🧠 Functional Description
The IS200AEPAH1ACB serves as a sensor and input acquisition module, handling data from turbine sensors such as temperature, pressure, vibration, and speed. It preprocesses the analog and digital signals, performs fault diagnostics, and sends verified data to the main controller. Its deterministic signal processing ensures precise timing and synchronization, crucial for turbine safety and efficiency.
The IS210BPPBH2BMD acts as the output and actuator interface module, translating control commands from the Mark VI controller to the turbine system. It drives actuators, control valves, and alarms with high-speed, accurate output signals. The module also incorporates fault protection, including overcurrent, short-circuit, and signal isolation, safeguarding connected devices from damage.
Together, these modules form a critical communication and control loop within the GE Mark VI system. Advanced diagnostic capabilities provide real-time status monitoring, fault identification, and predictive maintenance alerts. Both modules support hot-swappable operation, reducing downtime and enhancing system reliability in continuous turbine operation.
The boards’ architecture supports high vibration and temperature tolerance, making them suitable for industrial, power generation, and offshore environments. Additionally, the modules allow easy integration into networked turbine control setups, enabling remote monitoring, system updates, and operational logging.
