Description
🔹 Product Description
The General Electric IS420PUAAH1A is a 16-channel Universal Analog I/O Pack designed for GE Mark VIe control systems. The module provides individually configurable simplex I/O channels, allowing different field signal types to be handled within one compact I/O pack. Supported signal functions include thermocouple, RTD, voltage input, 4–20 mA current input, 0–20 mA current output, pulse accumulator, and digital input functions. The module communicates through the Mark VIe IONet architecture and supports automatic reconfiguration and hot-swappable replacement. GE documentation identifies the PUAA family as a universal analog I/O platform with 16 programmable channels.
