GE IS220PPROH1A
Turbine Protection I/O Pack designed for GE Mark VIe control system, managing emergency shutdown and overspeed protection for gas and steam turbines.
-
Product Introduction: A high-integrity turbine protection I/O pack that serves as a localized intelligence center, digitizing critical safety signals directly at the terminal board to minimize signal latency. Engineered to handle high-speed pulse inputs for turbine shaft speed monitoring and hard-wired emergency trip strings.

-
Input Channels:
-
3 speed inputs (magnetic pickup or active)
-
12 logic inputs (contact inputs)
-
9 thermocouple inputs
-
-
Network: Dual 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports (IONet) for fault-tolerant communication
-
Redundancy: Supports Triple Modular Redundant (TMR) architecture
-
Certification: SIL 2/3 capable in approved configurations
-
-
Core Functions: Turbine signal acquisition, hardware-level overspeed protection, emergency trip control.
-
Working Principle: Utilizes dual IONet ports to provide a robust communication bridge to controllers, ensuring protection logic remains active even during localized network failure. Typically works with TREAH_A terminal board for aero-derivative turbine emergency trip applications.
-
Structural Features: Works with TREAH_A terminal board for aero-derivative turbine emergency trip applications; aluminum or stainless steel housing; typically mounts to SPRO terminal board using side jackscrews.
-
Installation Requirements:
-
In TMR systems, three PPRO packs must be installed across the three cores to maintain 2-out-of-3 (2oo3) voting integrity
-
Use high-quality shielded twisted-pair cabling for magnetic pickup inputs to prevent electromagnetic interference
-
Tighten side jackscrews to specified torque when mounting to SPRO terminal board to ensure internal connectors and ground paths are fully engaged
-
-
Usage Notes:
-
Monitor the “ATTN” (Attention) LED; a solid amber light indicates the pack is in a “Not Ready” state, typically due to firmware mismatch or failure to synchronize with the IONet master
-
Supports TMR (Triple Modular Redundancy) and simplex backup protection
-
-
Applications: Large-scale gas and steam turbine emergency shutdown, overspeed protection, and critical safety trip control in power generation.
