About the IS215UCVBG1A

The IS215UCVBG1A functions as an Ethernet Mouse controller board within the Mark VI system from GE.  The Mark VI is a gas/steam turbine management platform released by GE as part of the Speedtronic line.

The IS215UCVBG1A works within Innovation Series drive control racks.  The controller has a front faceplate with several components mounted in it, including a Genius bus interface, a DLAN+ interface, two COM ports, a 9-pin D connector, and an Ethernet connector.  One of these COM ports is used for diagnostics, while the other is used for DCS and serial protocols. There is also a reset switch and eight status LEDs that are labeled Active, Slot 1, BMAS, ENET, BSLV, Status, FLSH, and GEN.   The ethernet interface in this drive uses TCP/IP protocols for communication to and from the toolbox.

The IS215UCVBG1A has a single Genius Bus interface (mentioned above) integrated with the CPU. If more than this one Genius bus is needed, up to five third-party VME modules can be added through the rack system.  This allows the addition of up to ten Genius bus interfaces.

The IS215UCVBG1A has power requirements of +5 V dc 5.64 A, +12 V dc  900 mA, -12 V dc 200 mA. The controller runs on a Pentium 133 MHz processor.  The operating system used in this controller is QNX, which is a Unix-like real-time operating system.  The controller uses Boolean logic represented in relay ladder diagram format. More information about the features and operation of the IS215UCVBG1A may be found through user guides and manuals published by General Electric.
