Functional Description

IS230TURSH2CA is an I/O Module developed by GE. It is a part of the Mark VIe control system. It features a TMS320C32 digital signal processor (DSP) that digitally filters input data and converts it into 32-bit IEEE-854 floating-point format for high precision and reliability.

Form Factor and Mounting

The module is built with a compact and rugged DIN-rail form factor, enabling straightforward and secure mounting inside industrial control panels. DIN-rail mounting is widely adopted across automation and control systems due to its ease of use, modularity, and efficient space utilization. This mounting method also facilitates cleaner wiring layouts and easier access during maintenance or upgrades. The robust physical design makes it well-suited for demanding industrial environments, ensuring both mechanical stability and operational reliability over extended periods.

Processor and Signal Processing

• At the core is the Texas Instruments TMS320C32 DSP (Digital Signal Processor). This high-speed processor plays a critical role in:
• Digitally filtering input signals to ensure clean and accurate data.
• Performing pre-processing of signals before further analysis or transmission.
• Converting the filtered data into a 32-bit IEEE-854 floating-point format, which supports higher precision and a wider dynamic range for numerical computations.

Data Storage and Communication

• Once processed, the data is stored in a dual-port memory system. This memory is specially designed to allow simultaneous access from two different sources:
• One side is accessed by the on-board TMS320C32 DSP, which handles real-time data acquisition and processing.
• The other side connects to the VME bus, a high-speed data bus used by the Mark VIe control system for communication with the main controller or other system components.
• This architecture ensures efficient, high-speed data transfer between the module and the rest of the control system, minimizing latency and maximizing real-time performance.
