IS230SNAIH2A - Analog DIN Rail Input/Output Module

Functional Description

IS230SNAIH2A is an Analog DIN Rail Input/Output Module manufactured and designed by General Electric as part of the Mark VIe series used in GE Distributed Turbine Control Systems. This module typically includes analog input channels that can accept signals from sensors or devices in the field. Common types of analog inputs include voltage, current, resistance, or temperature inputs. The module digitizes these analog signals for processing by a control system. DIN rail mounting is a standard for industrial equipment, allowing for easy and secure installation on a DIN rail in an industrial control panel. FEATURES: 1. The I/O packs on the terminal board serve as the intermediaries between the connected devices and the Mark VIe controller. These packs are responsible for digitizing analog signals, performing algorithms if needed, and facilitating communication with the Mark VIe controller. The data acquisition board plays a crucial role in converting analog signals into digital data that can be processed and utilized by the control system. 2. Enables the seamless integration of various analog devices and sensors into industrial control and automation processes. It converts and processes analog signals, making them compatible with the digital environment of the control system, and ensures that the control system can efficiently monitor and control the connected devices. This module's versatility, compatibility, and ability to perform critical signal processing functions make it an indispensable element in industrial automation and control applications, where precise and reliable data acquisition and control are paramount. 3. Incorporates specialized circuitry within the data acquisition board and runs dedicated software on the CPU board to actively detect faults and anomalies within its operation. This fault detection mechanism is pivotal for ensuring the reliability and safety of the connected devices and processes. Detected faults are promptly relayed to the controllers, enabling rapid response and corrective actions. 4. When connected, the I/O demonstrates versatility by transmitting input data and receiving output commands on both network interfaces. This redundancy enhances system resilience, ensuring that data transmission remains uninterrupted even in the event of network issues or component failures. 5. I/O pack, upon request, sends an identification message (ID packet) to the main controller. This ID packet contains critical information about the I/O board, including the hardware catalog number, hardware revision, board barcode serial number, firmware catalog number, and firmware version. This data is invaluable for system monitoring, configuration, and maintenance. 6. Designed to operate in a wide temperature range, with a rating of -30°C to 65°C. This robust operational temperature range ensures that the module can function reliably in diverse environmental conditions. It is further aided by free convection cooling, which helps regulate the temperature of the module. 7. Equipped with a temperature sensor that exhibits a high level of accuracy, with a margin of error within 2°C. The real-time temperature data from the sensor is readily available in the system's database. This data can be utilized to generate alarms and notifications if the temperature approaches critical levels. This proactive temperature monitoring is essential for preventing overheating and ensuring the continued integrity of the system.
