Functional Description

IS215UCCCM06A is a CPCI controller board developed by GE. It is a part of the Mark VIe control system. It is a comprehensive module assembly that includes the UCCCH controller board, augmented with additional memory, and an expansion module for enhanced functionality. UCCCH is a compact, single-slot CompactPCI (CPCI) controller board designed for high-performance computing tasks.

Features

• It is powered by a 1.6 GHz Intel Pentium M processor, providing a balance of power and efficiency suitable for demanding applications.
• For network connectivity, features two Ethernet ports supporting 10/100/1000BaseTX standards. These ports enable robust and flexible connectivity options, allowing the board to connect to the Unit Data Highway (UDH) and an optional Ethernet network. This ensures reliable communication and data transfer within complex system environments.

Primary Ethernet Interface

• Equipped with two primary Ethernet interfaces that utilize twisted pair 10BaseT/100BaseTX connections with RJ-45 connectors. These interfaces are designed to support a variety of communication protocols, ensuring seamless integration and robust networking capabilities.
• The TCP/IP protocol is used to facilitate communication between the controller and the toolbox software. This allows for efficient configuration, monitoring, and management of the controller settings and operations.
• The TCP/IP protocol is also employed for transmitting alarm signals and notifications to Human-Machine Interfaces (HMIs). This ensures that operators are promptly informed of any critical events or system anomalies, enabling swift response and troubleshooting.
• The Ethernet Global Data (EGD) protocol is used for exchanging application variables between the controller and CIMPLICITY HMI systems, as well as Series 90-70 PLCs. This protocol facilitates real-time data sharing and synchronization, enhancing the performance and coordination of interconnected devices and systems.
• The Ethernet Modbus protocol is supported for communication between the controller and third-party Distributed Control Systems (DCS). This widely-used protocol enables interoperability with system, allowing for flexible and scalable integration within diverse automation environments.
