Product Description
Product Overview
The General Electric IS230TCATH1A is a Core Analog Terminal Board Assembly from the GE Mark VIe Speedtronic Series, designed to manage analog signal inputs and outputs for gas turbine control in industrial automation systems. Manufactured by GE, now under Emerson Automation Solutions following the 2019 acquisition of GE Intelligent Platforms, this terminal board interfaces with the Core Analog (PCAA) module, supporting a variety of signals including seismic, LVDT, and 4-20 mA inputs. It is suited for power generation, turbine management, and process control applications, featuring 120 pluggable Euro-style terminals and compatibility with simplex, dual, or triple modular redundant (TMR) configurations.

Key Features
- Analog Signal Management: Handles diverse inputs (12 seismic, 12 LVDT, 24 4-20 mA, 2 pulse rate) and outputs (three voted 4-20 mA signals), fanning signals to one or three PCAA modules via high-reliability passive circuits.
- Terminal Configuration: Features 120 pluggable Euro-style box terminals in three groups (48, 24, 48), with an adjacent JGPA board providing 48 shield terminations and power for half the 4-20 mA inputs.
- Cable Verification: Uses paired cables with electronic IDs, ensuring correct connections to PCAA modules, mounted on a metal base with an insulating plastic carrier and three securing screws.
- Durability and Redundancy: Supports TMR setups for enhanced reliability, with a robust design suited for harsh industrial environments, maintaining signal integrity across applications.
