FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION:

IS200UCVEH2A is a UCVE Controller Module manufactured and designed by General Electric as part of the Mark VIeS Series used in GE Distributed Turbine Control Systems. It features a 300 MHz Intel Celeron processor, providing adequate processing power for control and monitoring tasks. The board is equipped with either 16 or 128 MB of flash memory, offering storage for system firmware and software applications. The UCVEH2 is the standard Mark VI controller in the following figure. It is a single-slot board using a 300 MHz Intel Celeron processor with 16 Mb of flash memory and 32 Mb of DRAM. A single 10BaseT/100BaseTX (RJ-45) Ethernet port provides connectivity to the UDH. The UCVEM_ _ modules have all the features of the UCVEH2 with the addition of supporting additional Ethernet ports and Profibus. Some UCVEM_ _ modules support secondary 10BaseT/100BaseTX Ethernet ports for use on a separate IP logical subnet. Configuration of the secondary Ethernet port is performed through the toolbox. The controller validates its toolbox configuration against the existing hardware each time the rack is powered up. A separate subnet address allows the controller to uniquely identify an Ethernet port.

FUNCTIONS:

• Real-Time Control: The UCVE module executes real-time control algorithms to manage various turbine operations, such as regulating turbine speed, controlling fuel flow, adjusting valves, and handling load distribution. It responds quickly to system inputs, ensuring that turbine processes are conducted with precision and efficiency.

• Centralized Processing: Acting as the central processing unit (CPU), the UCVE processes inputs from sensors and field devices, performs complex calculations, and issues commands to control the turbine's functions. It integrates data from multiple sources, allowing for centralized and coordinated control of turbine systems.

• Communication Management: The UCVE provides high-speed communication interfaces such as Ethernet and Serial ports to connect with other controllers, input/output (I/O) modules, human-machine interfaces (HMIs), and external systems. This enables seamless data exchange, real-time monitoring, and control of the turbine's performance.

• System Diagnostics: The UCVE continuously monitors the health of the control system and performs self-diagnostics to detect issues such as hardware malfunctions, communication errors, or performance deviations. It generates alerts and reports to help operators identify and address faults, preventing potential system failures.

• Data Logging and Reporting: The UCVE logs operational data, system performance metrics, and fault histories, which are used for system diagnostics, optimization, and maintenance planning. This data is essential for operators to evaluate system performance and take preventive measures.

• System Integration: The UCVE integrates with other components of the Mark VIe system, including I/O modules and control devices, to form a unified turbine control environment. It supports various protocols and communication standards to ensure compatibility and synchronization across the control architecture.
