GE IS210BPPBH2CAA Power and communication interface module

Description

The GE IS210BPPBH2CAA is a high-performance printed circuit board designed specifically for the General Electric Mark VI turbine control system, widely utilized in gas and steam turbine automation for power generation and industrial process control. This board serves as a primary or backup protection processor module within Mark VI system architectures, executing control algorithms and managing critical turbine operations to ensure safe and efficient turbine functionality.

Equipped with eight female plug connectors (ranging from 2 to 18 pins each) and six metal oxide varistors for surge protection, the IS210BPPBH2CAA interfaces with numerous sensors and actuators to monitor parameters such as temperature, pressure, vibration, and speed. It supports sophisticated software maintenance tools, including protection algorithms, sequencing, and input/output displays, all accessible via an operator human-machine interface (HMI) designed for Microsoft Windows NT environments. This interface supports graphical displays, client-server functionality, and a control system toolbox to facilitate efficient system maintenance and diagnostics.

The board is built for harsh industrial environments, with robust metal oxide varistor protection ensuring resilience against electrical surges. It is compatible with triple modular redundancy (TMR) system configurations, supporting the execution of turbine application software across multiple processor cards for enhanced reliability and fault tolerance. The product is suitable for use in primary or backup protection modules within larger Mark VI control systems, adaptable for steam or gas turbine prime movers.

Installation requires integration within Mark VI turbine control racks with adequate grounding and connectivity to field sensors and actuators. The system’s software tools enable configuration, real-time monitoring, and troubleshooting, ensuring reliable power generation operations.
