In case of a failure in a part of the control system, the redundant features of this board can take over, minimizing the risk of system breakdown. For instance, in a power plant environment where continuous operation is crucial, the IS200EXTBG3A has demonstrated a low failure rate, maintaining the reliability of the excitation control system.
  • Versatile Functionality: With multiple functions like signal conditioning, pilot relay contact output, and contact input, the IS200EXTBG3A can meet diverse control requirements. It effectively processes and transmits various signals, enabling precise control of excitation equipment.
  • Excellent Compatibility: It integrates seamlessly with other components in the GE EX2100 series, such as the EDEX model. This compatibility allows for easy integration into existing systems, enhancing system functionality without significant integration challenges.

4. Application Areas and Application Cases

  • Application Areas: Predominantly used in the power generation industry, especially in the excitation control systems of generators in thermal and hydropower plants. It also finds application in other industrial sectors where stable excitation control is required, like large – scale industrial production facilities with motors that need proper excitation control for normal operation.
  • Application Case: In a thermal power plant, the IS200EXTBG3A is deployed in the generator’s excitation control system. It controls the field breaker and contactor in the field circuit through redundant control. When the generator’s load varies, the IS200EXTBG3A can rapidly and accurately adjust the excitation current via signal conditioning and relay control. This ensures the stable output voltage and frequency of the generator, guaranteeing the power plant’s stable operation and power supply quality.

5. Comparison with Competing Products

Compared to similar products in the market, the IS200EXTBG3A stands out in terms of redundant control and compatibility. Its redundant design provides higher reliability compared to some non – redundant counterparts, reducing system failure probabilities. In terms of compatibility, it can better integrate with other equipment in the GE EX2100 series and related systems, while some competing products may face compatibility issues, increasing integration complexity and cost.

6. Selection Suggestions

  • Compatibility: Ensure that the IS200EXTBG3A is fully compatible with your existing excitation control system. Pay particular attention to its compatibility with components like the EDEX model in the GE EX2100 series to avoid integration problems.
  • Power Supply: Confirm that the power supply at the application site can meet the 70V DC requirement of the IS200EXTBG3A to ensure proper board operation.
  • Function Requirements: Based on the actual control needs of your project, such as the need for signal conditioning, pilot relay control, etc., assess whether the IS200EXTBG3A can meet these functional requirements.

7. Precautions

  • Installation: When installing the IS200EXTBG3A, strictly follow the installation instructions provided in the product manual. Ensure correct wiring and connection to prevent damage to the board or system malfunctions.
  • Operating Environment: Keep the operating environment of the board within the specified temperature and humidity range. Avoid exposing it to strong electromagnetic interference and corrosive gases to protect the board’s components and maintain its performance.
  • Maintenance: Regularly check the operation status of the IS200EXTBG3A. Inspect for loose connections and component damage. Refer to the relevant maintenance and troubleshooting guidelines for routine upkeep to ensure long – term stable operation.

IC660ELB912J

High-Speed Gigabit Ethernet Connectivity

The IC660ELB921M provides 1Gbps throughput and dual-port flexibility at approximately 1.5 times the cost of the single-port IC660ELB910, making it ideal for users with high-bandwidth needs. A German automotive assembly plant used 12 IC660ELB921M modules to build a gigabit Ethernet network for its RX3i-based production line control system: each module connected an RX3i rack (equipped with IC695CPU331) to 8 robotic arms and 2 HMI terminals. The 1Gbps throughput supported real-time transmission of robotic motion data (1000 data points per second per robot), and the dual-port design enabled separate networks for control and monitoring—reducing data latency by 70% compared to the IC660ELB910, ensuring precise coordination of the assembly line.

Redundant Ring Network for Uninterrupted Operation

Unlike single-port modules (where a cable break shuts down communication), the IC660ELB921M’s ring topology support ensures network redundancy. A US integrated power plant deployed 18 IC660ELB921M modules in a ring network connecting 18 RX3i racks (controlling turbines, boilers, and generators): when a cable between two modules failed, the network recovered within 250ms, and all control loops continued operating without interruption. This reduced unplanned downtime from 4 hours (with single-port modules) to 0 minutes, avoiding $200,000 in lost power generation revenue per incident.

Multi-Protocol Compatibility for Interoperability

Supporting Modbus TCP, Ethernet/IP, and DNP3.0 protocols, the IC660ELB921M ensures seamless integration with diverse industrial devices. A Chinese smart factory used 8 IC660ELB921M modules to connect its RX3i PLC system with third-party equipment: 4 modules acted as Modbus TCP clients to collect data from Siemens S7-1200 PLCs (controlling conveyors), 2 modules served as Ethernet/IP adapters to communicate with Allen-Bradley VFDs, and 2 modules ran DNP3.0 over IP to send data to the plant’s SCADA system. This compatibility avoided the need for expensive protocol converters (which would have cost $30,000), reducing integration costs by 60%.

Advanced Security and Remote Diagnostics

Equipped with 802.1X authentication and a built-in web server, the IC660ELB921M enhances network security and simplifies maintenance. A Middle Eastern oil refinery deployed 10 IC660ELB921M modules in its hazardous area RX3i systems: 802.1X authentication prevented unauthorized access to the control network, and the web server allowed engineers to remotely configure IP addresses and run ping tests. During a recent maintenance cycle, engineers used the built-in packet capture tool to diagnose a communication issue with a DNP3.0 SCADA link—reducing troubleshooting time by 80% compared to modules without remote diagnostics.
