Product Description

Product Description

The GE Central Control Module is the core processing and coordination unit within GE’s industrial automation and turbine control platforms, such as the Mark V and Mark VIe Speedtronic systems. Acting as the “brain” of the control system, it executes real-time control algorithms, manages communication with distributed I/O modules, and ensures safe and efficient operation of critical processes. With its robust design and advanced diagnostics, the Central Control Module delivers high availability and fault-tolerant control for mission-critical applications in power generation, oil & gas, and heavy industries.
