FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION:

IS215UCVGH1A is a VME Controller Single Slot Board manufactured and designed by General Electric as part of the Mark VI Series used in GE Speedtronic Control Systems. The UCVG is a single-slot board using an Intel Ultra Low Voltage Celeron 650 MHz processor with 128 MB of flash memory and 128 MB of SDRAM. Two 10BaseT/100BaseTX (RJ-45 connector) Ethernet ports provide connectivity. The first Ethernet on the UCVG allows connectivity to the UDH for configuration and peer-to-peer communication. The second Ethernet on the UCVG is for use on a separate IP logical subnet and can be used for Modbus or private EGD network. Configuration of the second Ethernet port is performed through the toolbox. The controller validates its toolbox configuration against the existing hardware each time the rack is powered up.

The Innovation Series controller is hosted by a family of 6U high, single or double slot, Single Board Computers (SBC). The controller mounts on a Versa Modular Euro (VME) rack, and communicates with I/O boards through the VME bus. Some of the board types also support local I/O in the form of PCI Mezzanine Card (PMC) daughterboards. The controller Operating System (OS) is QNX, a real time, multitasking OS designed for high-speed, high reliability industrial applications. The controller is loaded with software specific to its application using the Control System Toolbox (toolbox). Three communication ports provide links to operator and engineering interfaces as follows:

• Ethernet connections for communication with Human-Machine Interface (HMI) and other control equipment
• RS-232C connection for initial setup using the COM1 port
• RS-232C connection for communication with distributed control systems (DCS) using the COM2 port (such as Modbus slave)

OPERATION:

The controller is loaded with software specific to its application to steam, gas, and land-marine aeroderivative (LM), or balance of plant (BOP) products. It can execute up to 100,000 rungs or blocks per second, assuming a typical collection of average size blocks. An external clock interrupt permits the controller to synchronize to the clock on the VCMI communication board to within ± 100 microseconds. External data is transferred to and from the control system database (CSDB) in the controller over the VME bus by the VCMI communication board. In a simplex system, the data consists of the process inputs and outputs from the I/O boards. In a TMR system, the data consists of the voted inputs from the input boards, singular inputs from simplex boards, computed outputs to be voted by the output hardware, and the internal state values that must be exchanged between the controllers.
