الوصف
The GE IS230TNAIH2CAX is an ATEX-certified, DIN rail-mounted Analog I/O Module 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. This module handles both analog inputs and outputs and is designed for use in hazardous locations.
Key Features
- Analog I/O: The module handles both continuous, variable signals (like those from pressure or temperature transmitters) and analog output signals (to control devices like variable speed drives).
- ATEX Certified: 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.
- I/O Module: This is the core electronic component of an I/O assembly, containing the circuitry that processes and conditions signals. It works in conjunction with a terminal board where the field wiring is terminated.
- DIN Rail Mounting: The module is designed to be mounted on a DIN rail, a standardized mounting rail used in industrial control cabinets. This simplifies installation, saves space, and makes the system modular and easy to maintain.
- Mark VIe Integration: As part of the IS230 series, this module 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 IS230TNAIH2CAX is used in a wide range of industrial settings where a reliable analog interface is needed in hazardous environments.
- Oil and Gas: In refineries and offshore platforms, it provides a stable and organized connection for the wiring of pumps, valves, and other critical process equipment in potentially explosive atmospheres.
- Power Generation: It is used in power plants to connect the extensive wiring from various sensors and devices on a gas or steam turbine to the control system, especially in areas where combustible fuels are present.
- Industrial Automation: It is a fundamental building block in automated manufacturing processes that require precise and reliable control in hazardous locations.
