About the IS220UCSAH1A
The IS220UCSAH1A is a Processor/Controller created by General Electric for the Mark VI system. Designed to manage gas or steam turbines, the Mark VI platform was released by GE as part of the Speedtronic line. While previous General Electric Mark-type product series iterations including the initial Mark I Series are limited to gas and steam turbine applications alone, certain Mark VI Series products including this IS220UCSAH1A modular assembly have possible applications that have been extended to the control and management systems of wind turbines compatible with General Electric products as well. This IS220UCSAH1A device is actually not the originally-designed product of its specific Mark VI Series functional role; as that would have t be deemed the IS220UCSAH1 PAMC Acoustic Monitor Processor Module not making use of this IS220UCSAH1A device's signature A-rated primary functional product revision.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
As with any Mark Series product belonging to our extended new and reconditioned inventory here, this IS220UCSAH1A device's intended Mark Series functionality is introduced through its special assembly's acceptance of a unique series of hardware components and specifications. The IS220UCSAH1A is built as a single boxed component with a front faceplate to allow for connection of communications, two screw mounts on the rear edge, and grill openings on three sides to allow for air flow. The controller is designed for base-mounting within a cabinet. Up to three components can be mounted adjacent to each other for a compact arrangement that easily serves triple redundant systems. It features an HMI (human machine interface) with software designed for running heavy-duty turbines, such as the CIMPLICITY graphics interface. The IS220UCSAH1A works on a QNX operating system, and has a Freescale 8349, 667 MHz processor. The board uses a power source rated at 18-36 V dc, 12 watts. The board can be used in temperatures from 0 to 65 degrees Celsius and does not require a fan for cooling, even at max temperature rating. The board can be used for NFPA Class 1, Div. 2 applications.
The front faceplate of the IS220UCSAH1A has six female jack connectors, one USB port, and multiple LED indicators. This includes LED indicators down the left side of the front panel labeled Link/Act, and a line of indicators placed in the middle of the faceplate that are labeled Power, Boot, Online, Flash, DC, and Diag. Jack connectors are used for Ethernet connections, which allow the board to communicate with other MKVI, MKVIe, or EX2100 excitation controls, along with maintenance stations and operator stations. While not a whole lot of this IS220UCSAH1A Mark Series device's original instructional manual materials are available online for research purposes, it does benefit from its General Electric original manufacture as it possesses the IS220UCSAH1A functional product number detailing a number of relevant hardware specifications through a General Electric-formulated series of functional naming segments. For starters, the IS220UCSAH1A product number is started through the dual-functional IS220 series tag indirectly delegating this IS220UCSAH1A PCB's special modular Mark VI Series assembly as well as its domestic location of original manufacture. Some of the other relevant hardware details included in the IS220UCSAH1A functional product number include this IS220UCSAH1A modular assembly's:
- UCSA functional product acronym
- Conformal PCB coating style
- Group one Mark VI Series product grouping
- A-rated primary functional product revision
