Product Introduction

The **GE IS210AEBIH1B** is a cost-effective, high-reliability digital input module engineered for GE’s Mark VIe turbine control system, specializing in the collection and transmission of discrete signals from critical turbine components. As a core discrete data acquisition unit in GE’s industrial portfolio, the **GE IS210AEBIH1B** captures on/off status signals—such as turbine valve position switches, emergency stop contacts, bearing temperature limit switches, and pump running status—and converts them into standardized digital data for Mark VIe control modules (like the **IS210MACCH1A**). Its 16-channel isolated design and dual-input compatibility make it a practical choice for onshore power plants, industrial turbine systems, and auxiliary power facilities where accurate discrete status monitoring is key to safe operation.

What distinguishes the **GE IS210AEBIH1B** is its balanced performance, robust isolation design, and seamless integration with the Mark VIe ecosystem. Leveraging GE’s expertise in turbine control and discrete signal processing, the **GE IS210AEBIH1B** features channel-to-channel isolation to prevent signal crosstalk and interference—critical in the high-electromagnetic environment near turbine generators. By delivering fast and accurate discrete data to the control system, it enables real-time status monitoring, immediate fault response, and compliance with basic industrial safety standards, directly enhancing the operational safety and reliability of standard turbine control setups.

Core Advantages and Technical Highlights

Multi-Channel Isolated Design: The **IS210AEBIH1B** is equipped with 16 fully isolated differential channels, each capable of independent configuration for dry or wet contact inputs. Channel-to-channel isolation (500V AC) eliminates signal interference between channels, ensuring accurate data collection even when monitoring multiple high-noise discrete signals simultaneously—such as turbine fuel valve switches and generator breaker statuses in standard industrial environments.

Dual-Input Compatibility: The module supports both dry contact (NO/NC) and 24V DC wet contact inputs, adapting to a wide range of turbine discrete sensors and switches. Dry contact mode is ideal for monitoring mechanical limit switches (e.g., turbine shaft position), while wet contact mode suits active sensors with 24V DC output—eliminating the need for additional signal converters and simplifying integration in standard system designs.

Fast Response and High Reliability: With a response time of ≤1ms, the **IS210AEBIH1B** captures rapid discrete signal changes—such as emergency stop button presses or valve fault triggers—ensuring the **IS210MACCH1A** control module receives immediate status updates to execute protective actions. Its rugged design and wide input voltage range (18-30V DC) ensure stable operation even in voltage-fluctuating standard industrial environments.

Seamless Mark VIe Integration: The **IS210AEBIH1B** communicates directly with the Mark VIe backplane via GE’s proprietary protocol, synchronizing discrete data with the **IS210MACCH1A** and HMI interfaces in real time. It supports basic online configuration and diagnostic testing via Mark VIe Configuration Studio, allowing maintenance teams to troubleshoot channel faults without powering down the entire control system—minimizing maintenance downtime in standard setups.

Typical Application Scenarios

In onshore steam turbine power plants (20-50 MW), the **IS210AEBIH1B** serves as the primary discrete input module for the Mark VIe system. It monitors 16 critical discrete signals, including turbine start/stop status, high-pressure valve position switches, bearing temperature high-limit contacts, and generator breaker status. When a bearing temperature limit switch triggers, the module transmits the fault signal to the **IS210MACCH1A** in ≤1ms, prompting the control system to initiate a protective shutdown and prevent equipment damage.

For industrial auxiliary turbine systems (e.g., steam-driven feedwater pumps), the **IS210AEBIH1B** monitors discrete signals from auxiliary systems, including pump running status, filter clogging alerts, and emergency cutoff valve positions. Its isolated channels prevent interference from nearby electrical components, ensuring accurate status reporting. The module’s compatibility with both dry and wet contacts allows seamless integration with legacy mechanical switches and modern active sensors in auxiliary setups.

In small to mid-sized hydroelectric power plants (onshore), the **IS210AEBIH1B** collects discrete signals from turbine governor systems, such as wicket gate limit switches, emergency stop button status, and water intake valve position contacts. Its wide operating temperature range and rugged design withstand the typical humidity of hydro plants, while fast response time ensures immediate transmission of critical status changes—such as a sudden water level drop triggering a valve closure signal.
