About the IS215UCVDH2AA
The IS215UCVDH2AA is a PCB component manufactured by GE for the Mark VI system. The Mark VI is a platform for the management of gas or steam turbine systems released as part of the Speedtronic line. The Mark VI includes an operator interface/HMI (human/machine interface) built on a PC workstation with a Windows OS.
The IS215UCVDH2AA functions as a controller that runs turbine application code. This mounts in the control module and communicates via the VME bus to the turbine input/output board. The IS215UCVDH2AA is one of the older of the five versions of this controller. It is a double-slot board that is more often used in older systems. The two boards are connected by screws threaded through standoffs. One board is populated with a backplane connector.
The IS215UCVDH2AA has a wide front faceplate that includes many components and connectors. Included in this list are a receptacle for a Genius cable plug, two ports for keyboard/mouse connections, two ISBus LAN ports, two COM ports, a hard disk connector, a monitor port, a UDH Ethernet port, a reset switch, and two sets of LED indicators. One of these indicators are primarily controller and communication status LEDs and the other is used for runtime error codes that result from download problems, startup, or configuration issues.
The IS215UCVDH2AA includes a AMD-K6 processor chip running at 300 MHz. It has 16 MB of DRAM, 8 MB of Flash memory, and 256 KB of level 2 cache. The board uses a QNX operating system, which is a microkernal-based operating system.
