Description

Product Overview

The GE IS220UCSAH1A is a high-performance Embedded Controller Module designed for GE’s Mark VIe Speedtronic Turbine Control System, specializing in real-time control logic execution, data processing, and network communication for mission-critical industrial applications. As a core component of the Mark VIe ecosystem, this module serves as the computational hub for gas/steam turbine control systems, wind energy platforms, and industrial automation systems, ensuring precise coordination between field devices and the central control system .

Featuring a Freescale PowerQUICC II Pro 667 MHz processor and 256 MB DDR SDRAM, the GE IS220UCSAH1A supports QNX Neutrino real-time operating system and ControlST v04.03.18C software for programmable logic control and diagnostics. The board interfaces with dual 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet ports, RS-232/RS-485 serial interfaces, and Ionet communication networks, enabling seamless integration with distributed I/O systems and plant-wide SCADA platforms. Its conformal-coated PCB and rugged design ensure resilience against moisture, dust, and electromagnetic interference (EMI), making it suitable for harsh environments such as offshore oil platforms and high-vibration industrial settings .

As part of the Mark VIe HazLoc-certified subseries, the GE IS220UCSAH1A is approved for use in hazardous locations (NFPA Class 1, Div. 2) when paired with compatible terminal boards (e.g., IS200TDBSH2A or IS200TDBTH2A). This modular design allows for flexible system expansion, supporting up to three redundant modules in Triple Modular Redundancy (TMR) architectures for SIL-rated safety applications .
