Product Description
The GE IS420UCSBH4A is a UCSB Controller Module manufactured by General Electric, forming a critical component of the Mark VIe control system, specifically designed for gas turbine control applications. The module operates with a 600 MHz Intel EP80579 microprocessor and 256 MB DDR2 SDRAM memory, with the real-time QNX Neutrino operating system ensuring reliable, high-speed performance for industrial applications.
Unlike conventional controllers that host application I/O on a backplane, the UCSB controller relies on standalone computers to execute application code. It communicates through the IONet, a private Ethernet network, enabling the seamless transfer of data to and from the I/O modules. The controller itself has no application I/O hosts, simplifying its architecture while maintaining communication with all I/O networks to provide full input data access.
Designed with fault tolerance in mind, the UCSB controller ensures that no application input is lost during maintenance or repair. It is integrated with SIL 2 and SIL 3 functional safety loops when used in conjunction with the Mark VIeS UCSBSIA Safety controller and Safety I/O modules, making it suitable for safety-critical applications.
Applications
The GE IS420UCSBH4A is used primarily in industrial control systems such as gas turbine control systems. It is also applied in systems requiring high reliability, quick processing speed, and fault tolerance. With its robust architecture, it is ideal for safety applications where functional safety is critical. It is widely employed in power generation, petrochemical, and manufacturing sectors where turbine control and process optimization are essential.
