Features:
- Adds ten compact HSSL interfaces to a UCSB controller.
- Connects the controller with EX2100e I/O and bridge-interface boards.
- Fits the control-module architecture selected for the exciter configuration.
The expansion board gives a UCSB controller additional serial-link endpoints without moving I/O processing into the controller chassis wiring.
Each HSSL port forms part of the communications topology between the controller and a defined downstream board or module.
Use of the CSLA depends on the controller platform and on whether the control arrangement is simplex or redundant.
Map every HSSL port and control section before assigning General Electric IS200CSLAH1A within an EX2100e configuration.

Important Notice: Use the H1A hardware identity and the configured UCSB topology when allocating the ten HSSL interfaces.
Serial-link capacity added to UCSB
- Port Count: Ten compact HSSL interfaces are available.
- Expansion Role: The ports extend the UCSB controller's I/O reach.
- Serial Topology: Each link connects the control section to an assigned module path.
- Board Scope: The CSLA carries communications rather than executing regulation loops.
Relationship with the host controller
- Host Controller: The board operates with a UCSB controller.
- Control Location: Both devices reside in the EX2100e control module.
- Data Exchange: HSSL transfers control and status data between the controller and I/O.
- Platform Choice: The selected controller configuration determines whether CSLA expansion is required.
Devices reached through HSSL
- I/O Boards: HSSL ports link the UCSB to I/O modules.
- Bridge Boards: Bridge-interface boards use the same expansion network.
- Dedicated Paths: Port assignment follows the configured board topology.
- Interface Count: Ten links set the physical expansion limit per CSLA board.
Simplex and redundant arrangements
- Simplex: A simplex system uses its single controller section and associated links.
- Redundant: Redundant layouts distribute control among M1, M2 and C sections.
- Configuration Basis: The controller and I/O arrangement decides the CSLA placement.
- System Family: The board belongs to the EX2100e excitation-control architecture.
