Description
Product Overview
The GE PV2121ED160012CT is a communication module designed to meet the demands of industrial and power – related applications, proudly brought to you by General Electric. In the complex landscape of industrial automation and power system management, this module plays a crucial role in facilitating seamless data transfer and communication.
It is engineered to be a reliable data – handling component. With its specific configuration capabilities, it can manage different types of reporting mechanisms. For instance, in the case of buffered reports, it allows only one client to enable the relevant reporting attribute at a time, ensuring exclusive access to the associated buffer until the connection is closed or the attribute is disabled. On the other hand, for unbuffered reports, up to six clients can simultaneously enable the reporting attribute, each having independent access to a copy of the relevant data structure. This flexibility in handling reporting makes it suitable for various industrial setups where data distribution and access control are vital. Whether it’s in a power plant monitoring critical equipment status or an industrial manufacturing facility coordinating production processes, the GE PV2121ED160012CT communication module provides the necessary means to keep the data flow organized and efficient.

Main Features and Advantages
Flexible Reporting Mechanisms
The GE PV2121ED160012CT offers distinct ways to handle reports. The buffered report system, with its single – client – enabled access, is beneficial in scenarios where data integrity and exclusive access are crucial. For example, in a power grid control center, when a particular operation requires real – time and uninterrupted access to specific data, the buffered report feature ensures that only the authorized client can access and act on that data. In contrast, the unbuffered report system, allowing multiple clients to access data simultaneously, is ideal for situations like large – scale industrial monitoring where different departments or systems need to access the same set of data for their respective operations, such as quality control and production planning in a manufacturing plant.
High – Frequency Reporting
With a 2 Hz reporting service rate, the module can quickly transmit data. In applications where real – time information is essential, like in a fast – paced manufacturing process where any delay in data transmission can lead to production inefficiencies or in a power plant where immediate response to equipment status changes is required, the PV2121ED160012CT ensures that the latest data is available promptly. This high – frequency reporting helps in making timely decisions and maintaining the smooth operation of the overall system.
Precise Time – related Settings
The ability to set the IntgPd (Integrity Period) with a resolution of 1 ms gives users fine – grained control over when integrity reports are sent. This is extremely useful in systems where precise timing of data updates is critical. For instance, in a highly synchronized industrial process where different machines need to operate based on the exact status of other components, the accurate setting of IntgPd ensures that the data used for coordination is up – to – date and relevant, minimizing the risk of miscommunication and potential production errors.
Application Field
In power generation plants, the GE PV2121ED160012CT is extensively used for monitoring and controlling various aspects of the power – generation process. It can be used to communicate data from sensors placed on generators, transformers, and other critical equipment. For example, it can relay information about the temperature, vibration, and electrical parameters of these components to the central control system. This enables operators to monitor the health of the equipment in real – time and take preventive measures in case of any anomalies, ensuring the stable and efficient operation of the power plant.
Industrial manufacturing facilities also rely on this module. In a large – scale automotive manufacturing plant, for instance, the PV2121ED160012CT can be used to transfer data between different production lines, robots, and control systems. It helps in coordinating the movement of parts, controlling the speed of conveyor belts, and ensuring that the overall manufacturing process is synchronized. By facilitating seamless communication, it contributes to improving production efficiency, reducing downtime, and enhancing product quality.
In smart grid applications, the module plays a role in enabling communication between different grid components. It can transfer data related to power consumption, voltage levels, and load distribution. This information is used by grid operators to optimize power flow, manage peak loads, and ensure the reliability of the power supply. The GE PV2121ED160012CT thus helps in making the smart grid more intelligent and responsive to the changing demands of electricity users.
