Functional Description
IS215WEPAH2B is a printed circuit board developed by GE under Mark VIe control system. This model features three communication ports - COM1, COM2, and a micro-miniature 9-pin socket D connector. The Ethernet interfaces supported by the PCB include a 10BaseT/AUI connector. The maximum non-operating shock value for this PCB is 10G, which means it can withstand shocks without sustaining damage. Its three communication ports, micro-miniature 9-pin socket D connector, and Ethernet interface make it an excellent choice for various industrial applications. This model is suitable for simplex or triple redundancy applications. The board is linked to a daughterboard.
Product Attributes
- This model is suitable for simplex or triple redundancy applications. The WEPA board is linked to a daughterboard. There are three different software frame rates supported, ranging from ten to forty milliseconds. The frame rates indicate the time elapsed between conditioning and reading the inputs, as well as sending the outputs and running the application software.
- If you want to change the application software, you can do so using five levels of password protection and download it to the control module while the main process is still running. Female plug connectors are important components of the board.
- These plug connectors are located around the board's edge and range in size from two to twenty pins. A daughterboard can be found in the board's lower right-hand corner. There are also four metal oxide varistors, three of which are close together on the board's lower left side. The singular metal oxide varistor is located in the upper right-hand corner of the board.
- The board is typically mounted in a VME rack with thirteen or twenty-one slots. The Control Module will then house the VME rack. In addition to this model, the control module will include a variety of I/O cards as well as the main processor card. This board will typically occupy only one VME rack slot.
- To help users operate the board, a manual is provided - the GEP-9145 manual. This manual contains all the necessary information and instructions on how to install, configure, and operate the board.
- It is built to endure harsh environmental conditions. It can operate within a relative humidity range of 10-95% without getting damaged by condensation.
- Additionally, its ability to function reliably in harsh environmental conditions makes it a reliable option for mission-critical applications.
Features
- The terminal board, terminal block, and I/O pack are the three basic components of the Mark VIe I/O modules. The terminal board attaches to the cabinet and is available in two basic configurations: S and T.
- The S-type board has a single set of screws for each I/O point and can condition and digitize the signal with a single I/O pack. Using one, two, or three boards, this board is used for simplex, dual, and dedicated triple modular redundant (TMR) inputs. Typically, the T-type TMR board fans the inputs to three separate I/O packs. The outputs from the three I/O packs are usually voted on by the T-type board hardware.
WEPA Bug Fixes
- 22326 - This bug fix addresses an issue where it previously took multiple attempts for the reading of tach speed to work properly in manufacturing test mode. The fix ensures that the reading of tach speed functions correctly on the first try, improving the efficiency and accuracy of the manufacturing test process.
- 27250 - In this bug fix, a delay has been added to the auto mode dropout, ensuring that it is greater than the timeout for HeartbeatOk conditioned MainsOn. This modification ensures that if there is a communication loss due to a power supply failure, the controlled feather action will be triggered appropriately.
- 31665 - This bug fix resolves an issue in the serial loopback operation for manufacturing test mode. It involves clearing all internal buffers before initiating the operation, ensuring that the serial loopback operation functions correctly and provides accurate results during manufacturing tests.
- 31892 - An improvement has been made by adding a corrected RMS motor torque calculation input. This enhancement ensures that the RMS motor torque calculation is accurate and reliable, contributing to more precise control and monitoring of the motor torque.
- 31895 - This bug fix involves a change in the brake and field tracking faults. They are now based on a percentage of their respective resistances, making them sensitive to the Nm (Newton meter) setting of the pitch system. This adjustment enhances the fault detection capabilities, allowing for better monitoring and diagnosis of brake and field tracking issues.
- 31936 - The overall speed reference limit and overspeed settings in managed parameter mode (UseConfigParms = false) have been updated based on the gear ratio. This update ensures that the speed reference limit and overspeed settings are adjusted appropriately, considering the specific gear ratio, resulting in improved speed control and system performance.
- 32049 - This bug fix focuses on enhancing the speed profile and speed tuning. The modifications aim to keep the speed feedback closer to the controlled feather profile, reducing the likelihood of switching over to a battery pitch. This improvement contributes to smoother operation and better synchronization between the speed feedback and controlled feather profile.
- 32078 - The bug fix enables a 45Nm PitchSysType system to work with WEPA boards that support the new 45Nm functionality. This allows for compatibility and seamless integration between the 45Nm PitchSysType system and the corresponding WEPA boards, ensuring optimal performance and functionality.
- 32117 - In this bug fix, standby mode has been modified to increase the brake set delay to 1.2 seconds, specifically accommodating the 45Nm brake. This adjustment ensures that the brake set delay is appropriate for the 45Nm brake, maintaining the required safety and operational standards.
