Main Features and Advantages
Precise Data Acquisition
With 8 input channels and a high 16 – bit resolution, the GE IS230TNSVH3A can precisely measure and digitize analog signals. Whether it’s detecting minute changes in voltage or current, this module ensures that the data collected from sensors is highly accurate. For example, in a chemical processing plant, it can accurately monitor the flow rate of various chemicals using the 4 – 20 mA input range, enabling precise control of the production process.
Wide Input Range Compatibility
The ability to handle input ranges from – 10 to +10 VDC or 4 to 20 mA makes the IS230TNSVH3A extremely versatile. It can interface with a wide variety of sensors, from temperature sensors that output voltage signals to pressure sensors that use current signals. This compatibility reduces the need for additional signal conditioning equipment, simplifying the overall system design.
Robust Design for Industrial Environments
Rated IP20, the module is protected against solid objects such as dust, which is common in industrial settings. Operating on 24 VDC, it is designed to withstand electrical fluctuations typical in industrial power supplies. The CE, UL, and CSA certifications further attest to its safety and reliability, making it suitable for use in diverse industrial applications across different regions.
Application Field
Manufacturing Industry
In manufacturing plants, the GE IS230TNSVH3A is used to monitor and control various processes. For instance, in an automotive assembly line, it can be connected to sensors that measure the torque of robotic arms during the tightening of bolts. By accurately collecting and transmitting this data, it ensures that the assembly process is consistent and of high quality, reducing the risk of defective products.
Power Generation
Power plants, whether they are gas – fired, coal – fired, or hydro – powered, rely on the IS230TNSVH3A for monitoring critical parameters. It can be used to measure the temperature and pressure of steam in a steam turbine power plant. Based on the data collected, the control system can adjust the operation of the turbine to optimize power generation efficiency and prevent equipment failures.
Process Control Industries
Industries like chemical, petrochemical, and food and beverage use the GE IS230TNSVH3A extensively. In a petrochemical refinery, it can monitor the level of various petroleum products in storage tanks using level sensors that output analog signals. This data is then used to control the filling and emptying processes, ensuring smooth and safe operations.
