Functional Description

IS230TNAOH1C is an analog output module manufactured and designed by General Electric. It is a part of the Mark VIe Control System. The module serves as an intermediary between one or two I/O Ethernet networks and an analog output terminal board. This function allows for seamless communication and data exchange between the control system and various external devices, enabling precise control over industrial processes. At the core of the module lies a sophisticated processor board, which is shared among all Mark VIe distributed I/O packs. This shared processing power ensures consistency and compatibility across the entire system, making it easier for engineers and operators to manage and maintain the control system effectively. In addition to the processor board, it is equipped with a specialized acquisition board pair.

Features

• By having a dedicated acquisition board pair for the analog output function, the module optimizes performance and ensures accuracy in the conversion process. This specialized design also enhances the reliability of the analog output signals, making them consistent and predictable under various operating conditions.
• The combination of the processor board and the acquisition board pair creates a powerful and versatile analog output module that can accommodate a wide range of industrial applications. Whether it's controlling motor speeds, regulating pressure, or managing temperature, the module delivers precise and stable analog outputs, providing precise control over critical industrial processes.
• Boards are specifically designed to handle analog output functions. Their primary task is to receive digital control signals from the control system via the I/O Ethernet networks and convert them into precise analog output signals. This conversion process is critical, as it allows the control system to interact with external devices that may require analog input for proper operation.

Processor Features

• Two Fully Independent 10/100 Ethernet Ports with Connectors: The module is equipped with two 10/100 Ethernet ports, each operating independently. These Ethernet ports facilitate seamless and high-speed communication between the module and the I/O Ethernet networks, enabling efficient data exchange and control over connected devices.
• Hardware Watchdog Timer and Reset Circuit: To ensure the highest level of reliability, it features a hardware watchdog timer and reset circuit. These essential components monitor the module's operations and initiate a system reset if any anomalies or malfunctions are detected, effectively preventing potential system failures and downtime.
• Internal I/O Pack Temperature Sensor: The module is equipped with an internal temperature sensor dedicated to monitoring the I/O pack's operating temperature. This feature allows for real-time temperature monitoring, ensuring that the module operates within its optimal temperature range and safeguarding it from overheating.
• Infrared Serial Communications Port: In addition to its Ethernet connectivity, the module features an infrared serial communications port. This port enables infrared communication with compatible devices, expanding the module's communication capabilities and compatibility with various peripherals.
• Status-Indication LEDs: The module incorporates status-indication LEDs, providing visual feedback on its operating status. These LEDs offer at-a-glance information on the module's health, communication status, and fault conditions, facilitating easier diagnostics and troubleshooting.
• Electronic ID and Ability to Read IDs on Other Boards: Equipped with an electronic identification feature, which allows the module to have a unique identifier. Moreover, it can read identification data from other compatible boards within the system. This feature simplifies board identification and tracking, making system maintenance more efficient.
• Substantial Programmable Logic Supporting the Acquisition Board: The module includes substantial programmable logic, specifically designed to support the functions of the acquisition board pair. This powerful logic allows for customizable configurations, enabling fine-tuning of the analog output functions to suit specific industrial requirements.
• Input Power Connector with Soft Start/Current Limiter: The module features a robust input power connector, designed to handle the module's power requirements efficiently. The inclusion of a soft start and current limiter safeguards the module during power-up, preventing sudden surges in current and ensuring a smooth and stable power supply.
• Local Power Supplies, Including Sequencing and Monitoring: To ensure reliability and independence, the module comes equipped with local power supplies. These power supplies feature sequencing and monitoring capabilities, ensuring proper power-on and power-off procedures and enabling continuous monitoring of power-related parameters.

Network Features

• The Mark VIe control system operates on a sophisticated hierarchy of interconnected networks, strategically designed to efficiently manage various communication traffic based on specific functions. This hierarchical structure seamlessly spans from the lower-level I/O modules and controllers, responsible for real-time process control, to the higher-level Human-Machine Interface (HMI) systems, facilitating comprehensive facility-wide monitoring.
• At its core, this hierarchy is built upon industry-standard components and protocols meticulously selected to streamline integration across diverse platforms and enhance the system's overall reliability and maintainability. By segregating communication traffic into distinct layers, the Mark VIe control system optimizes performance, ensuring smooth operation and effective management of complex industrial processes.
