The GE IS230TEASH4A is an Aero Emergency Trip Module for the GE Mark VIe control system. This is a specialized, DIN rail-mounted I/O module assembly designed for high-speed, safety-critical emergency shutdown applications in aeroderivative gas turbines.
Key Features
- Aero Emergency Trip: The “Aero” designation indicates this module is specifically configured for aeroderivative gas turbines. It’s a critical component of the safety system, designed to rapidly process signals that trigger a controlled shutdown, or “trip,” of the turbine to prevent damage or catastrophic failure.
- I/O Module Assembly: This is a complete, ready-to-install unit, consisting of both a terminal board (where field wiring is connected) and the electronic I/O pack that processes the signals.
- DIN Rail Mounting: The assembly is designed for standardized installation on a DIN rail, which simplifies wiring, saves space, and makes installation and maintenance more efficient.
- Mark VIe Integration: As part of the IS230 series, this assembly is a key component of the Mark VIe control platform, a system widely used for controlling gas and steam turbines.
Applications
The IS230TEASH4A is used in critical industrial settings where a reliable emergency shutdown system is non-negotiable.
- Power Generation: It is a core component in the emergency shutdown logic of aeroderivative gas turbines, which are commonly used in peaker plants and for mechanical drive applications. It monitors critical parameters like overspeed, excessive vibration, or high temperature.
- Oil and Gas: In facilities that use aeroderivative turbines for gas compression or power generation, this module provides the trip logic to ensure that in the event of an emergency, the system can be safely shut down.
- Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS): The module’s design and function make it suitable for use in safety-instrumented systems, where the goal is to bring a process to a safe state when dangerous conditions are met.
