Functional Description

IS215UCVGH1AB is a Single-slot Board developed by GE. It is a part of Mark VI control system. The UCVG, a single-slot board within the system, is equipped with an Intel Ultra Low Voltage Celeron processor running at 650 MHz. This robust processor is complemented by 128 MB of flash memory and 128 MB of SDRAM, ensuring efficient performance and ample storage capacity for the board's operations.

Processor and Memory Specifications

Intel Ultra Low Voltage Celeron processor operating at 650 MHz, optimized for embedded industrial applications. This processor strikes a balance between performance and thermal efficiency, making it well-suited for the continuous, real-time operation required in turbine control systems.

• Flash Memory: 128 MB
• SDRAM: 128 MB

The flash memory is used for storing firmware, boot loaders, configuration files, and application code. The volatile SDRAM is used for execution runtime, temporary storage of process variables, buffer management, and execution of control logic.

Communication and Networking

The UCVG board integrates two Ethernet ports, each conforming to 10BaseT/100BaseTX standards and utilizing RJ-45 connectors. These ports provide deterministic communication paths for both configuration and operational data.

• Primary Ethernet Port: Connects to the User Data Highway (UDH). Used for HMI interaction, configuration via the Toolbox software, and peer-to-peer communication between controllers.
• Secondary Ethernet Port: Typically utilized for redundant communication, plant network access, or reserved for future expansion depending on the system configuration. These Ethernet ports support TCP/IP communication protocols and are essential for high-speed data exchange between the controller, I/O modules, HMIs, and supervisory systems.

Mechanical and Electrical Interface

• Form Factor: Single-slot VME module
• Backplane Connectivity: Connects directly to the VME bus for data and control signal exchange
• Power Requirements: Receives regulated power via the VME chassis backplane; typical consumption depends on system configuration

Primary Ethernet Interface (Ethernet 1)

• Twisted Pair: Utilizes 10BaseT/100BaseTX connectivity via RJ-45 connector.
• Communication Protocols: Supports TCP/IP protocol for seamless communication between the controller and toolbox. Additionally, it facilitates Ethernet Global Data (EGD) protocol for effective communication with CIMPLICITY HMI and Series 90-70 PLCs.
• Ethernet Modbus Protocol: Enables communication between the controller and third-party DCS systems, enhancing interoperability and integration.

Secondary Ethernet Interface (Ethernet 2)

• Twisted Pair: Similar to Ethernet 1, this interface also employs 10BaseT/100BaseTX connectivity with an RJ-45 connector.
• Supported Protocols: Primarily facilitates EGD protocol for efficient communication.
• Ethernet Modbus Protocol: Like the primary interface, it supports Ethernet Modbus protocol for seamless communication with third-party DCS systems, ensuring compatibility and interoperability across different platforms.
