Working Principle: The IS215WEPAH2B acts as a central analog signal conditioning hub. Raw analog signals from field sensors are routed through various terminal boards (such as TBQA, TBQB, and TBQC) to the TCQA board. The board’s analog front-end scales, filters, and conditions these signals into standardized digital formats. Depending on the signal type, the processed data is transmitted over the 3PL data bus to the STCA board for core processing, or routed via the JE connector to the TCQC board for actuator control and generator synchronization.
