GE DS215UCIBG3AZZ01A Circuit Board with Firmware

The DS215UCIBG3AZZ01A functions as the central interface and backplane for the main processing elements of the control core. Its critical roles include:

  • Host for Daughter Cards: It provides the physical and electrical connections for several specialized daughter cards to plug into it, most notably the Host CPU Auxiliary and Flash Disk boards.2
  • Network Interface Support: It includes connectors to interface with two $\mu$GENI (micro-Genius) boards. These boards are crucial for handling the high-speed input/output (I/O) communication network between the main processors and the field devices.
  • Signal Translation: The board is equipped with integrated circuitry, including 196 microprocessors, which are used for tasks like translating signals, such as those related to DLE (Dry Low 3$\text{NO}_\text{x}$ Emission) gas fuel pressures.4
  • System Foundation: It serves as the backbone for the entire Unit Controller assembly, enabling power distribution and signal integrity for the other critical cards that form the 5$\text{R}$ core (Control Engine core) in a Triple Modular Redundant (TMR) or simplex Mark V system.6

🔥 GE DS215UCIBG3AZZ01A Circuit Board with Firmware Overview

The GE DS215UCIBG3AZZ01A is the Unit Controller Interface Board (UCIB), often referenced as a Core Motherboard or WIN System Card, used primarily in the General Electric Mark V Speedtronic Turbine Control System and associated control platforms like the EX2000 Excitation Control System.1

The designation “Circuit Board with Firmware” indicates that this is a microprocessor-based board containing EPROM/PROM modules that hold its dedicated operating program.

💡 Key Functionality

The DS215UCIBG3AZZ01A functions as the central interface and backplane for the main processing elements of the control core. Its critical roles include:

  • Host for Daughter Cards: It provides the physical and electrical connections for several specialized daughter cards to plug into it, most notably the Host CPU Auxiliary and Flash Disk boards.2
  • Network Interface Support: It includes connectors to interface with two $\mu$GENI (micro-Genius) boards. These boards are crucial for handling the high-speed input/output (I/O) communication network between the main processors and the field devices.
  • Signal Translation: The board is equipped with integrated circuitry, including 196 microprocessors, which are used for tasks like translating signals, such as those related to DLE (Dry Low 3$\text{NO}_\text{x}$ Emission) gas fuel pressures.4
  • System Foundation: It serves as the backbone for the entire Unit Controller assembly, enabling power distribution and signal integrity for the other critical cards that form the 5$\text{R}$ core (Control Engine core) in a Triple Modular Redundant (TMR) or simplex Mark V system.6

⚙️ Technical Features

  • System Series: GE Speedtronic Mark V Control System.7
  • Flexibility: It can be configured for use in both a Simplex (single controller) setup or a Triple Modular Redundant (TMR) setup, which uses three identical controllers (8$\text{R, S, T}$) for high reliability.9
  • Configuration: The board includes a single jumper switch to enable or disable a clock feature, along with multiple male and female cable connectors for external interfaces.10

When servicing this board, it is vital to ensure that the correct firmware (A-rated functional product revision) and any attached daughter cards are properly transferred and configured.11
