4. Operating Principle
The GE IS200TSVCH2AED Enhanced Temperature Signal Conditioning Module follows a complete workflow:
Raw signal input from field temperature sensors → Independent channel optical isolation protection → Adaptive hardware & software dual filtering → Signal shaping and precise amplitude calibration → Dynamic thermal drift compensation and linearization correction → High-precision AD analog-to-digital conversion → Data self-check and fault-tolerant screening → Standardized digital signal upload to main control system.
Raw temperature signals collected from measuring points including unit bearings, exhaust paths, casings and auxiliary equipment are first fed into independent isolated channels of the module. Enhanced optical isolation circuits realize complete galvanic separation between field equipment and the control system, thoroughly eliminating signal anomalies induced by ground potential difference and electromagnetic interference.

Upgraded algorithms then complete full-range linearization correction and ambient dynamic thermal drift compensation to restore accurate and authentic thermal condition data.
