الوصف
The GE IS230TNEAH5AAX is a DIN rail-mounted I/O module assembly 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 as per ATEX standards. It is an assembly that includes a PPRAS1BAX I/O pack.
Key Features
- I/O Module Assembly: This is a ready-to-install unit, consisting of both a terminal board (where field wiring is connected) and the electronic I/O pack (PPRAS1BAX) that processes the signals.
- ATEX Certification: 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 requirement in industries like oil and gas, petrochemicals, and power generation.
- DIN Rail Mounting: The assembly is designed for standardized installation on a DIN rail, which is a common practice in industrial control cabinets. This simplifies wiring, saves space, and makes installation and maintenance more efficient.
- 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.
Applications
The IS230TNEAH5AAX is used in various industrial settings that require a reliable I/O interface in potentially explosive environments.
- Power Generation: It can be used to monitor and control various signals related to turbine operation in a hazardous area, such as a natural gas-fueled turbine.
- Oil and Gas: In refineries and offshore platforms, it’s used to manage and process signals for pumps, valves, and other critical process equipment in hazardous areas where the ATEX certification is a safety requirement.
