GE IC800SSI228RD2-EE Product Specification
Product Overview
The GE IC800SSI228RD2-EE is a high-reliability safety system interface module engineered for GE’s Mark 8 Turbine Control Platform, designed to serve as a critical link in safety instrumented systems (SIS) and distributed control architectures. As part of GE’s industrial automation portfolio, this module enables seamless communication between field sensors, safety relays, and higher-level control systems, ensuring real-time data exchange in mission-critical applications. The GE IC800SSI228RD2-EE integrates advanced signal conditioning with rugged industrial design, making it indispensable for industries such as power generation, oil and gas, and heavy manufacturing where system safety and operational continuity are non-negotiable.
Featuring a dual-channel design with built-in redundancy, the GE IC800SSI228RD2-EE supports up to 16 channels of digital input/output signals, each configurable for safety-critical applications. It complies with Safety Integrity Level 3 (SIL 3) standards, ensuring reliable performance in systems where failure could lead to severe consequences. The module’s 24 VDC power supply and wide operating temperature range (-40°C to +70°C) enable deployment in harsh environments, while its compact form factor (178 mm × 102 mm × 254 mm) and DIN rail mounting simplify integration into control panels.
In automation systems, the GE IC800SSI228RD2-EE acts as a safety-focused interface, translating sensor inputs (e.g., vibration, temperature) into standardized signals for the main control processor. Its fail-safe design includes built-in diagnostic functions that monitor channel health and alert operators to anomalies, minimizing downtime and enhancing system availability. By combining robust hardware with flexible software configuration via GE’s Proficy software, the module empowers engineers to build scalable, compliant safety systems that meet international standards for critical infrastructure.

Main Features and Advantages
SIL 3 Compliance for Safety-Critical Applications: The GE IC800SSI228RD2-EE meets the highest safety integrity standards, making it suitable for emergency shutdown systems (ESD), turbine overspeed protection, and other applications where safety is paramount. Its fail-safe design ensures that in the event of a hardware fault, the module transitions to a safe state to prevent hazardous conditions.
Dual-Channel Redundancy: With redundant power supplies and communication paths, the module minimizes the risk of single-point failures. This feature is critical in 24/7 operations such as power plants or offshore platforms, where unplanned downtime can lead to significant losses.
Flexible Signal Configuration: The 16 configurable channels support a mix of digital inputs (e.g., switch status) and outputs (e.g., relay commands), adapting to diverse safety system requirements without hardware modifications. This flexibility reduces inventory needs and simplifies system design.
Advanced Diagnostics and Health Monitoring: Built-in self-test (BIST) functionality continuously monitors channel performance, power supply stability, and thermal conditions. Faults are reported via front-panel LEDs and the control system’s HMI, enabling proactive maintenance and reducing mean time to repair (MTTR).
Rugged Industrial Design: The module’s metal enclosure and conformal-coated PCBs resist dust, moisture, and electromagnetic interference (EMI), ensuring reliable operation in harsh environments. Its wide temperature range eliminates the need for additional climate control, lowering installation and maintenance costs.
