IS230STCIH4A GE Mark VIe, Simplex Digital Input DIN Rail Module

Description:

The IS230STCIH4A is a Simplex Digital Input DIN Rail Module created and designed by General Electric as part of the VIe Series used in GE Distributed Gas Turbine Control Systems. A Simplex Digital Input DIN Rail Module typically refers to an electronic module that is mounted on a DIN rail within an industrial or control panel environment. The purpose of this module is to interface digital signals or inputs from various external devices to a larger control or automation system. This can include connecting sensors, switches, or other digital devices to monitor their status or trigger certain actions within the system. Here are some key points about such a module:

Mounting: The module is designed to be easily mounted on a standard DIN rail, which is a standardized metal rail used for easy installation of various industrial control components.

Digital Inputs: The module features digital input channels that can receive binary signals, typically representing two states: ON or OFF. These inputs are used to detect the status of external devices, such as sensors, limit switches, or push buttons.

Interface: The module provides an interface between the external devices and the main control system. It may use various communication protocols such as digital signals (e.g., discrete signals) or serial communication (e.g., Modbus, PROFIBUS, etc.) to transmit the input status to the central control system.

Status Monitoring: The module is designed to continuously monitor the status of the connected digital devices. It can detect changes in state, such as a sensor going from OFF to ON, and transmit this information to the central control system.

Automation and Control: The information gathered from the digital inputs can be used by the control system to make decisions and trigger specific actions or processes. For example, if a limit switch detects an object in a certain position, the control system can initiate a relevant action, such as stopping a conveyor belt.

Programming and Configuration: Depending on the specific module, it might require programming or configuration to define how the digital inputs are used and how they interact with the overall control logic.
