FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is DS3820LIMB?
It is a Controller Module manufactured and designed by General Electrics.

Why is electrical isolation important in control systems?
Electrical isolation helps prevent high-voltage surges or faults in one part of the system from damaging other components. It also protects against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and ground loops, which can cause data corruption or system failures. By isolating the signals, the system ensures more accurate, reliable, and safe communication.

How does data link isolation improve system performance?
Data link isolation minimizes signal interference caused by electrical noise, ground potential differences, and power fluctuations. By ensuring clean and reliable data transmission between control systems and remote devices, it optimizes performance and reduces errors, making the system more efficient and stable.
