Product overview
The GE IS220PAICH1B is an analog I/O suite from the GE Mark VIe family. It is mainly used as an electrical interface between one or two I/O Ethernet networks and the analog input terminal board, in industrial automation systems, to provide the control system with accurate analog input and output processing capabilities.
The kit can handle up to 10 analog inputs, the first eight can be flexibly configured as 5 V or 10 V inputs or 0-20 mA current loop inputs, and the last two can be configured as 1 mA or 0-20 mA current inputs. It also has two 0-20 mA current loop outputs. GE IS220PAICH1B supports automatic reconfiguration. When the controller detects that the I/O package is started with different configurations and the function is enabled, the controller automatically downloads the reconfiguration file from the controller to the I/O package, facilitating maintenance and replacement.

Main features and advantages
High-precision analog processing: GE IS220PAICH1B uses 16-bit analog-to-digital converter to process analog input, and 14-bit digital-to-analog converter is used for analog output, which can accurately collect and output analog signals to meet various industrial control scenarios with high precision requirements.
Flexible input configuration: The module’s analog input channel has multiple configuration options to adapt to different types of sensor output signals, including voltage signals and current signals, without the need for additional signal conversion equipment, reducing system cost and complexity.
Automatic reconfiguration function: The automatic reconfiguration function is a highlight of the GE IS220PAICH1B. When I/O packages are replaced or system configuration changes, it automatically communicates with the controller and downloads the latest configuration file, eliminating the need to manually reconfigure each package or module, greatly improving system maintainability and flexibility, and reducing downtime.
Reliable hardware design: With a soft start circuit, the voltage on the processor board is increased smoothly when the input power is applied, protecting the internal circuit from voltage shocks. At the same time, the built-in solid state circuit breaker provides overcurrent protection, which enhances the stability and reliability of the module.
