IS210MACCH1AKH | GE Electric Mark VIe Communication Controller module
Product Description
The GE IS210MACCH1AKH is a Mark VIe Communication Controller module designed to provide high-speed, redundant communication between control hardware and plant networks in industrial automation systems. It functions as a critical bridge, synchronizing data exchange between controllers, I/O modules, HMIs, and higher-level SCADA systems while ensuring deterministic performance for turbine control, process safety, and real-time monitoring.
Key Features
- Deterministic Communication: Dual-redundant 100 Mbps Ethernet ports with IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol (PTP) synchronization.
- Hardware Redundancy: Supports hot-swappable operation for zero-downtime maintenance.
- Fiber-Optic Connectivity: Integrated optical ports (ST connectors) for noise immunity in harsh environments.
- Synchronization Master: Acts as a “SYNCH Lock” source for time-critical control loops.
- Seamless Integration: Native compatibility with Mark VIe, EX2100e, and RX3i systems.
- Advanced Diagnostics: Real-time network health monitoring and fault logging.
