Description
1. Product Title
GE IS230TDBTH6A – Discrete I/O Terminal Board for Turbine Control
2. Product Overview
The IS230TDBTH6A is a discrete Input/Output (I/O) Terminal Board designed as part of the GE Mark VI/Mark VIe turbine control systems. This board functions as a robust interface between the controller logic and field-level discrete devices (such as switches, relays, and contact outputs), facilitating reliable monitoring and actuation of critical signals. Its role is essential in environments where discrete status and control points drive safety interlocks, alarms, and logic decisions required for turbine and plant operation.
Built for industrial automation and high-reliability applications, the IS230TDBTH6A ensures noise suppression, surge protection, and group isolation of contact points, enhancing signal integrity and system uptime. The board’s design supports integration with multiple I/O packs and controllers, enabling flexible deployment in complex control architectures.
