Description
The GE IS200STCIH2A you inquired about is a simple contact input terminal board used within the GE Mark VIe Series gas turbine control systems. It plays a crucial role in enabling communication between the control system and external devices using contact closure signals. Here’s a breakdown of its functionalities and applications:
Function:
- The IS200STCIH2A connects to external devices with dry contact outputs (switches, sensors, or relays) via screw terminals.
- These external devices can activate or deactivate based on various operating conditions within the gas turbine or surrounding environment.
- The IS200STCIH2A detects these contact closures (on/off states) and transmits the corresponding digital signal to the Mark VIe system’s processing unit.
- It may offer additional features like:
- Status monitoring: LED indicators or other methods to show the status of each contact input channel, potentially aiding troubleshooting.
- Isolation: Electrical isolation between the external devices and the Mark VIe system’s internal circuitry for safety and noise reduction.
Applications:
The IS200STCIH2A is vital for the Mark VIe system by:
- Enabling the system to receive information from various external devices using simple contact closures.
- Providing an interface between the Mark VIe system and external sensors, safety interlocks, or control buttons.
- Potentially offering status monitoring capabilities to help diagnose issues with external devices or wiring.
