The GE IS230TNPAH1AAX is a specialized, ATEX-certified Primary Trip Module for the GE Mark VIe control system. The “AX” in the part number indicates the module is certified for use in potentially explosive atmospheres. This assembly is designed for safety-critical emergency shutdown applications in hazardous locations and includes a terminal board and a PTURH1B electronic I/O pack.
Key Features
- 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 safety requirement in industries like oil and gas.
- Primary Trip Module: This module is part of the first line of defense in a turbine’s safety system. It’s configured to process high-priority signals that, upon reaching a setpoint, demand an immediate shutdown to prevent a dangerous condition like overspeed or excessive vibration.
- I/O Module Assembly: This is a complete, ready-to-install unit, consisting of both a terminal board and the specialized electronic I/O pack (PTURH1B) that processes the emergency trip 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 IS230TNPAH1AAX is used in critical industrial settings where a reliable emergency shutdown system is non-negotiable, especially in hazardous environments.
- Oil and Gas: In refineries and offshore platforms, it monitors critical parameters for emergency shutdown systems in areas with flammable materials.
- Power Generation: It is a core component in the primary protection logic of gas and steam turbines and other power generation equipment located in hazardous areas.
- Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS): The module’s design and ATEX certification 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.
