About the IS215ACLEH1B
This IS215ACLEH1B modular assembly product offering from General Electric was originally designed and manufactured specifically with the EX2100 or EX2100E Excitation Control System Series in mind. A member of the EX2100 series, this IS215ACLEH1B product offering seems to have been customized to meet the various installation demands of General Electric's standard VME Rack Mounting Structure, as its special style of assembly makes use of a metal installation faceplate meant for this structure alone. This IS215ACLEH1B device is actually not the original Application Control Layer Module manufactured for General Electric's EX2100 or EX2100E Series, as that would have to be deemed the IS215ACLEH1 parent Application Control Layer Module not making use of this IS215ACLEH1B product's singular B-rated primary functional revision.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
The IS215ACLEH1B model is part of the EX2100e series as an Application Control Layer Module and will typically be a microprocessor-based controller. The primary use of this board is to perform several different duties over communication networks such as ISBus and Ethernet. When the board has been mounted it will occupy two half-slots in the EX2100 exciter board rack or Innovation Series drive. As a standard General Electric EX2100 or EX2100E Series product, this IS215ACLEH1B device's voltage suppression and limitation strategy involves its special modular assembly's acceptance of a unique series of series-standardized hardware components including but not limited to various styles of EX2100 Series capacitors, resistors, transistors, diodes, and finally specialized integrated circuits or ICs. The ACLE board will also be located within the control cabinet. There are a number of different software features which include but are not limited to the following:
- I/O points and Internal Booleans forcing
- Application control for Innovation Series drives
- Non-volatile flash memory
- Online application configuration loading
- Control block
The IS215ACLEH1B board uses an Ethernet connection that uses IRQ 5 initialized by the BIOS function on the board. The Ethernet connection on the ACLE board is a 10baseT or RJ45 jack which is located on the front panel of the ACL board. As a microprocessor-based control, the board has a peripheral component interconnect (PCI) controller that will manage the different inputs and outputs, configuration transfers to and from the PCI bus as well as manage a variety of memory functions. The IS215ACLEH1B model also has a 128 KB L2 Cache which is used with and controlled by the PCI controller, this cache is set at a 152 NC cache line which will fill the line between the L1 and L2 cache. Another feature of the ACLE board is a flash memory device, this memory device is located on the local bus side of the target interface and is known as Device 1, the device can only be accessed in byte mode. Given the low general availability of this IS215ACLEH1B device's originally-printed instructional manual materials online, the IS215ACLEH1B functional product number can actually serve as a decently-strong source of IS215ACLEH1B Board hardware component and component specification information. The IS215ACLEH1B functional product number indirectly codes for a number of relevant hardware details in a selection of GE-made functional naming chunks, beginning with the initial dual-functional IS215 chunks delegating this IS215ACLEH1B device's domestic manufacture location along with its special modular EX2100 Series assembly. Some of the other relevant hardare details in the IS215ACLEH1B functional product number include this IS215ACLEH1B Board's ACLE functional product acronym, its group one EX2100 Series product grouping, its conformal PCB coating, and finally its B-rated primary functional product revision.
