The GE IS215UCCAM06A is a cPCI (Compact Peripheral Component Interconnect) 650MHz Controller Card for the Mark VIe series of GE’s Speedtronic Gas Turbine Control Systems. It is a critical component that serves as the central processing unit (CPU) for the entire control system.
Key Features and Functionality
The IS215UCCAM06A is the “brain” of the Mark VIe system. Its main functions include:
- Control and Processing: The controller executes all the primary control algorithms for the turbine, including fuel scheduling, speed control, load regulation, and synchronization.
- cPCI Architecture: The controller is based on the cPCI (CompactPCI) bus architecture. cPCI is a rugged, high-performance industrial bus that provides reliable communication between the controller and the various I/O packs and modules.
- Processing Speed: The “650MHz” in the description refers to the clock speed of the processor on the card. This indicates a specific hardware revision with enhanced processing capability compared to earlier versions (such as the IS215UCCAM03A).
- Communication: The controller handles all communication within the system and with external systems, such as a plant’s Distributed Control System (DCS) or SCADA system.
- Redundancy: In a redundant Mark VIe system (such as TMR – Triple Modular Redundancy), multiple UCCAM controllers work in parallel with voting logic to provide exceptional fault tolerance and reliability.
