The GE IS230TBCIH1C is a contact input assembly for the GE Mark VIe control system. This module operates in a simplex configuration, which means it’s a single, non-redundant unit, and is designed to read binary, or on/off, signals from various field devices.
Key Features
- Contact Input: The module’s primary function is to handle binary signals that represent a two-state condition (e.g., a switch is either open or closed). It acts as an interface that converts these physical states into a digital signal that the Mark VIe controller can understand.
- Simplex Configuration: The term “simplex” means there’s a single unit for each input point without a backup. This is a common and cost-effective approach for applications where a failure of an input signal won’t lead to a catastrophic event.
- Mark VIe Integration: As part of the IS230 series, this assembly is designed to seamlessly integrate with the Mark VIe control platform, a system widely used for controlling turbines in power generation plants.
Applications
The IS230TBCIH1C is used in various industrial settings that require reliable monitoring of on/off signals.
- Power Generation: It’s used in power plants to monitor the status of devices on gas and steam turbines, such as valve limit switches, motor run/stop indicators, and pressure switches.
- Oil and Gas: In refineries and offshore platforms, it helps monitor the open/closed status of valves, the run/stop status of pumps, and the state of emergency push-buttons.
- Industrial Automation: The module is a fundamental component in many manufacturing processes that rely on automated control for efficiency and safety.
