Features
- Processor Specification: Equipped with a 300 MHz Intel Celeron processor, ensures reliable and efficient execution of control algorithms and processing tasks. The processor's robust performance capabilities enable the board to handle complex control operations with ease.
- Memory Configuration: Two memory configurations to accommodate varying system requirements. It offers either 16 MB or 128 MB of flash memory, providing ample storage capacity for firmware and configuration data. Additionally, the board features 32 MB of dynamic random-access memory (DRAM), facilitating rapid data access and manipulation during runtime operations.
- Flash Memory: Flash memory serves as a non-volatile storage solution, preserving critical firmware and configuration data even in the absence of power. With either 16 MB or 128 MB of flash memory, ensures reliable boot-up and initialization processes, enhancing system reliability and availability.
- DRAM: The 32 MB of DRAM onboard serves as the primary memory resource for executing control algorithms and storing temporary data during runtime operations. This high-speed memory enables efficient data processing and multitasking, ensuring smooth system performance under varying workload conditions.
- Application in Mark VI Control System: As a part of the Mark VI control system, contributes to the system's overall functionality and reliability. It serves as a cornerstone of control and processing capabilities, enabling seamless integration and operation within industrial environments.
- Interface Description: The Secondary Ethernet Interface utilizes a twisted pair 10BaseT/100BaseTX connection with an RJ-45 connector. This versatile configuration supports both 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps Ethernet standards, allowing for flexible and high-speed communication capabilities.
Protocols
- EGD Protocol: The Secondary Ethernet Interface supports the Ethernet Global Data (EGD) protocol, facilitating high-speed data transfer over Ethernet networks. This protocol ensures efficient exchange of real-time data between devices, enabling seamless integration with industrial automation systems.
- Ethernet Modbus Protocol: Additionally, the interface supports the Ethernet Modbus protocol for communication between the controller and third-party Distributed Control Systems (DCS). This standardized protocol enables interoperability with a wide range of industrial control systems, enhancing system flexibility and compatibility.
Power Requirements
- +5 V dc: The Secondary Ethernet Interface requires a typical current of 6.2 A, with a maximum of 8.2 A, when powered by a +5 V dc source. This ensures sufficient power supply for uninterrupted operation.
- +12 V dc: It typically consumes 180 mA of current, with a maximum of 250 mA, when powered by a +12 V dc source.
- -12 V dc: Similarly, it typically draws 180 mA of current, with a maximum of 250 mA, when powered by a -12 V dc source.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is IS215UCVEM0BB?
It is a Controller Board developed by GE under the Mark VI series.
How are the secondary Ethernet ports configured?
The configuration of the secondary Ethernet ports is performed through the toolbox interface. Users can specify network settings and parameters to tailor the port's functionality according to specific requirements and network configurations.
How does the controller ensure proper configuration validation?
The controller validates its toolbox configuration against the existing hardware each time the rack is powered up. This validation process ensures consistency and accuracy between the configured settings and the physical hardware components, minimizing the risk of configuration errors or discrepancies.
What is the significance of a separate subnet address for Ethernet ports?
Assigning a separate subnet address to each Ethernet port allows the controller to uniquely identify and differentiate between individual ports within the network. This addressing scheme ensures proper routing and communication management, enabling efficient data exchange and network operation.
