GE 20836416 Industrial Control Module

This control module serves as a critical component for maintaining operational efficiency in demanding industrial environments. Designed for precision control of automated systems, it’s commonly deployed in manufacturing plants, energy facilities, and process industries where consistent performance matters. Its compact footprint and robust construction make it particularly suited for installations where space constraints and environmental challenges coexist.

Technical Specifications

Field technicians often deploy this module alongside GE’s VMIVME-7807 processor cards and IS200SRTDH2A communication modules to create integrated control systems. It’s particularly popular in retrofitting older machinery with modern control capabilities – one plant manager mentioned how installing these modules reduced their bottling line downtime by 40%. The compact design makes it ideal for upgrading legacy systems in tight spaces, while maintaining compatibility with existing SCADA networks.

What sets this module apart is its dual redundancy design – both power supply and communication channels feature built-in failover capabilities. The RS-485 interface works seamlessly with Modbus RTU protocols, while the aluminum housing provides excellent heat dissipation without requiring additional cooling. In extreme conditions, the -40°C to 85°C storage temperature range ensures components remain protected during equipment shutdowns. Unlike some competitors’ offerings, the IP65 rating holds up well in high-humidity environments common in food processing plants.
