SPECIFICATIONS

Part No.: IS215ACLEH1C
Manufacturer: General Electric
Product Type: Application Control Layer Module
Series: EX2100
Country of Manufacture: United States(USA)

IS215ACLEH1C is a Application Control Layer Module developed by GE. A microprocessor-based master controller known as an Application Control Layer Module (ACL) is used to perform multiple functions over communication networks such as EthernetTM and ISBus. The ACL fits into two half-slots in a standard Innovation Seriesô drive or EX2100 exciter board rack. The control cabinet houses the ACL and the board rack.

Features

  • The ACL's P1 connector (4-row 128-pin) plugs into the Control Assembly Backplane Board in drive applications (CABP). The ACL in the EX2100 exciter is mounted in the Exciter Backplane (EBKP).

IS215ACLEH1C Hardware Features

The ACL's integrated circuits provide the following features:

  • Central processing unit (CPU)
  • Peripheral component interconnect (PCI) controller
  • Level 2 cache of 128 Kbytes
  • 8 MB of dynamic random access memory (DRAM)
  • 4 MB of flash memory basic I/O system (BIOS)
  • Internet Protocol (Ethernet)
  • Bus target interface
  • COM1 and COM2 serial ports
  • Ethernet
  • ISBus communication ports

IS215ACLEH1C Software Features

The hardware is identified and initialized by the Basic Input/Output System (BIOS). The BIOS directs all output display information to the COM1 serial port during initialization. During the initial boot sequence, the BIOS also supports serial loading of the operating system (compatible with the current GE loader) via the COM1 port. The GE extended BIOS handles the following tasks:

  • Overwrites the boot interrupt to point to GE's extended BIOS
  • Displays the CMOS settings via the COM1 serial port (accessible via the toolbox and setup utility)
  • Supports an RS-232C download
  • Initializes any GE-specific hardware
  • Resets the ACL_ through RESDRV when needed via an I/O write
  • Enables flash disk support and booting

Control Systems Toolbox

  • The toolbox is used to configure the ACL's runtime actions. It specifies and records all application code configuration information in a binary format known as Pcode. The toolbox saves Pcode to the ACL in either volatile or permanent (Flash) memory.
  • It is also used to monitor and change parameters online, as well as to make minor code changes. Over Ethernet, the toolbox upgrades the most recent product code firmware, such as block libraries, schedulers, and others. The Serial Loader is used to upgrade the ACL operating system (QNX).
  • Instead of changing the EPROM, this firmware is loaded into the ACL's flash memory via a serial cable. The ACL's TCP/IP address is also set with Serial Loader, allowing for additional communication with the toolbox over Ethernet.

Characteristics

  • The module includes a bus target interface that typically serves as a link between the ACL local bus ISA controller and the PCI bus. This interface can connect up to four local bus devices, but only three are used in the drives.
  • This model's functional revision is C, indicating that it is not backward compatible.
  • The primary distinction between this model and the ACLA model is that this mode is an updated version of the ACLA module that includes the same features and functionality. While this model can be used to replace an ACLA model, an ACLA model can never be used to replace an ACLE model.
  • On the ACLEH1C model, there are five LED indicators: Active, ENET, OK, Status, and Flash. When the CPU is accessing memory, the Active LED will illuminate solidly. When a flash write operation is enabled, the Flash LED illuminates solidly and turns off when the operation is completed.
  • The Status LED will show diagnostic data, specifically BIOS steps during the ACL boot sequence. When the watchdog timer is enabled, the OK LED will be solid, and the ENET LED will blink when the Ethernet is transmitting data.
