Description
GE IS230TNCIH4C – Turbine Control Interface Module
GE IS230TNCIH4C is a versatile printed circuit board (PCB) serving as a multi-channel I/O interface in GE’s Mark VIe turbine control systems for gas and steam applications. This module combines 8 analog inputs (4-20 mA), 16 digital inputs (24 VDC), 6 analog outputs, and 12 digital outputs, bridging field sensors/actuators with central controllers via UDH or IONet Ethernet communication. It resolves complex signal integration needs by providing high-precision acquisition (±0.1% FS accuracy), photoelectric isolation (2500 V AC), and 100 Hz sampling for real-time turbine parameter monitoring and control. Compatible with 13/21-slot VME racks in simplex or triple redundant setups, the GE IS230TNCIH4C ensures reliable operation across power, petrochemical, and metallurgical environments with MTBF exceeding 150,000 hours.
