About the IS230TBTCH1B
The IS230TBTCH1B is a small board component manufactured by GE for the Mark VI. The MKVI, which is a gas and steam turbine management system, was one of the last released by GE under the “Speedtronic” name. The Mark VI is a complete integrated management system where the hardware and software were designed together and works in conjunction to maintain the turbine at its optimum level. The Mark VI is offered in both TMR (triple modular redundant) and Simplex forms. This IS230TBTCH1B Thermocouple Terminal Module product's greater Mark VI Turbine Control System Series, as its full extended series name is rolled out, is actually a highly-desirable Mark product series iteration within relevant promotional automated industrial circles, primarily as a function of its status as one of the final-developed GE Mark product series to utilize the patented Speedtronic control system technology across many offerings.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
The IS230TBTCH1B is a Thermocouple Input terminal board. The board can accept thermocouple inputs of the E, J, K, or T types. This card works with the VTCC processor and is designed with two barrier type terminal strips placed on its front edge. These are marked TB1 and TB2. Each terminal block has twenty-four thermocouple inputs. During installation, the thermocouple wires directly to the I/O terminal blocks of the IS230TBTCH1B. The J-type connectors on the board (JRA/JRB, JSA/JSB, JTA/JTB) are to be cabled to the Input/Output processors located in the VME rack. The IS230TBTCH1B screw mounts to a shield bar at three locations. This frame encircles the PCB on all four sides and extends from the front edge. Thermocouple inputs can be grounded or ungrounded. If terminal blocks need maintenance, they can be unplugged from the surface of the board. Surprisingly enough, this IS230TBTCH1B Thermocouple Terminal Module device on this IS230TBTCH1B Thermocouple Terminal Module personalized product page cannot be considered the originally-developed Thermocouple Terminal Module existing within the Mark VI Series automated drive assembly. That individual component would have to be deemed the IS230TBTCH1 Parent Thermocouple Terminal Module, notably missing this IS230TBTCH1B Thermocouple Terminal Module device's unique B-rated revision.
More information about the operation, installation, diagnostics, and specifications of the IS230TBTCH1B can be accessed in the Mark VI Control System Guide. If this publication is not available to you, please speak to our team when you place your order. Unfortunately enough for this IS230TBTCH1B Thermocouple Terminal Module personalized product page here, this IS230TBTCH1B Thermocouple Terminal Module device and the rest of its esteemed Mark VI Turbine Control System Series are not followed online by very many original instructional manuals. With this being the truth, this IS230TBTCH1B Thermocouple Terminal Module product still does benefit from its General Electric manufacture in some fashion, as it makes use of the IS230TBTCH1B Thermocouple Terminal Module functional product number specially designed by GE to illustrate a number of important IS230TBTCH1B Thermocouple Terminal Module Board hardware component and component specification details through its Mark VI-characteristic selection of consecutive functional chunks for naming. For example, this IS230TBTCH1B Thermocouple Terminal Module product number specifically starts off with a standard inclusion of the dual-functional IS230 series tag indicating both this product's special modular Mark VI Series assembly on top of its more obvious domestic original GE manufacture location. Some of the other important IS230TBTCH1B Thermocouple Terminal Module hardware qualities indicated in this way are its:
- TBTC functional product acronym
- Group one Mark VI Series grouping
- Conformal PCB coating style
- B-rated functional product revision
