IS215UCVGM06A GE Mark VI, UCV Controller Card

Description:

The IS215UCVGM06A is a printed circuit board (PCB) component designed for use in the Mark VI Turbine Control System Series. The MKVI represents an advanced gas/steam turbine management platform developed by General Electric, continuing the legacy of their Speedtronic line initiated in the 1960s and produced until the end of the century. The IS215UCVGM06A, part of the broader Mark VI Series, is notable not only for its potential applications in alternative energy but also as one of the final GE Mark products to incorporate the patented Speedtronic control system technology first introduced with the original Mark I Series in the mid-to-late 1960s.

Hardware Tips and Specifications

The IS215UCVGM06A serves as a UCV controller. There are various versions of the UCV controller; the IS215UCVGM06A is a single-slot single board computer that executes the turbine application code. This PCB fits into the control module and communicates with the I/O boards via the VME bus. It operates on a QNX operating system, which is a real-time, multitasking OS.

The front faceplate of the IS215UCVGM06A includes several connectors such as those for a monitor, keyboard/mouse, Ethernet/LAN ports, and USB ports. Additionally, the front panel features a PMC expansion slot, a reset switch, four LED components mounted directly on the panel, and LEDs connected to the Ethernet ports. The surface of the IS215UCVGM06A hosts multiple switch components, including one that enables the board's type 1 Lithium battery. This battery should be replaced only with an equivalent type. 

It is important to note that the IS215UCVGM06A is not the originally produced device for its specific Mark VI Series functionality; that would be the IS215UCVGM06 parent UCV Controller, which does not utilize this product's sole A-rated functional product revision.

Other components include a backplane connector and connectors for auxiliary boards, inductor coils, resistors, diodes, capacitors, and various integrated circuits. The IS215UCVGM06A uses an Intel Ultra Low Voltage Celeron processor (650 MHz). Links on this page can help you save money beyond AX Control’s competitive prices.
