Description
Product Overview
The GE IS215WEMAH1A is a Wind Energy Main Cabinet Board designed for GE’s Mark VIe Turbine Control System, specifically optimized for wind turbine applications. This module serves as a critical interface for managing input/output (I/O) signals, real-time data processing, and grid synchronization in wind energy systems. Its rugged design with conformal coating ensures reliable operation in harsh environments, including offshore wind farms and high-vibration settings 115.
Key components include relays, solid-state switches, thermistor inputs, and digital signal processing circuitry. The board supports 27 digital inputs, 9 relay contact outputs, and 3 solid-state relay outputs, enabling precise control of turbine pitch, yaw, and generator excitation. Its dual analog thermistor inputs monitor temperature variations in critical components like gearboxes and generators 15.
