoring continuous processes.
- Dual Redundancy: The part number indicates a dual assembly, meaning it contains two identical analog I/O modules operating in parallel. 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, which is essential for critical applications.
- 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 and control needed for critical analog loops.
Applications
The IS230TBAOH2C is used in industrial settings where the loss of an analog signal could lead to a catastrophic event or significant downtime.
- Power Generation: It is used in power plants to monitor and control critical variables on gas and steam turbines, such as fuel flow rates, lubrication oil pressure, and valve positions. The redundancy ensures that even if a module fails, the turbine continues to operate safely.
- Oil and Gas: In refineries and offshore platforms, it helps manage critical process variables where continuous operation is essential, such as the level of fluids in tanks, pressure in pipelines, and the position of control valves.
- Critical Process Control: The module is a fundamental component in any process where a failure in monitoring or control could result in significant equipment damage or safety risks.
