About the IS215UCVCH5

The IS215UCVCH5 is a GE Mark VI UCV controller.  This component was manufactured by GE to be a part of the Mark VI system, which was released as part of the Speedtronic line of gas/steam turbine management.    The MKVI can be used as either a Simplex or a TMR (triple modular redundant) system, depending on the size, complexity, and needs of the related turbine system.

The IS215UCVCH5 is a controller board with a wide double front faceplate with many components mounted into it.  The board takes up four VME slots. Components in the faceplate include three sets of LEDs (twenty-two in all,) a DLAN+ interface, two Genius Interfaces, two ISBus interfaces, as well as two COM interfaces.   Some of the LEDs on the front panel are labeled Status, flsh, active, ok, enet, and active (2nd.) The OS for this component is QNX, which is a multitasking operating system similar to UNIX. The processor is a 486 100 MHz processor.  Memory on this controller is 8 MB DRAM with 128 KB of level 2 cache.

The Ethernet interface of the IS215UCVCH5 is a 10BaseT connector using TCP/IP protocol to communicate with the toolbox and SRTP (serial request transfer protocol) to interface between the controller and the HMI (human-machine interface.)   The COM1 port located on the faceplate is used for diagnostics only and the COM2 port is used for Modbus communication between the controller and DCS. The component also has a micro-miniature 9-pin socket D connector.
