Features:
- Bridge Between I/O Ethernet Networks and Serial Communication Terminal Boards
- Integrates Six Independently Configurable Serial Transceiver Channels with Dual Ethernet Modbus Support
- Functions Seamlessly Within Mark VIe Distributed Control Architectures
The General Electric IS220PSCAH1A Communication I/O Module serves as the Serial Modbus Communication I/O Pack in a Mark VIe control system, providing the critical electrical interface between one or two I/O Ethernet networks and a serial communications terminal board. It continuously manages data exchange between the control system and external serial devices through six independently configurable channels, each supporting RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485 half-duplex standards, while dual RJ45 Ethernet connectors enable high-speed networked communication across the IONet infrastructure. Seamless protocol conversion is standard with the IS220PSCAH1A, however utilizing the optional Ethernet Modbus Master capability on simplex networks will allow direct integration with third-party intelligent devices such as sensors, actuators, and smart meters. The IS220PSCAH1A has incorporated advanced self-diagnostic capabilities in addition to comprehensive analog input monitoring for position and pressure parameters within the Mark VIe rack.
The IS220PSCAH1A provides essential communication functions common to the entire distributed I/O architecture, and is a critical component of the data pathway, directly affecting the proper, normal operation of the overall turbine control system. One IS220PSCAH1A pack is typically deployed per communication node depending on the required serial connectivity scope. The IS220PSCAH1A occupies a standard I/O pack form factor and mounts directly onto its associated IS200SSCAH1A or IS200SSCAH2A terminal board through a DC-62 pin connector.
For expanded communication requirements, the Mark VIe System supports multiple IS220PSCAH1A modules distributed across the I/O network. In addition to standard serial Modbus RTU master operation, the redundant network configuration also performs automatic failover. The Mark VIe distributed I/O architecture executes communication management using the internal BPPC processor board common to all Mark VIe I/O packs. Using this method, the control system continually monitors the health of all communication paths. If the system detects that the primary Ethernet network is no longer providing stable data transmission, it will automatically reroute critical communications through the secondary network and generate appropriate system alarms.
The IS220PSCAH1A General Electric Communication I/O Module may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).
