Description
Product Overview
The GE IS215WEPAH2B is a Wind Energy Pitch Axis Control Board designed for GE’s Mark VIe Speedtronic Turbine Control System, specifically engineered to manage critical pitch control functions in wind turbines. As part of the Mark VIe functional safety ecosystem, this module provides precise control over blade pitch angles to optimize energy capture and ensure safe operation in varying wind conditions. Its rugged design with conformal coating protects against moisture, dust, and electromagnetic interference (EMI), making it suitable for offshore and high-vibration environments 310.
Key features include real-time data processing, support for simplex or triple modular redundant (TMR) configurations, and compatibility with GE’s ControlST software for advanced programming. The board interfaces with Ionet switches and distributed I/O modules to enable seamless integration with turbine control systems 1023.

Key Features and Advantages
Precision Pitch Control:
- Optimizes energy production by adjusting blade angles in real-time based on wind speed and turbine load, ensuring maximum efficiency and reducing mechanical stress 1023.
- Supports simplex or TMR redundancy for fault tolerance, with self-diagnostic capabilities to detect and isolate failures 10.
Rugged Environmental Design:
- Conformal coating and robust PCB construction shield against contaminants, while the operating temperature range (-30°C to +65°C) suits extreme industrial conditions 310.
- Factory-drilled mounting holes allow secure rack or panel installation in wind turbine nacelles 10.
Scalable System Integration:
- Works alongside GE’s Mark VIe I/O modules (e.g., IS215WEMAH1A, IS215WEPAH2BB) and UCV-series controllers (e.g., IS215UCVEM09B) for scalable control systems 1023.
- Supports EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP, and OPC UA protocols for integration with plant-wide control systems 10.
Cost-Effective Solution:
- Offers a cost-effective alternative to CAN bus-equipped boards without compromising performance, making it ideal for systems where CAN functionality is unnecessary 3.
- Backward compatible with the obsolete IS215WEPAH2A, allowing incremental system upgrades without full replacement 3.
