Functional Description
IS215UCVDH2AN is a double-slot board developed by GE. It is a part of Mark VI control system. The UCVD board harnesses the processing power of a 300 MHz AMD K6 processor, renowned for its robust performance and reliability in industrial applications. The inclusion of this processor empowers the UCVD board to execute complex control algorithms and visualization tasks with efficiency and precision.
Features
- At the core of the board is a 300 MHz AMD K6 processor. This embedded processor is known for its reliability and proven performance in real-time industrial control applications. The processing power provided by the AMD K6 enables the UCVD board to handle complex control logic, real-time data acquisition, and visualization tasks with consistent accuracy and speed. Its architecture supports deterministic control loop execution, which is essential for time-sensitive automation processes.
- The board features 8 MB of onboard flash memory. This non-volatile memory stores essential system firmware, configuration parameters, and boot files. Because flash memory retains its contents even when power is lost, it enables fast system initialization and ensures that critical software and settings remain intact during power interruptions or system failures. This contributes to both system reliability and reduced downtime during maintenance or restarts.
- To support dynamic operations, it is equipped with 16 MB of DRAM. This volatile memory serves as the main workspace for the processor, enabling temporary data storage, real-time computations, and buffering operations. DRAM is used extensively during the execution of control algorithms, processing of I/O data, and management of operator interface updates. The available memory allows the system to perform multiple concurrent tasks with reduced latency, ensuring efficient performance under typical and high-load conditions.
- The combined memory configuration flash for persistent storage and DRAM for runtime execution—ensures the IS215UCVDH2AN operates smoothly in demanding industrial environments. The memory and processing resources together allow the board to support real-time control, data logging, and communication with other system components, making it suitable for complex automation and turbine control applications.
Ethernet interface
- Twisted Pair 10BaseT, RJ-45 Connector: The Ethernet interface utilizes a twisted pair 10BaseT connection with an RJ-45 connector. This standard configuration ensures compatibility with a wide range of networking equipment and simplifies installation and integration processes.
- TCP/IP Protocol: TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) serves as the foundation for communication between the controller and toolbox. This widely adopted protocol suite ensures reliable and efficient data transmission, facilitating robust communication across the network infrastructure.
- Serial Request Transfer Protocol (SRTP) Interface: The SRTP interface provides a streamlined communication channel between the controller and Human-Machine Interface (HMI). This protocol enables efficient exchange of data and commands, facilitating real-time monitoring and control of system parameters through the graphical user interface provided by the HMI.
- EGD Protocol: The Ethernet Global Data (EGD) protocol is employed for communication with CIMPLICITY HMI and Series 90-70 PLCs. EGD facilitates high-speed data transfer over Ethernet networks, enabling seamless integration of the controller with these industrial automation systems. This protocol ensures timely delivery of critical data, enhancing system responsiveness and efficiency.
- Ethernet Modbus Protocol: Additionally, the Ethernet Modbus protocol is supported for communication between the controller and third-party Distributed Control Systems (DCS). Modbus over Ethernet provides a standardized and interoperable communication solution, allowing the controller to exchange data with external DCS platforms seamlessly. This protocol facilitates integration with diverse industrial control systems, enhancing interoperability and scalability.
