More Information

Overview Manuals Control Cycle Rack Integration Operating Limits Front Service

Features:

  • Combines turbine-control processing, working memory, nonvolatile storage, and service access on one Mark VI controller board.
  • Coordinates process data with either simplex or voted I/O arrangements through the established rack architecture.
  • Provides separate front-panel indications for controller power, flash activity, VMEbus status, and Ethernet traffic.
The visible status pattern lets a technician distinguish controller power and bus health from Ethernet link activity before changing configuration.

Front-panel service connections support initial setup, low-level monitoring, and serial communication without disturbing field I/O terminations elsewhere in the cabinet.

For steam, gas, and LM aero-derivative installations, the controller works with the Mark VI function-block environment used to assemble the plant control strategy.

After OEM end-of-life, the General Electric IS215UCVEH2A Mark VI single-slot VME controller board may still be sourced with replacement support from Apter Power.
General Electric IS215UCVEH2A Mark VI single-slot VME controller board Manuals, Datasheets, LinksImportant Notice: Other accessories, manuals, cables, calibration data, software, etc. are not included with this equipment unless listed in the above stock item description. All prices are shown in USD.

Control work handled by IS215UCVEH2A

  • Application timing: The controller can run its program on frames as fast as 10 ms when the configured system size permits.
  • Logic resources: Steam, gas, and LM aero-derivative functions can be assembled from the established Turbine Block Library.
  • Processor focus: Application calculations remain on the controller while supporting communication hardware moves process information.
  • Simplex behavior: A simplex installation presents its process I/O data directly to the controller task.
  • TMR behavior: A triple-modular-redundant installation presents voted I/O values to each controller process.

Placement and rack relationships for IS215UCVEH2A

  • Reserved position: The controller belongs in slot 2 of a compatible Mark VI I/O rack.
  • Connector clearance: That rack position is distinguished by the absence of J3 and J4 connectors beneath the board.
  • Bus exchange: External controller data crosses the VME backplane through the neighboring VCMI communication board.
  • Board coordination: The VCMI relationship must remain intact because it joins the processor to the rack communication path.
  • Replacement fit: A spare has to reproduce the slot, backplane, and adjacent-board arrangement of the installed controller.

Cabinet conditions qualified for IS215UCVEH2A

  • Operating range: The control module is qualified for 0 to 60 degrees C at the installed site.
  • Storage range: Unpowered hardware may be stored from -40 to 80 degrees C.
  • Moisture limit: Relative humidity may range from 5 to 95% when condensation is prevented.
  • Mechanical exposure: Installed equipment is rated for 1.0 G horizontal and 0.5 G vertical vibration from 15 to 120 Hz.
  • Cabinet protection: A standard Mark VI cabinet corresponds to NEMA 1 protection, similar to IP20.
  • Hazardous area: The board appears in the Class I, Division 2, Groups A through D listing with a T4 temperature class.

Service indications and connections on IS215UCVEH2A

  • Bus status: A VMEbus SYSFAIL lamp separates a rack-bus condition from ordinary network activity.
  • Program activity: Flash and power indicators show whether the controller is energized and accessing nonvolatile storage.
  • Ethernet state: Dedicated active and link lamps provide a direct view of Unit Data Highway traffic at the controller faceplate.
  • Local monitor: The SVGA and keyboard or mouse connections are reserved for GE service access.
  • Serial access: COM1 supports initial controller work, while COM2 is available for serial communication.
  • Faceplate identity: The UCVE H2A marking at the bottom edge distinguishes this controller variant during cabinet inspection.
Description
A single-slot VME application processor for Mark VI turbine racks is provided by the General Electric IS215UCVEH2A Controller Board. It combines deterministic control execution with the supervisory resources needed to organize controller activity around the installed I/O architecture.

During operation, IS215UCVEH2A runs the control program while the surrounding Mark VI communication structure moves external process data. This division of work keeps application logic coordinated with the rack hardware without turning the processor into a generic stand-alone VME computer.

The base software associated with IS215UCVEH2A includes the established Turbine Block Library used for steam, gas, and LM aero-derivative control functions. That software vocabulary supports plant-specific strategies while retaining the function-block behavior familiar to Mark VI service teams.

In retrofit planning, IS215UCVEH2A should be treated as a controller tied to the mechanical and communication relationships of its Mark VI cabinet. A replacement therefore has to preserve the surrounding platform arrangement as well as the controller identity.

FAQS

The following is a list of questions commonly asked by our customers. Please contact us if you have a question about our process that is not answered below.
Why does IS215UCVEH2A have to occupy slot 2 in the Mark VI rack?
IS215UCVEH2A is designed for slot 2, where the compatible rack omits J3 and J4 connectors beneath the controller. Move IS215UCVEH2A back to that reserved position if a placement check finds it elsewhere.
Why is the Unit Data Highway connection missing after replacing IS215UCVEH2A?
Configure the TCP/IP address of IS215UCVEH2A with the serial loader before reconnecting the Ethernet cable. Then power the rack and confirm the Unit Data Highway link indicators.
What should be loaded first when commissioning a spare IS215UCVEH2A?
Use Toolbox to download runtime to IS215UCVEH2A before sending the application code. Store the application permanently only after the runtime is present and the replacement has started correctly.
Which loading hardware is appropriate for the flash system in IS215UCVEH2A?
IS215UCVEH2A is a UCVE controller, so its flash system is prepared with the compact-flash programmer supplied for that controller generation rather than the UCVB or UCVD serial-loading method.
What should be disconnected before removing a failed IS215UCVEH2A?
Power down the rack and disconnect every front cable from IS215UCVEH2A. Pull the adjacent VCMI far enough to release the backplane connection before withdrawing the controller.
How should a technician respond if IS215UCVEH2A still does not communicate after its application is loaded?
Power down the rack, reseat the VCMI fully in the backplane, and power up again. This final IS215UCVEH2A replacement step restores the controller-to-rack communication path.
How can the front indicators on IS215UCVEH2A narrow a startup fault?
Read the power, flash-activity, VMEbus SYSFAIL, Ethernet active, and Ethernet link indications on IS215UCVEH2A separately. Their pattern helps distinguish a rack or bus problem from a loading or network issue.
