IS230TBAIH2C

Multiple Input/Output Configurations

The GE IS230TBAIH2C offers a wide array of input and output configurations. With 10 analog inputs compatible with different types of transmitters and 2 analog outputs with configurable current ranges, it can be tailored to meet the specific requirements of diverse industrial applications. Whether it’s connecting to a variety of sensors in a power plant or actuators in an industrial manufacturing process, this board can adapt, ensuring seamless integration and operation.

Noise Suppression

Both the inputs and outputs of the IS230TBAIH2C are equipped with noise suppression circuitry. In industrial settings, electrical noise is a common issue that can disrupt the accuracy of signals. This built – in noise suppression feature ensures that the input signals are cleanly captured and the output signals are precisely transmitted, enhancing the reliability and stability of the control system. By reducing the impact of electrical interference, it helps in maintaining the integrity of the data being processed, leading to more accurate control decisions.

Redundancy Support

The board supports both simplex and triple modular redundant (TMR) applications. In critical industrial processes, such as power generation using gas turbines, system reliability is of utmost importance. The TMR configuration, for example, provides a high level of redundancy. In TMR setups, the input signals for the r, s, and t controls are distributed to three connections, and the outputs combine the currents of three connected output drivers. This redundancy significantly reduces the risk of system failure due to component malfunctions, ensuring continuous and stable operation of the industrial control system.

Easy Installation and Configuration

Installation of the GE IS230TBAIH2C is straightforward. Input and output wires can be directly attached to the two I/O terminal blocks on the board, each having 24 terminals that can accommodate wires up to #12 AWG and are secured with two screws. Configuration is also made simple through the use of jumpers. Jumpers can be used to select between current or voltage inputs, determine how the return is connected, choose the input current range, and adjust the output current settings. This ease of installation and configuration reduces the time and effort required for system setup and maintenance, minimizing downtime.

Application Field

In power generation plants, the GE IS230TBAIH2C is crucial for gas turbine control. It interfaces with various sensors that monitor parameters such as temperature, pressure, and flow within the gas turbine system. The analog inputs of the board collect data from these sensors, and the control system can then use this information to regulate the operation of the turbine, ensuring optimal power generation efficiency. For example, it can adjust the fuel flow to the turbine based on the temperature readings, maintaining the correct combustion conditions.

 

Oil and gas facilities also rely heavily on the IS230TBAIH2C. In oil refineries, it can be used to control the operation of pumps and valves. The analog outputs can be used to drive actuators that open or close valves, controlling the flow of oil and gas through the pipelines. In gas processing plants, it interfaces with sensors that detect gas composition and pressure. Based on the input signals, the board can trigger control actions to ensure safe and efficient gas processing operations.

 

Industrial manufacturing plants that use gas turbines for power or process control benefit from the GE IS230TBAIH2C as well. It can be used to control the speed of machinery, such as conveyor belts or production line equipment. By accurately capturing analog input signals from sensors and providing precise analog output signals for control, it helps in maintaining consistent production quality and optimizing production processes.
