The GE IS420YDIAS1B is a discrete input I/O pack for the Mark VIe control system. It is specifically designed to work in a Safety Instrumented System (SIS), as indicated by its SIL (Safety Integrity Level) rating. This module is used to acquire digital, or “on/off,” signals from field devices, ensuring the integrity and reliability of these inputs for safety-critical applications.


 

Key Features and Applications

 

This module combines a high level of safety with robust signal acquisition capabilities.

  • Discrete Input: The module is designed to receive discrete signals, which are digital inputs representing a two-state condition (e.g., a limit switch that is either open or closed, or a pushbutton that is either pressed or not pressed). This allows the system to monitor the on/off status of various pieces of equipment.
  • SIL Rating (Safety Integrity Level): This is the most crucial feature. The “SIL” rating indicates that the module has been certified to meet strict functional safety standards (e.g., IEC 61508). This means it is designed to perform a specific safety function with a very low probability of failure, which is essential in hazardous environments where a control failure could lead to a catastrophic event.
  • Mark VIe Integration: As a component of the Mark VIe system, the IS420YDIAS1B integrates seamlessly with the main controller and other I/O packs. It communicates via the IONet, ensuring that safety-critical data is transferred quickly and reliably.
