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.

Important 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.
