IS215UCVEM01A GE IS215UCVEH2AE PCB Mark VI, AE Power Supply Board

Description:

The Mark VI UCVE controller is a 6U high, single or double slot, single board computer (SBC) that operates the turbine application code. The controller mounts in a VME rack called the control module, and communicates with the turbine I/O boards through the VME bus. The controller operating system is QNX, a real time, multitasking OS designed for high-speed, high reliability industrial applications.

Three communication ports provide links to operator and engineering interfaces as follows:

• Ethernet connections to the UDH for communication with HMIs, and other control equipment
• RS-232C connection for setup using the COM1 port
• RS-232C connection for communication with DCS systems using the COM2 port (such as Modbus slave)

Three controller versions are in use. The single slot UCVE is the current generation controller. The double slot UCVB and UCVD are no longer shipped with new systems, but are still in use in older systems. The UCVE may be used to replace these other controllers, but requires a backplane upgrade. If replacing a ICVB, an Ethernet cabling upgrade is also required.

The UCVE is available in two different forms, UCVEH2 and UCVEM01. The UCVEH2 is the standard Mark VI controller (see Figure 9-1). It is a single-slot board using a 300 MHz Intel Celeron processor with 16 Mb of flash memory and 32 Mb of DRAM. A single 10BaseT (RJ-45) Ethernet port provides connectivity to the UDH.

The UCVEM01 has all of the features of the UCVEH2 with the addition of a second 10BaseT Ethernet port for use on a separate IP logical subnet, as shown in Figure 9-2. Configuration of the second Ethernet port is performed through the toolbox.

The controller validates its toolbox configuration against the existing hardware each time the rack is powered up.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q1: What gives the IS215UCVEM01A its 210 assembly level rating?
The IS215UCVEM01A models were originally differentiated between 200 level uncoated boards and 210 level coated boards.

Q2: What does the "IS210" series tag present in the IS215UCVEM01A product number signify?
The IS210 series tag present in the functional IS210AEPSG1A product number details this PCB as a domestically-manufactured product with a special assembly version.
