IS200FOSAG1A Mark VIe Control System

Functional Overview
The IS200FOSAG1A is a 24-channel discrete (digital) input module in the GE Mark VIe control system. Its primary function is to collect discrete signals (contact open/close signals) generated by field devices such as sensors,
 switches, and relays, convert them into digital signals that can be recognized and processed by the PLC or control system CPU,
and transmit the processed data to the GE Speedtronic turbine control system or other control equipment, enabling automated control and monitoring.

Germany’s “Industry 4.0” and the United States’ “Industrial Internet” will restructure the world’s industrial layout and economic structure, bringing different challenges and opportunities to countries around the world. The State Council of China issued “Made in China 2025” as an action plan for the first ten years of implementing the strategy of manufacturing a strong country, which will accelerate the integrated development of IoT technology and manufacturing technology [1]. IoT collects data on machine operations, material usage, facility logistics, etc., bringing transparency to operators. This transparency is brought about by the application of data analytics, which refers to the use of statistical and machine learning methods to discover different data characteristics and patterns. Machine learning technology is increasingly used in various manufacturing applications, such as predictive maintenance, test time reduction, supply chain optimization, and process optimization, etc. [2-4]. The manufacturing process of enterprises has gradually developed from the traditional “black box” model to the “multi-dimensional, transparent and ubiquitous perception” model [5].

1 Challenges facing manufacturing analysis

The goal of manufacturing analytics is to increase productivity by reducing costs without compromising quality:

(1) Reduce test time and calibration, including predicting test results and calibration parameters;

(2) Improve quality and reduce the cost of producing scrap (bad parts) by identifying the root causes of scrap and optimizing the production line on its own;

(3) Reduce warranty costs, use quality testing and process data to predict field failures, and cross-value stream analysis;

(4) Increase throughput, benchmark across production lines and plants, improve first-pass rates, improve first-pass throughput, and identify the cause of performance bottlenecks such as overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) or cycle time;
