IS200SPIDG1A Mark VIe Control System

Functional Overview
The IS200SPIDG1A 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.

The ultimate goal is for AI to generate actual value

Although the popularity of artificial intelligence continues, people’s attention has gradually shifted from the surprises brought by new technologies to actual scene applications and implementation. Especially in the manufacturing field, new technologies that hope to move from the laboratory to the production workshop will inevitably undergo strict consideration by the enterprise in terms of input and output.

Recently, at the 2019 Greater Bay Area Robotics and Artificial Intelligence Conference “Insights into the Development Trends and Applications of the Internet of Things Industry in the 5G and AI Era” sub-forum, well-known experts in the field of Internet of Things and AI at home and abroad and senior executives of cutting-edge technology companies expressed their opinions on the development of the Internet of Things industry . An in-depth discussion of trends and applications. At the forum, Alf Isaksson, global R&D manager of ABB Future Laboratory, gave a speech titled “Artificial Intelligence Makes Autonomous Industrial Systems Possible” and accepted an exclusive interview with Yiou New Manufacturing.

Alf said in the interview that AI technology is another tool in the toolbox. Although it cannot solve all problems, it is indeed one of our most powerful tools.

The only way to stay on top of the trend: adjust business models and change organizational structures

As a company with a history of more than 130 years, ABB has always been forward-looking in its business, so it can always stay at the forefront of business competition. Going back to the 1880s, ABB’s predecessor, ASEA, started in the power industry.

At the end of the 20th century, as Europe’s power production capacity became saturated, ASEA merged with another European electrical company, BBC (Brown, Boveri & Cie), to form today’s ABB (Asea Brown Boveri).

In the past 30 years, ABB has gradually focused on the field of industrial production through the strategy of divesting original businesses and expanding advantageous businesses through mergers and acquisitions.

ABB divested its broadcast transmission equipment, antenna and electronic tube businesses in 1993; from 1995 to 1998, it divested its railway sector whose profitability had declined; from 2019 to 2020, it will gradually divest itself of its power grid transmission business. You can get a glimpse of the transformational courage of a strong man who cut off his wrist.

At the same time, ABB has used mergers and acquisitions to expand its robotics, automation and digital businesses, and has gradually become a pioneer in the field of manufacturing digitalization.

Today, ABB has a team of more than 8,000 engineers and R&D laboratories located in more than ten countries and regions. This summer, the ABB Future Laboratory headed by Alf was established, located in Baden, Switzerland, Raleigh, the United States, and Beijing, China. Future laboratories will be more directly managed and funded by enterprises, focusing on disruptive technologies and innovations.
