Interface and Connectivity Design

• Six Ethernet ports dominate the faceplate layout. Each port clearly labels its specific control function.
• LED arrays provide immediate operational status. Technicians verify board health at a single glance.
• Reset button resides at faceplate bottom edge. Allows quick system restarts without card extraction.
• Rear male terminal secures board to backplane. Two large clasps on each end add mechanical retention.
• CPCI 3U form factor ensures VME compatibility. Fits standard Mark VIe rack systems without modification.

Memory and Processing Architecture

• 128 MB flash memory stores firmware and configuration. Retains data through power cycles without battery backup.
• 256 MB DRAM provides runtime execution space. Handles complex turbine control algorithms efficiently.
• IS200 EPMC daughter card expands I/O capabilities. Enables additional communication protocol support.
• 128 MB SD card slides into dedicated onboard case. Offers removable data logging and program storage.
• Multiple integrated circuits function as board brains. Microchips store control logic and system conditions.

Thermal and EMI Management

• Large black slotted component dissipates heat effectively. Passive cooling design eliminates moving parts.
• Multiple interference suppressors block external EMI. Protects against radios, cell phones, and industrial noise.
• Capacitor bank stores energy for peak demand events. Unused energy routes to resistors for safe discharge.
• M04 PCB coating resists moisture and contamination. Extends service life in harsh turbine environments.

Mark VIe Application Versatility

• Supports gas, steam, and wind turbine control systems. Significant upgrade from Mark V gas/steam-only limitations.
• Functional acronym UCCC identifies Compact PCI controller. Standardized across Mark VIe Speedtronic platforms.
• Group 4 Mark VI series product grouping. Ensures compatibility with adjacent rack modules.
• Original GE manufacture with domestic USA origin. IS215 series tag confirms Mark VI assembly pedigree.
• Single A-rated revision indicates mature production. Field-proven reliability across thousands of installations.

Cost-Effective Alternative

• IS215UCCCM04A reached last-time buy status in 2011. GE replaced it with IS420UCSBH3A at significantly higher cost.
• Our surplus and reconditioned stock offers savings. Identical form, fit, and function to original new units.
• No firmware modifications required for replacement. Direct swap for existing UCCC modules in service.
• Original GE manufacturing ensures quality compliance. Not third-party clones or unauthorized reproductions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the difference between IS215UCCCM04A and IS215UCCCM04?
A: M04A indicates the functional revision 1A with M04 coating. IS215UCCCM04A includes the EPMC daughter card as standard.

Q: Can this board replace IS215UCCCM03A in existing racks?
A: Yes. IS215UCCCM04A shares identical form factor and backplane pinout. No rack modification required.

Q: What does the SD card store on this controller?
A: The 128 MB SD card holds turbine configuration files and event logs. It slides into a dedicated protective case on board.

Q: Is the 1,600 MHz processor upgradeable?
A: No. Processor speed is fixed on IS215UCCCM04A. For higher performance, use IS420UCSBH3A with different backplane requirements.

Q: What causes the reset button to be necessary?
A: Reset button initiates hardware reboot without power cycling the rack. Useful for configuration changes or fault recovery.
