1. Product Overview
IS215UCVEH2AB (UCVE) is the core real-time main controller single board computer for GE Mark VI legacy VME turbine control systems, widely deployed in combined-cycle, thermal power plant gas/steam turbine simplex and triple redundant TMR control cabinets as the central computing core for all turbine protection, regulation and sequence logic.
Equipped with Intel Celeron 300MHz industrial high-speed processor and QNX hard real-time multitasking OS, it can execute up to 100,000 control logic blocks per second, completing high-precision closed-loop calculations for turbine speed, fuel control, exhaust temperature, generator excitation and load balance. 32MB DRAM operation memory and 16MB flash storage store control programs, real-time measurement data, fault waveform records and SOE event logs without relying on external hard disks.
Two independent front-panel Ethernet ports provide redundant TCP/IP communication links for uploading real-time data to plant SCADA and DCS systems, supporting Modbus TCP and GE proprietary control protocols. The RS232 serial port is reserved for local on-site program download, parameter calibration and fault debugging.
The board communicates with all DS200 series analog input/output, discrete I/O and protection boards via standard VME parallel backplane bus, real-time collecting field sensor signals and outputting control drive commands to actuators and auxiliary relays. Built-in hardware watchdog circuit automatically resets the CPU when program runaway or hardware failure occurs to avoid turbine uncontrolled operation.
Full IPC-CC-830 anti-corrosion conformal coating protects PCB from humidity, dust and corrosive flue gas inside power plant control rooms. It cannot operate independently and must be inserted into a standard 6U VME backplane rack paired with matched power supply and I/O signal boards.
This UCVE CPU board is an irreplaceable core spare part for legacy Mark VI turbine control cabinets, used for unit overhaul, main controller fault replacement and routine system performance maintenance.
