Description
The GE IS215UCCCM04A is a high-performance compact PCI controller board designed as part of GE’s Mark VIe Speedtronic gas turbine control system. Known as the CPCI 3U Compact PCI controller, it serves as a central processing unit (CPU) module that orchestrates turbine control, monitoring, and communication functions. This controller board is equipped with six Ethernet ports, each clearly labeled for specific uses, and includes additional communication interfaces such as dual RS-485 ports supporting Modbus RTU/ASCII protocols. Its versatile connectivity options enable seamless integration with plant-wide network systems and auxiliary LANs, enhancing comprehensive turbine control and monitoring.
The IS215UCCCM04A assembly combines the IS215UCCC H4 controller with 128 MB of flash memory, 256 MB of DRAM, and the IS200 EPMC daughter board, ensuring ample memory and processing power for complex turbine control algorithms. It features multiple interference suppressors to reduce external electrical noise, enhancing data integrity and system stability. The board is designed with cooling components to dissipate heat effectively, supporting reliable operation under industrial conditions. It operates on +5 V DC (typical 4.5 A, max 6.75 A), +3.3 V DC, and +12 V DC power supplies, typical of embedded control systems.
