GE IS215VCMIH2CC Bus Master Controller

IS215VCMIH2CC GE Mark VI VME Board

Product Introduction

The IS215VCMIH2CC acts as the central communication hub in the GE Mark VI control system. It connects the primary controller with multiple I/O boards. Additionally, this module handles the VME bus inside control and I/O racks. You can use it to assign unique IDs to all boards and terminal boards. Therefore, the system gains better organization and reliable data flow.

Technical Specifications

This controller module uses surface-mount technology. GE built the IS215VCMIH2CC in the United States. Its operating temperature range is from -30 to 65°C. The board follows the 6U VME standard with a width of only 0.787 inches.

For processing power, it includes a Texas Instruments TMS320C32 32-bit digital signal processor. This DSP handles complex math and signal tasks very well. Furthermore, the memory system includes 32 Kbytes of dual-port SRAM configured for 32-bit transfers. Specifically, you get 64k x 32 SRAM and 128k x 8 flash memory. The flash memory stores programs without losing data after power loss.

VME Bus Master Function

The IS215VCMIH2CC serves as the VME bus master inside the racks. Therefore, it controls data transfer and coordination across the VME bus. This role makes it different from standard I/O modules. Moreover, it manages the ID assignments for every board and terminal board in the rack. Consequently, the system recognizes each component in an orderly way.

Communication and Network Role

This module also links to the broader IONet system control network. It harmonizes communication across the entire network infrastructure. Thus, the IS215VCMIH2CC becomes a multifunctional communication hub. It seamlessly integrates the controller, I/O boards, and the network. For instance, when you need to exchange commands between the main controller and remote I/O, this module handles that task smoothly.

Mechanical and Environmental Parameters

The IS215VCMIH2CC operates reliably in tough industrial environments. Its temperature range is -30°C to 65°C. Additionally, the 6U height ensures compatibility with most VME chassis. The board uses surface-mount technology for better vibration resistance. Meanwhile, the compact width of 0.787 inches saves valuable rack space.

Installation Guidelines

First, power down the VME chassis completely. Next, align the IS215VCMIH2CC with an available VME slot. Push the board gently until the connectors lock. Then, tighten the front panel screws to secure it. Finally, power up the system and verify that the module correctly assigns IDs to all I/O boards.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What systems are compatible with the IS215VCMIH2CC?
This module works exclusively with the GE Mark VI control system. It fits VME racks that follow the 6U standard.

2. Can I use the IS215VCMIH2CC as a standalone processor?
No. The IS215VCMIH2CC functions as a bus master and communication interface. It requires a main Mark VI controller to operate properly.

3. How do I check if my VME rack supports this board?
You need a 6U VME chassis with standard VME bus backplane. Additionally, the rack must have an available slot width of 0.787 inches per position.

4. What happens if the board fails to assign IDs to I/O boards?
First, check all physical connections. Next, verify the firmware version. Finally, ensure no other VME master conflicts with the IS215VCMIH2CC on the same bus.

5. Do you provide programming or configuration support?
We supply the hardware only. However, we do offer basic installation guidance. For configuration, please refer to the GE Mark VI manual or contact a control system engineer.
