الوصف
The GE IS230TNVBH8A is a specialized simplex vibration input module assembly for the GE Mark VIe control system. The part number indicates a complete, pre-configured unit with a TVBAH2B terminal board and a single PVIBH1B electronic I/O pack. It’s designed for reliable, non-redundant monitoring of vibration signals from rotating machinery.
Key Features
- Simplex Configuration: The term “simplex” means there is a single, non-redundant I/O channel. This is a common and cost-effective approach for applications where a single point of failure won’t lead to a catastrophic event.
- Vibration Input: The module is specifically designed to handle inputs from various vibration sensors, such as proximity probes or accelerometers. It processes these signals to provide accurate data on shaft vibration, casing vibration, and other critical parameters.
- Assembly: The part number signifies a complete, ready-to-install unit, consisting of both a terminal board (TVBAH2B) and the electronic I/O pack (PVIBH1B).
- 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 in power generation and other heavy industries.
Applications
The IS230TNVBH8A is used in industrial settings where the monitoring of vibration is essential for safety and preventative maintenance.
- Power Generation: It is a core component in a turbine’s control and protection system, providing a reliable input for trip logic that shuts down the unit in a controlled manner if excessive vibration is detected.
- Industrial Automation: The module is a fundamental building block in many manufacturing processes that rely on automated control for efficiency and product quality.
- Oil and Gas: In refineries and offshore platforms, it monitors the vibration of critical equipment like pumps, compressors, and turbines to ensure they operate within safe limits.
