Overview
The GE IS220PAICH1BG module acts as a bridge between the I/O Ethernet network and analog input terminal boards, providing precise monitoring and control of analog signals. It supports both analog input and output functions, making it a versatile component within the Speedtronic Mark VIe architecture.
Moreover, this I/O pack is designed for high-speed data acquisition and features advanced signal conditioning with 16-bit resolution. It typically pairs with the IS230SNAIH2A terminal board, which offers field wiring connections and electrical isolation. In addition, the module includes built-in diagnostics, hot-swap capability, and conformal coating to ensure reliable operation in harsh industrial environments.
Its compact, DIN rail-mountable design allows for easy integration into modern control cabinets, while its compatibility with GE’s Ethernet-based IONet enables seamless communication with the turbine controller.
