New GE Mark VIE Embedded Controller Module for Distributed Gas Turbine Control Systems with 1kg Weight and 12 Months Warranty

The GE IS220UCSAH1A is an Embedded Controller Module manufactured and designed by General Electric as part of the Mark VIe Series used in GE Distributed Gas Turbine Control Systems. The UCSA controller is a product line of stand-alone computers that run the application code.

The controller mounts in a panel and communicates with the I/O packs through onboard I/O network (IONet) interfaces. The I/O networks are private special-purpose Ethernet that supports only the I/O modules and the controllers.

The controller operating system (OS) is QNX Neutrino, a real-time multitasking OS, designed for high speed, high reliability, and industrial applications. The UCSA controller platform is available for use in many applications, including balance of plant control and some retrofits. It does not have enough processing power, however for some advanced model-based control applications.

Up to three components can be mounted adjacent to each other for a compact arrangement that easily serves triple redundant systems. It features an HMI (human machine interface) with software designed for running heavy-duty turbines, such as the CIMPLICITY graphics interface.
