IS215UCCM04R

IS215UCCM04R is a Compact PCI Processor Module manufactured and designed by General Electric as part of the VIe Series used in GE Distributed Control Systems. A CompactPCI Processor Module is a type of computing board designed to fit into a CompactPCI chassis. CompactPCI is a rugged, industrial-grade version of the Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) standard used in telecommunications, industrial automation, military, aerospace, and other embedded computing applications. The Processor Module typically contains a CPU (Central Processing Unit), memory, and other necessary components for computing tasks. It serves as the brain of the system, handling data processing and executing software instructions. These modules come in various configurations, supporting different CPU architectures (such as x86, ARM, or PowerPC) and performance levels to meet the specific requirements of the application. They often offer features like multiple cores, high-speed interfaces (such as PCIe or Ethernet), and optional integrated graphics or accelerators.

OPERATION:

The controller comes preloaded with software tailored to its specific application, including functionalities for steam, gas, land-marine aero-derivative (LM), and balance-of-plant (BOP) products. It supports both rungs and blocks for programming tasks. Utilizing the IEEE® 1588 protocol, the R, S, and T IONets ensure clock synchronization among the I/O packs and controllers with a precision of within ±100 microseconds. Data exchange between external sources and the controller's database occurs over the R, S, and T IONets. In simplex systems, this encompasses the transfer of process inputs/outputs to the I/O packs.

INSTALLATION:

The controller module comprises a controller and a four-slot CompactPCI rack, equipped with either one or two power supplies, at a minimum. The primary controller must be inserted into the leftmost slot (slot 1). Within a single rack, a second, third, and fourth controller can also be accommodated. To preserve the CMOS battery's lifespan during storage, it is disconnected using a processor board jumper. When installing the board, it's crucial to reinstall the battery jumper. The battery provides power to the CMOS RAM settings and the internal date and real-time clock. CMOS settings do not require adjustment since they are automatically set to the appropriate values via the BIOS. Please refer to the specific UCCx module drawing for the jumper's location.
