IS215ACLAH1AM GE EX2100, Original Version Processor Card

Description:

The IS215ACL_ Application Control Layer Module (ACL) is a microprocessorbased master controller used to perform multiple duties over communication networks such as EthernetTM and ISBus. The ACL mounts in a standard Innovation Series™ drive or EX2100 exciter board rack and occupies two half-slots. The ACL and board rack are located in the control cabinet. In drive applications, the ACL’s P1 connector (4-row 128-pin) plugs into the Control Assembly Backplane Board (CABP). In the EX2100 exciter, the ACL mounts in the Exciter Backplane (EBKP).

The ACL can be ordered in two different I/O configurations as follows:
• IS215ACLAH1A Module with one 10BaseT Ethernet port and two serial communication ports (COM1 and COM2), as used in the EX2100
• IS215ACLIH1A Module with one 10BaseT Ethernet port, two serial communication ports (COM1 and COM2), and two ISBus ports

Refer to Figure 1 for the module faceplates.
Optional hardware accessories are available. These items must be ordered separately from the ACL and include the following:
• Serial adapter cable (336A4929G1)
• Serial cable (336A3582P1)
Primary features of the ACL core software include:
• Control blockware language and library
• Online application configuration loading
• I/O points and internal Booleans forcing
• Diagnostics for broken run/start permissives
• Application level alarm messages
• Non-volatile flash memory
• Toolbox interface and support through Ethernet
• Application control for Innovation Series drives

Hardware Features
Integrated circuits on the ACL provide the following features:
• Central processing unit (CPU)
• Peripheral component interconnect (PCI) controller
• 128 K byte level 2 cache
• 8 MB dynamic random access memory (DRAM)
• 4 MB flash memory basic input/output system (BIOS)
• Ethernet
• Bus target interface
• Serial ports COM1 and COM2
• Ethernet
• ISBus communication ports (IS215ACLI only)

Refer to Figure 3 for an ACL functional flow diagram.
CPU incorporates 16 K byte of internal L1 cache. It is a 486 type processor operating at 100 MHz.

PCI controller manages all memory, I/O, and configuration transfers to and from the PCI bus. Memory and I/O transfers are normal reads/writes from the CPU. Configuration reads/writes must be accessed as 32-bit transfers by writing the configuration address to an I/O port, and then accessing another I/O port to read/write the configuration register.

128 KB Level 2 (L2) Cache is controlled by the PCI controller. The L2 cache is preset to produce 152 Ns cache line fills between the L2 cache and the L1 cache.

BIOS is a 1 MB (128 KB x 8) 5 V flash memory device and mounts in a socket on the ACL. See Table 4, Basic BIOS Settings, for settings accessible through the toolbox, as well as through the setup utility. The BIOS will redirect the video display to COM1 if a video BIOS is not found (if there is no PC/104 VGA board installed).
The flash memory BIOS is divided into three sections:
• main BIOS
• BIOS setup utility
• GE Industrial Systems Extended BIOS

Frequently Asked Questions:

1.What is the interface of IS215ACLAH1AM?
Enternet

2.Whats's the Bios of IS215ACLAH1AM?
BlOS is a 1 MB (128 KB x 8) 5 V flash memory device and mounts in a socket onthe ACL. See Table 4, Basic BIOS Settings, for settings accessible through thetoolbox, as well as through the setup utility. The BIOS will redirect the video displayto COll if a video BIOS is not found (if there is no PC/104 VGA board installed).
