Functional Description
IS220PHRAH1B is a HART Enabled Analog Input/Output Module developed by
General Electrics. It is a part of Mark VIe control system. It serves as the critical link,
providing the electrical interface between one or two Input/Output (I/O) Ethernet networks
and an analog input/output terminal board. This package comprises a processor board
that is standardized across all Mark VIe distributed I/O packs and an acquisition board
tailored to the specific needs of analog input functionality. With robust analog input
capabilities, HART communication support, and a range of connectivity options, it is a
valuable addition to industrial systems that rely on precise analog signal management
and communication with intelligent field devices.
Features
Analog Input Capabilities: Adept at managing up to 10 analog inputs, making it a
valuable component for handling a variety of analog signals within your industrial
system.
Current Loop Inputs: For current loop inputs, load termination resistors are
conveniently located on the terminal board. The PHRA senses voltage across these
resistors, facilitating precise measurement and interpretation of current loop signals.
Current Loop Outputs: Offers support for two 4-20 mA current loop outputs. This
feature is essential for sending control signals or data to compatible devices.

HART Communication Relay: In 4-20 mA mode, the PHRA can relay Highway
Addressable Remote Transducer (HART) messages between HART-enabled field
devices and an Asset Management System (AMS). This capability allows seamless
communication and data exchange with intelligent field instruments.
Flexible Device Connectivity: HART-enabled field devices can be connected through
any of the inputs or outputs, providing versatility in the setup and integration of your
analog devices.
Robust Input and Output Connectivity: Input is facilitated through dual RJ45
Ethernet connectors, ensuring reliable and redundant network connections.
Additionally, power input is simplified with a 3-pin connector. Output connections are
established through a DC-62 pin connector that seamlessly links with the
corresponding terminal board connector. This streamlined connectivity simplifies
installation and maintenance processes.
Visual Diagnostics: Equipped with indicator LEDs, offering at-a-glance visual
diagnostics. These LEDs help users quickly assess the status and performance of
the pack.
Local Diagnostic Serial Communications: For in-depth diagnostic and configuration
tasks, local serial communications can be established through an infrared port. This
feature allows convenient interaction with the PHRA, facilitating system
maintenance and troubleshooting.
Installation
Begin the installation by securely mounting the terminal board of your choice in the
desired location.
Insert a single PHRA I/O pack directly into the connector on the terminal board,
ensuring a secure connection.
To enhance mechanical stability, secure the pack in place using the threaded studs
located adjacent to the Ethernet ports. These studs should align with a specific
mounting bracket designed for the terminal board type. Adjust the bracket's position
to prevent any right-angle force from being applied to the DC-62 pin connector that
links the pack to the terminal board. This adjustment is typically a one-time
requirement throughout the product's lifespan.
Depending on your system configuration, connect one or two Ethernet cables to the
pack. The PHRA pack can operate effectively using either port. In the case of dual
connections, it is a common practice to connect ENET1 to the network associated
with the R controller.
Power up the PHRA pack by plugging in the power connector located on the side of
the pack. It is important to note that you do not need to insert this connector with the
power removed from the cable, as the I/O pack incorporates an inherent soft-start
capability. This feature effectively manages the current inrush when power is
applied, ensuring a safe and controlled startup.
Configure the I/O pack as necessary to tailor its operation to your specific
requirements. This step ensures that the PHRA pack functions optimally within your
application, delivering the desired analog input and output functionality.

Analog Input Hardware
Within the PHRA (Process Analog I/O Adapter), the analog input hardware plays a pivotal
role in processing and interpreting input voltage signals from the terminal board. This
essential hardware section is designed to accommodate signals from all 10 input
channels, ensuring accurate and reliable data acquisition.
Key Components of the Analog Input Hardware
Analog Multiplexer Block: At the core of the analog input hardware is an analog
multiplexer block. This component serves as the gateway for incoming voltage
signals, allowing for the selection and routing of signals from various input channels.
It efficiently manages the flow of data, ensuring that the right channel is accessed at
the right time.
Gain and Scaling Selections: The analog input section incorporates several gain
and scaling options. These selections enable users to adapt the input signals to
match the desired range and precision, ensuring that the data acquired is both
accurate and suitable for the application's requirements.
16-bit Analog-to-Digital Converter (DAC): To transform analog voltage signals into
digital data that can be processed by the system, a high-resolution 16-bit analog-todigital converter (DAC) is employed. This component precisely quantizes the analog
input, converting it into digital values that can be easily processed, stored, and
utilized by the system's control and monitoring functions.
The combination of these components within the analog input hardware ensures that the
PHRA can effectively handle a wide range of analog input signals with precision and
efficiency. It provides the necessary flexibility and accuracy to interpret real-world analog
data, making it an indispensable component in applications that require reliable analog
signal processing and conversion.
Processor
High-Speed Processor with Memory: At its core, the processor board houses a
high-speed processor bolstered by Random Access Memory (RAM) and flash
memory. This powerful configuration ensures rapid data processing and storage
capabilities essential for system operations and management.
Dual Independent Ethernet Ports: Two fully independent 10/100 Ethernet ports,
accompanied by connectors, provide versatile and reliable networking capabilities.
This feature enables seamless communication and data transfer across networked
devices or systems.
Hardware Watchdog Timer and Reset Circuit: A hardware watchdog timer and reset
circuit serve as critical safeguards, ensuring system stability by monitoring
operations and initiating resets when necessary to prevent potential system failures.
Local Ambient Temperature Sensor: Incorporating a local ambient temperature
sensor, the processor board actively monitors temperature variations, contributing to
system stability and preventing overheating issues.
