FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION:

IS400BPPCH2A is a Processor Board manufactured and designed by General Electric as part of the Mark VIe Series used in GE Distributed Control Systems. The UCPA uses the IS400BPPCH2A processor version, which passes all connections through the internal STWC I/O board. It runs at a nominal 12 V dc (9 to 16) and accepts a serial interface. The BPPC processor board provides the following features:

• High-speed processor with RAM and flash memory
• Two fully independent 10/100 Ethernet ports with connectors
• Hardware watchdog timer and reset circuit
• Internal temperature sensor
• Status-indication LEDs
• Electronic ID and the ability to read IDs on other boards
• Local CPU power supplies

At startup, the processor reads board ID information to ensure the correct matching of UCPA internal circuit boards. With a good match, the processor attempts to establish Ethernet communications, starting with the request of a network address. The address request uses the industry standard dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP). After Ethernet initialization, the processor programs the onboard logic, runs the application and enables the acquisition board to begin operation. The processor application code contains all the logic necessary to allow the UCPA controller and I/O module to operate with or without IONet to external I/O packs. The Ethernet ports on the processor auto-negotiate between 10 and 100 Mbps speed, and between half-duplex and full-duplex operation. The internal UCPA processor (BPPC) provides the following diagnostics as status LEDs. Refer to the figure, UCPA Ports and LEDs. There are two LEDs (Yellow/Green) for each Ethernet connector (ENET1 and ENET2), which are embedded in the RJ-45 connectors. The green LED indicates an Ethernet connection has been established. The yellow LED indicates packet traffic.
