PRODUCT INFORMATION
Product Overview
General Electric IS220PTCCH1A is a Thermocouple Input Module designed for Mark VI / Mark VIe control systems. The module interfaces one or two Ethernet networks with a thermocouple input terminal board. It contains an AMD-K6 300 MHz processor board common to distributed packs. It also incorporates an acquisition board specific to thermocouple temperature measurement.
The pack handles up to 12 thermocouple inputs across E, J, K, and S types. Two packs can combine on a TBTCH1C terminal board to service 24 inputs. A Triple Modular Redundant configuration uses three packs on a TBTCH1B terminal board. Output connects to the terminal board through a DC-37 pin connector. Dual RJ45 Ethernet ports handle communication with the system controllers.
