IS215UCVEH2AE GE MKVI, VME CPU Card-colletplc

Description:

IS215UCVEH2A is a VME Controller Card manufactured and designed by General Electric as part of the Mark VI Series used in GE Speedtronic Control Systems. The UCVEH2 is the standard Mark VI controller. It is a single-slot board using a 300 MHz Intel Celeron processor with 16 or 128 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. The secondary Ethernet port is configured 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.

COMPONENTS OF A VME CONTROLLER CARD:

Processor: The processor is the heart of the VME Controller Card, responsible for executing instructions and managing tasks. Modern VME cards often feature high-performance processors that can handle complex computations.

Memory: Memory on a VME Controller Card stores data temporarily for quick access by the processor. This includes both volatile memory (RAM) and non-volatile memory (ROM or flash storage).

Interface Ports: Interface ports allow the VME Controller Card to connect with other devices and modules. Common interfaces include Ethernet, USB, and serial ports, facilitating versatile connectivity options.

How VME Controller Cards Work:

Communication Protocols: VME Controller Cards use specific communication protocols to interact with other modules. These protocols ensure data integrity and efficient communication across the VMEbus.

Data Transfer Mechanisms: Data transfer within VME systems is typically managed through direct memory access (DMA), which allows high-speed data exchange without burdening the CPU.
