Overview
The GE IS220PTURH1B module is engineered to support gas and steam turbine protection through high-speed signal processing and deterministic trip logic. It connects to terminal boards such as the IS200TRPAS1A and works in tandem with the IS230TNTRH1C I/O pack to manage critical input/output signals essential for safe turbine operation.
Moreover, this module is part of GE’s Speedtronic control architecture, widely used in power generation facilities worldwide. It supports redundant configurations, ensuring high availability and fault tolerance in safety-critical environments. In addition, its conformal coating and robust design allow it to operate reliably under harsh industrial conditions.
The IS220PTURH1B is DIN rail-mounted and features modular connectivity, making it easy to install, maintain, and upgrade. Its integration with Mark VI and Mark VIe systems ensures seamless communication and fast response times during turbine trip events.
