Description:

GE IS220UCSAH1A Embedded Controller Module

The IS220UCSAH1A is a high-performance Processor/Controller developed by General Electric (GE) for the Mark VI system. As part of the Speedtronic series, the Mark VI platform is primarily designed to control and manage gas and steam turbines. However, the IS220UCSAH1A extends its applications beyond traditional turbine control to include wind turbine management, making it a versatile choice for GE-compatible systems. Unlike the original IS220UCSAH1 PAMC Acoustic Monitor Processor Module, the IS220UCSAH1A features an upgraded design with an A-rated primary functional product revision, ensuring enhanced performance and reliability.

Features

1.Storage and Certification: The controller module is designed for use with the Mark VIe UCSA controller. It employs compact flash storage for its operational needs. It is important to note that this controller is not certified for IEC61508 safety loop usage, meaning it may not be suitable for applications with stringent safety requirements.

2.Power Requirements: The module requires a power supply in the range of 18 V DC to 32 V DC. This flexibility in power input, with a typical power consumption of 12.5 Watts, ensures compatibility with a variety of power sources, making it versatile and adaptable.

3.Temperature Tolerance: The controller exhibits robust temperature tolerance, allowing it to operate effectively in a wide range of environmental conditions. It can function reliably in temperatures ranging from 0 to 65 degrees Celsius. Moreover, it is designed without the need for a fan for cooling, simplifying its installation and maintenance while maintaining a cool operational profile.

4.Hazardous Environments: The controller module is suitable for use in hazardous environments and is compatible with NFPA Class 1, Div. 2 applications. This means it can be employed safely in areas where potentially explosive substances are present, further extending its range of possible use cases.

5.Front Faceplate Connectivity: The front faceplate of the controller module features a set of user-friendly connectivity options. It includes six female jack connectors, allowing for easy and secure cable connections. Additionally, a USB port is provided for convenient data exchange and configuration. The faceplate also incorporates a series of LED indicators that provide valuable information about the module's status and operation.

6.LED Indications: The LED indicators on the front panel offer essential insights into the controller's status. The Link/Act LED indicators on the left side of the faceplate provide real-time feedback on network connectivity. In the center of the faceplate, a line of LED indicators is labeled Power, Boot, Online, Flash, DC (indicating power source status), and Diag (diagnostic status). These LEDs make it easy to monitor the controller's operational health and detect any issues.

7.Ethernet Connectivity: Supports Ethernet connections through jack connectors. This feature allows seamless integration with other control systems, such as Mark VI, Mark VIe, or EX2100 excitation controls. It also facilitates communication with maintenance and operator stations, enabling remote monitoring and control capabilities.
