الوصف
The GE IS230TDBTH2A is a simplex discrete I/O assembly for the GE Mark VIe control system. The part number indicates that it is a complete, pre-configured, ready-to-install unit designed for non-redundant discrete I/O applications using a 24 VDC power supply.
Key Features
- Discrete I/O: The assembly handles binary signals, meaning it processes on/off commands and statuses. This includes both inputs (reading signals from devices like switches) and outputs (sending commands to devices like solenoids).
- Simplex Configuration: The term “simplex” indicates a single, non-redundant unit. This is a common and cost-effective approach for applications where a single point of failure won’t lead to a catastrophic event.
- 24 VDC Power: The “24VDC” designation indicates the specific voltage rating, which is a common industrial control voltage.
- Assembly: The part number signifies a complete unit, consisting of both the terminal board (TDBTH2A) where the field wiring is connected and the electronic I/O pack (PDIOH1A) that processes the signals.
- Mark VIe Integration: As part of the IS230 series, this assembly is a key component of the Mark VIe control platform, which is widely used for controlling turbines in power generation and other heavy industries.
Applications
The IS230TDBTH2A is used in a wide range of industrial settings that require reliable digital control and monitoring.
- Power Generation: It’s used in power plants to monitor the status of various devices on gas and steam turbines (e.g., valve limit switches) and to control actuators (e.g., solenoid valves).
- Industrial Automation: The module is a fundamental component in many manufacturing processes that rely on automated control for efficiency and safety.
- Oil and Gas: In refineries and offshore platforms, it helps manage the run/stop status of pumps and the open/closed status of valves.
