Overview
The GE IS420ESWBH2A is an industrial-grade Ethernet switch board designed for GE’s Mark VIe / Mark VIeS SPEEDTRONIC turbine control systems. It ensures high-speed, deterministic communication between controllers, I/O modules, protection devices, and other critical subsystems.
Built on N-TRON industrial networking technology, the IS420ESWBH2A provides robust data transfer with advanced synchronization features. It supports IONet, GE’s real-time Ethernet protocol, delivering refresh cycles as fast as ≤5 ms, making it ideal for mission-critical turbine operations requiring precision, redundancy, and maximum uptime.
