• Series: GE Speedtronic Mark VI Turbine Control System, dedicated digital I/O module

• Product Type: Mixed Digital Input/Output (DI/DO) Module, 8 DI + 8 DO (16 channels total)

• Revision: A1B1C hardware revision, 24VDC compatible, industrial-grade anti-vibration & wide-temperature enhanced design

• Core Purpose: Digital signal acquisition, status monitoring, actuator control for gas/steam turbine control systems

2. Core Functions

1. Bidirectional Digital Signal Interaction: 8 independent digital inputs (DI) + 8 independent digital outputs (DO) for switch signal collection and control command output, compatible with valves, pumps, relays, limit switches, alarm contacts and other field devices.

2. Flexible Input Configuration: DI supports dry contact (passive, module provides 24VDC internal excitation) and wet contact (active 18–32VDC) modes, software-switchable, compatible with various field sensors and switch signals.

3. Safety Control Output: DO provides relay/solid-state output to drive field actuators, supports redundant configuration, adapts to Mark VI triple-redundant architecture, and executes unit safety shutdown and interlock protection logic.

4. System Compatibility & Diagnostics: Seamlessly connects to Mark VI control system backplane bus, supports channel status monitoring, fault diagnosis, open/short circuit detection for easy maintenance and fault location.

5. Industrial-Grade Stable Operation: Anti-electromagnetic interference, anti-vibration, wide-temperature design, ensuring long-term reliable operation in harsh conditions such as power plants and oil & gas facilities.
