GE IS230TCISH6CAX DIN RAIL MODULE I/O MODULE (ATEX)

 

The IS230TCISH6CAX is used in mission-critical industrial settings where the loss of a digital input signal could lead to a catastrophic event, especially in hazardous environments.

  • Power Generation: It is a core component in power plants for monitoring the status of critical devices on gas and steam turbines, such as emergency trip buttons and fire detectors in hazardous areas.
  • Oil and Gas: In refineries and offshore platforms, it monitors the status of emergency shutdown valves, fire and gas detectors, and other critical discrete signals where the ATEX rating is a safety requirement.
  • Safety-Critical Systems: The module is integral to safety systems where a failure to monitor a digital signal could result in equipment damage or a safety risk.

الوصف

The GE IS230TCISH6CAX is a triple-modular redundant (TMR) contact input module assembly for the GE Mark VIe control system. The “AX” in the part number indicates that the module is certified for use in potentially explosive atmospheres as per ATEX standards. This complete unit is designed for high-reliability contact input applications using a 125 VDC power supply in hazardous locations.


 

Key Features

 

  • Triple-Modular Redundant (TMR): The TMR configuration uses three identical I/O packs operating in parallel. This design provides exceptional fault tolerance. The system employs a voting algorithm to compare the inputs from all three packs, ensuring that the control system receives the correct information even if one or two modules fail.
  • ATEX Certification: The “AX” signifies that the module has been certified for safe operation in hazardous environments where flammable gases, vapors, mists, or dust may be present. This is a critical safety requirement in industries like oil and gas.
  • Contact Input: The assembly handles binary (on/off) signals from field devices like switches and push-buttons.
  • 125 VDC Power: The “125VDC” designation indicates the specific voltage rating, which is common in many industrial control systems.
  • Assembly: The part number signifies a complete, ready-to-install unit, consisting of both a terminal board and the electronic I/O packs that process the signals.
