Key Features and Advantages
12 independent relay channels in a compact 6U form factor reduce rack space requirements, simplifying system architecture in large-scale installations such as power plant control rooms. The module’s relay output configuration supports both electromagnetic and solid-state relays, providing flexibility for diverse actuator types.
2500 V RMS galvanic isolation prevents electrical noise, ground loops, and transient voltage spikes from disrupting signal integrity—critical in industrial environments with high electromagnetic interference. This isolation ensures reliable operation even in proximity to high-voltage equipment.
<1 ms response time ensures rapid execution of control commands, making the IS220PDOAH1A 336A4940CSP2 ideal for safety systems (e.g., emergency shutdown circuits) and high-speed machinery requiring split-second actuation.
Supports triple modular redundancy, where three identical modules process the same outputs and “vote” on valid signals, eliminating single-point failures and ensuring compliance with safety standards like SIL 3. This redundancy is crucial in applications where downtime is unacceptable, such as nuclear power plants.
Allows module replacement without powering down the system, minimizing downtime in continuous-operation environments such as refineries and power plants. The design includes mechanical locks and electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection to ensure safe and reliable field maintenance.
Built-in self-test functions monitor channel health, detect open circuits or short circuits, and trigger alarms via front-panel LEDs and system software. This proactive troubleshooting reduces mean time to repair (MTTR) and enhances operational efficiency.
Conformal coating and MIL-STD-810G compliance ensure reliable operation in extreme temperatures, vibration, and humidity—essential for offshore platforms, mining sites, and desert power plants. The module’s IP20-rated enclosure protects against dust and accidental contact.
Application Areas
- Power Generation:
Controls turbine trip valves, generator circuit breakers, and cooling system pumps in thermal, hydro, and nuclear plants, enabling safe shutdowns and load balancing. - Oil & Gas:
Drives valve actuators, pressure relief systems, and emergency shutdown (ESD) networks in pipelines, refineries, and offshore rigs, ensuring compliance with safety regulations. - Manufacturing:
Integrates with robotic cells, conveyor systems, and assembly lines to control pneumatic valves, motor starters, and safety interlocks, maintaining production continuity. - Chemical Processing:
Manages agitator motors, reactor feed valves, and tank level control systems, ensuring process stability and preventing hazardous overflows.

Installation and Maintenance
Ensure the Mark VIe rack is properly grounded and ventilated, with a stable 24 V DC power supply. Verify compatibility with existing system firmware using GE’s Mark VIe Configuration Tool. Mount the IS220PDOAH1A 336A4940CSP2 in the 6U VMEbus slot, securing it with anti-vibration screws to prevent loosening in high-vibration environments. Route output cables separately from high-voltage lines to minimize interference, and use shielded wiring for signals to outdoor or noisy actuators.
Perform monthly visual inspections of front-panel LEDs to check for channel faults or power issues. Use GE’s Proficy Machine Edition software to run diagnostic tests, verifying output responsiveness and isolation integrity. Clean dust from vents quarterly using compressed air, especially in dusty industrial environments. Calibrate relay contact resistance annually using a precision multimeter to ensure reliable switching. Store spare IS220PDOAH1A 336A4940CSP2 modules in anti-static packaging at 10–30°C with <50% humidity, and test them annually to confirm functionality.
