PRODUCT INFORMATION
Product Overview
The General Electric IS420PPNGH1A is a Communication Gateway designed for the Mark VI / Mark VIe control platform. This module interfaces Mark VIe controllers with an external PROFINET local area network. It coordinates data exchange between the Mark VIe controller and PROFINET I/O field devices. The unit features an Intel EP80579 processor running at a clock frequency of 1066 MHz. It executes on the QNX Neutrino operating system and contains 256 DDR2 SDRAM.
The IS420PPNGH1A functions as a standalone single-module component using convection air cooling. The hardware contains no internal fan and has no installed battery. The module requires vertical panel mounting to maintain natural convection airflow. Control system integration requires GE ControlST software version V05.04 or higher. Maximum PROFINET communication throughput reaches up to 6 KB per millisecond. Operating temperature for this gateway ranges from 22 to 149°F.
