الوصف
The GE IS230TNRLH2F is a triple-modular redundant (TMR), DIN rail-mounted layout module for the GE Mark VIe control system. This component is a specialized terminal board used for a specific wiring arrangement in a TMR configuration. It does not contain the electronic I/O processing circuitry itself.
Key Features
- Triple-Modular Redundant (TMR): This is a key feature, indicating that the terminal board is designed to interface with three separate I/O packs. This TMR setup provides exceptional fault tolerance and is used in safety-critical applications where redundancy is essential for continuous operation.
- Layout Module: This component is a physical wiring interface, providing an organized point for connecting field wiring from sensors and actuators. It is a passive board and relies on separate electronic I/O packs to process the signals.
- DIN Rail Mounting: The board 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 the system modular and easy to maintain.
- Mark VIe Integration: As part of the IS230 series, this board 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 IS230TNRLH2F is used in mission-critical industrial settings where high reliability and redundancy are required.
- Power Generation: It is a core component in power plants for connecting the wiring from critical sensors on gas and steam turbines, ensuring that a single-point failure of a sensor or wiring path does not compromise the control or safety system.
- Safety-Critical Systems: The module is integral to safety systems where a failure to monitor a digital signal could result in equipment damage or a safety risk.
- Oil and Gas: In refineries and offshore platforms, it provides a stable and redundant connection for the wiring of emergency shutdown valves, fire and gas detectors, and other critical process equipment.
