FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION:

IS215UCVGM09C is a VME CPU Card manufactured and designed by General Electric as part of the Mark VI Series used in GE Speedtronic Innovation Series Control Systems. The UCVG (Universal Control and Visualization Gateway) is a compact, high-performance, single-slot controller board designed for industrial automation and control systems. It is powered by an Intel Ultra Low Voltage Celeron processor running at 650 MHz, offering an efficient balance between processing power and energy consumption. The board comes equipped with 128 MB of SDRAM for runtime memory and 128 MB of flash memory for firmware and application storage, ensuring reliable operation in embedded environments. For communication and network connectivity, the UCVG features two 10BaseT/100BaseTX Ethernet ports, each utilizing an RJ-45 connector. These Ethernet ports are designed to support high-speed data communication for control, monitoring, and diagnostics.

• Primary Ethernet Port: The first port provides a direct connection to the UDH (Universal Data Highway), enabling seamless peer-to-peer communication and system configuration. This interface plays a critical role in controller programming, diagnostics, and inter-device communication within a unified control system architecture.

• Secondary Ethernet Port: The second Ethernet port is intended for use on a separate IP logical subnet, enabling flexibility in network segmentation. This port is commonly used for Modbus TCP/IP communication or private Ethernet Global Data (EGD) networks, facilitating data sharing between controllers or with SCADA and HMI systems. It supports secure and efficient transmission of process variables and control data.

Configuration of the UCVG, including network settings and operational parameters, is managed through the Toolbox software suite. Upon system startup, the controller performs a hardware validation check, ensuring that the existing configuration aligns with the physical hardware present. This validation process helps maintain system integrity and prevent configuration mismatches that could impact performance or functionality.

INSTALLATION:

The card is designed for insertion into a VME rack within the GE Mark VI control system. Carefully align the card with the designated VME slot and slide it in until it is fully seated in the backplane connector. Once inserted, secure the module using the rack�s mounting screws to prevent vibration or movement during operation. All necessary connections�such as Ethernet cables and serial communication lines�should then be attached to their respective ports. It is essential to follow standard electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions during handling and installation.

The onboard Intel Ultra Low Voltage Celeron 650 MHz processor begins executing the configured control logic. The card supports two independent Ethernet ports, with the primary port connecting to the Universal Data Highway (UDH) for configuration, diagnostics, and controller communication, and the secondary port used for Modbus TCP/IP or Ethernet Global Data (EGD) on a separate IP subnet.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

How many Ethernet ports does the module support?

The card provides two Ethernet ports (10BaseT/100BaseTX), each with an RJ-45 connector. The first port is typically connected to the Universal Data Highway (UDH), while the second can be used for a separate IP subnet, supporting Modbus TCP/IP or Ethernet Global Data (EGD) protocols.

What are the power requirements of this CPU card?

The card typically requires +5 V DC at 4 A, with a maximum draw of 5.4 A. Power should be supplied through a compliant VME backplane in a GE Mark VI rack.

What type of connectors are used for serial communication?

The card includes two micro-miniature 9-pin D-sub connectors, which are typically used for serial communication (RS-232/RS-485) with other control devices, terminals, or diagnostic tools.
