الوصف
The GE IS230TGNAH2A is a triple-modular redundant (TMR) Generator PLU 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 high-reliability generator control. It includes the TGNAH1A terminal board and a PGENH1A I/O pack.
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 speed and position readings from all three packs, ensuring that the control system receives the correct information even if one or two modules fail. This redundancy is crucial for preventing a generator trip due to a single component failure.
- Generator PLU: The assembly is specifically designed to interface with a Generator PLU (Pickup Loop Unit), a type of sensor used for precise speed and position sensing. This information is essential for generator control and protection.
- Assembly: The part number signifies a complete unit, consisting of both the terminal board (TGNAH1A) where the field wiring is terminated and the electronic I/O pack (PGENH1A) 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 and generators in power generation.
Applications
The IS230TGNAH2A is used in mission-critical power generation settings where the reliable and accurate measurement of generator speed and position is non-negotiable.
- Power Generation: It is a core component in a generator’s control system, where it provides critical speed and position feedback for starting, synchronization, and normal operation. The TMR configuration ensures that a sensor or module failure will not lead to a loss of control or a dangerous overspeed condition.
- Safety Systems: The module is integral to the generator’s protection system, providing a reliable input for trip logic that shuts down the unit in a controlled manner if an overspeed condition is detected.
