Description
General Electric (GE) IS220PRTDH1B
The IS220PRTDH1B is a high-performance Resistance Temperature Detector (RTD) input module designed for GE’s Mark VIe and Mark VIeS distributed control systems. This module serves as a critical interface between Ethernet networks and RTD terminal boards, enabling precise temperature measurement and control in industrial applications such as power generation, oil & gas, and chemical processing. Built with advanced signal conditioning and ruggedized components, it ensures reliable operation in harsh environments while delivering accurate temperature data for mission-critical systems.
The
IS220PRTDH1B acts as a bridge within GE’s Mark VIe architecture, managing communication between I/O networks and RTD terminal boards. It supports up to
8 RTD inputs with 3-wire configuration, enabling direct connection to platinum (Pt100/Pt1000) or nickel (Ni1000) sensors. Key features include:
- Dual Ethernet Connectivity: Two 10/100 Mbps ports for seamless integration with plant-wide networks, ensuring redundancy and fault tolerance.
- High-Accuracy Measurement: A 24-bit A/D converter with ±0.1% full-scale accuracy (typical) and resolution up to 0.01°C, ideal for applications requiring precise temperature monitoring 124.
- Dynamic Signal Processing: Advanced filtering algorithms reduce noise interference, while fast scan rates (up to 25 samples/second) enable real-time temperature tracking 1.
- Auto-Reconfiguration: Automatically adjusts settings when replaced, minimizing downtime during maintenance.
- Extreme Environment Compatibility: Conformal coating and extended temperature range (-30°C to 65°C) make it suitable for corrosive or high-vibration environments 124.

IS220PRTDH1B
- High Reliability: Achieves a mean time between failures (MTBF) exceeding 200,000 hours, supported by self-diagnostic algorithms and redundant power inputs 1.
- Energy Efficiency: Low power consumption (2.5W typical) and optimized signal processing reduce operational costs.
- Ease of Integration: Seamless compatibility with GE’s Control System Toolbox for configuration and monitoring, including auto-detection of RTD types and cable resistance compensation 1.
- Safety Compliance: SIL 2-rated variants available for safety-critical applications, ensuring compliance with industry standards.
- Industry-Specific Design: Conformal coating and corrosion-resistant materials ensure longevity in petrochemical, offshore, and wastewater treatment environments 124.
Industries:
- Power Generation (gas/steam turbines, boilers)
- Oil & Gas (refineries, offshore platforms)
- Chemical Processing (reactor temperature control)
- Water/Wastewater Treatment (process monitoring)
Case Study:
In a natural gas power plant, the IS220PRTDH1B monitors the temperature of a gas turbine’s combustion chamber using Pt100 sensors. Its high accuracy and fast scan rate enable precise control of fuel-air mixture, reducing NOx emissions by 15% and extending maintenance intervals by 20% compared to legacy systems 1.
The IS220PRTDH1B outperforms similar modules in:
- Multi-Channel Support: Supports 8 RTD inputs, whereas many alternatives limit to 4 channels (e.g., Siemens EM231) 21.
- Communication Flexibility: Built-in dual Ethernet ports eliminate the need for additional network adapters, unlike some competitors requiring external switches.
- Environmental Resilience: Conformal coating and extended temperature range exceed industry standards for harsh environments, such as ABB AI830A 3031.

IS220PRTDH1B
- Compatibility: Ensure alignment with GE Mark VIe systems and existing I/O networks.
- Environment: Choose the conformal-coated variant (catalog suffix “K”) for corrosive or dusty environments.
- Redundancy: Opt for hot-swappable configurations to minimize downtime in critical operations.
- Budget: Refurbished units offer cost savings without compromising performance.
- ESD Protection: Handle with anti-static gloves and storage bags to prevent damage.
- Firmware Updates: Regularly update firmware via GE’s Control System Toolbox to address security vulnerabilities.
- Mounting: Securely fasten the module to avoid vibrations in high-vibration environments.
- Power Supply: Use a filtered power source to prevent voltage spikes.
