الوصف

The GE IS230TCISH9C is a triple-modular redundant (TMR) contact input assembly for the GE Mark VIe control system, specifically certified for use in Safety Integrity Level (SIL) applications. This assembly is designed for high-reliability, safety-critical applications, handling on/off signals in a fault-tolerant manner.


 

Key Features

 

  • TMR (Triple-Modular Redundant): This is the most critical feature. The TMR configuration uses three identical I/O packs operating in parallel. A voting algorithm compares the inputs from all three packs, ensuring that the control system receives the correct information even if one or two modules fail. This redundancy is the core of its high-reliability design.
  • SIL Certified: This assembly has been certified to meet specific Safety Integrity Level (SIL) requirements. SIL is a measure of the reliability of a safety function. A SIL-certified component is suitable for use in safety-instrumented systems (SIS) where a failure could lead to a dangerous situation, and the certification provides a quantitative measure of its performance in a safety-related function.
  • Contact Input: The assembly handles binary (on/off) signals from devices like switches and push-buttons.
  • Assembly: The part number signifies a complete, ready-to-install unit, consisting of both a terminal board and the electronic I/O packs.
  • 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 and other heavy industries.
