Functional Description
IS215ACLEH1AC is an Application Control Layer Module developed by GE. It is a part of EX2100 control system. The microprocessor-based master controller designed to handle a range of functions over communication networks such as Ethernet and ISBus. In drive applications, the ACL is housed within a standard Innovation Series drive rack. It occupies two half-slots within the rack and interfaces with the system through a P1 connector. This connector is a 4-row, 128-pin component that plugs directly into the Control Assembly Backplane Board (CABP), ensuring secure and efficient communication and control.
Features
- Exciter Systems: For exciter applications, particularly within the EX2100 exciter system, the ACL is mounted in the Exciter Backplane (EBKP). Similar to its role in drive systems, the ACL in exciter systems manages critical control functions, contributing to the overall performance and reliability of the excitation system.
- Location and Accessibility: Both in drive and exciter applications, the ACL and its respective board rack are installed within the control cabinet. This centralized location within the cabinet allows for easy access and maintenance while also providing a controlled environment for optimal performance and longevity of the module.
- Communication and Control: The capability to manage communication over Ethernet and ISBus networks makes it a powerful tool for various industrial applications. Its microprocessor-based design enables it to perform complex control tasks, ensuring seamless operation of both drive and exciter systems. By integrating with other components through standardized backplanes, the ACL facilitates robust and reliable system control.
Optional Hardware
- Serial Adapter Cable (336A4929G1): This cable facilitates the connection between the ACL and other devices, enabling serial communication.
- Serial Cable (336A3582P1): This cable is used for direct serial communication, providing a robust connection for data transfer and control.
- Core Software Features:
- Control Blockware Language and Library: The ACL software includes a specialized control blockware language and an extensive library of pre-defined blocks. This allows for the creation of customized control strategies tailored to specific application requirements.
- Online Application Configuration Loading: This feature enables the user to load and update application configurations while the system is online, minimizing downtime and ensuring continuous operation.
- I/O Points and Internal Booleans Forcing: The ACL software allows for the forcing of I/O points and internal Boolean values, providing greater control and flexibility in troubleshooting and testing.
- Diagnostics for Broken Run/Start Permissives: The diagnostic tools within the ACL software can detect and report broken run/start permissives, helping to quickly identify and resolve issues that may affect system performance.
- Application Level Alarm Messages: The software can generate detailed alarm messages at the application level, providing critical information to operators and maintenance personnel for prompt response to faults and abnormalities.
- Non-Volatile Flash Memory: The ACL utilizes non-volatile flash memory to store important data and configuration settings, ensuring that information is retained even in the event of a power loss.
- Toolbox Interface and Support Through Ethernet: The ACL software includes a toolbox interface, accessible via Ethernet, for easy configuration, monitoring, and management of the control system.
- Application Control for Innovation Series Drives: Specifically designed to integrate with Innovation Series drives, the ACL provides advanced application control, enhancing the performance and capabilities of the drive system.
PC Compatible Interface
- Numeric Coprocessor and CPU Interface Logic: This function ensures smooth communication and data transfer between the numeric coprocessor and the CPU. It allows the system to efficiently handle complex mathematical calculations and enhance overall processing power.
- Keyboard and Speaker Control Logic: The ISA controller manages the interface logic for both the keyboard and speaker. This control logic ensures that user inputs via the keyboard are correctly interpreted and processed and that audio outputs via the speaker are properly managed.
- Two Programmable Interrupt Controllers: These controllers handle interrupt requests from various peripheral devices, ensuring that the CPU can manage and prioritize these requests efficiently. This functionality is critical for maintaining system responsiveness and performance.
- Real Time Clock (RTC): The RTC provides accurate timekeeping for the system, maintaining the current time and date even when the system is powered off. This is essential for time-sensitive applications and for maintaining accurate logs and records.
- Two DMA Controllers: Direct Memory Access (DMA) controllers facilitate high-speed data transfer between memory and peripheral devices without burdening the CPU. This improves system efficiency and performance by offloading data transfer tasks from the CPU.
- One Programmable Interval Controller: This controller generates precise timing intervals, which can be used for various timing-related tasks within the system, such as generating periodic interrupts or scheduling tasks.
- System Management Interrupt Control Logic: This logic handles system management interrupts (SMIs), which are used for managing low-level system functions such as power management, thermal management, and other critical system functions.
- Advanced Power Management Control Logic: This function enables the system to manage its power consumption more effectively. It includes capabilities for reducing power usage during periods of low activity and managing power states to optimize energy efficiency.
- Power Management Unit Control Logic: The power management unit (PMU) control logic oversees the distribution and regulation of power within the system. It ensures that each component receives the appropriate amount of power for optimal operation and helps protect the system from power-related issues.
