4. Operating Principle
The GE IS200TSVCH2ADC Temperature Signal Conditioning Module follows a standardized workflow:
Raw signal input from field temperature sensors → Channel galvanic optical isolation → Hardware high-frequency filtering → Signal shaping and amplitude calibration → Temperature linearization correction and thermal drift compensation → High-precision AD analog-to-digital conversion → Digital data verification and fault-tolerant processing → Standardized data upload to main control system.
Raw temperature sensing signals collected from measuring points including unit bearings, exhaust paths, casings and auxiliary equipment are first fed into independent measurement channels of the module. Optical isolation circuits realize galvanic separation between field equipment and the control system to eliminate signal anomalies induced by ground potential difference and electromagnetic interference.
Isolated analog temperature signals go through multi-stage hardware filtering and software digital filtering to remove industrial clutter and transient interference. Built-in temperature algorithms then complete nonlinear correction and ambient thermal drift compensation to restore authentic and accurate thermal condition data.
Calibrated analog signals are converted into standard digital signals via high-resolution AD converters. The module simultaneously executes data self-check, channel status judgment and anomaly screening, and finally transmits valid temperature data steadily to the Mark VI/VIe main control system.
