The GE IS230TBTCH2C is a dual-redundant thermocouple input assembly for the GE Mark VIe control system. This module is designed for high-reliability applications where a loss of temperature data would be catastrophic. The dual redundancy is a key feature that ensures continuous operation even if one of the modules fails.
Key Features
- Thermocouple Input: The module is specifically designed to work with thermocouples, which are sensors that generate a small voltage proportional to temperature. It accurately reads this signal and includes built-in cold junction compensation to ensure the temperature measurement is precise and reliable.
- Dual Redundancy: The part number indicates a dual assembly, meaning it contains two identical thermocouple input 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.
- 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 IS230TBTCH2C is vital in industrial settings where a loss of temperature data could lead to a catastrophic event.
- Power Generation: It is used in power plants to monitor critical temperatures on gas and steam turbines, such as exhaust gas temperatures and bearing 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 a safety risk.
