Detailed data
GE IS420UCSBH3A Controller Module
The IS420UCSBH3A is a Mark VIe series UCSB controller module developed by GE. UCSB controllers are standalone computers that run application-specific control system logic. UCSB controllers do not host any application I/O, whereas traditional controllers do on the backplane. Each controller is also connected to all I/O networks, giving them access to all input data. Due to the hardware and software architecture, if a controller loses power for maintenance or repair, no application input points are lost.
The UCSB controller installed in the panel communicates with the I/O packs through the onboard I/O network (IONet) interface. Mark Control I/O modules and controllers are the only devices supported by IONet, a specialized Ethernet network.
It is a single module that interfaces with external I/O packs through the onboard I/O network connector. The backplane connector on the side of the controller was used in previous generations of Speedtronic control systems to create these types of interfaces.
The module is driven by a quad-core CPU and comes pre-installed with application software. The processor runs on the QNX Neutrino operating system, which is designed to provide real-time, high-speed, and reliable operation.
This is an Intel EP80579 microprocessor with 256 MB of SDRAM memory and operates at 1200 MHz. Before adding shipping materials.
The front panel of this component has several LEDs for troubleshooting. The port link and activity LEDs indicate if a true Ethernet link has been established and if traffic is low.
There is also a power LED, boot LED, online LED, flash LED, DC LED, and diagnostic LED. There are also on and OT LEDs to consider. The OT LED will illuminate if an overheating condition occurs. Typically, the controller is mounted on a panel metal plate.
The UCSBH3 Quad-Core Mark VIe controller was developed for industrial applications that require high speed and high reliability. It contains a large amount of software tailored to its purpose. The real-time, multi-tasking controller operating system (OS) is QNX Neutrino.
Designed to operate over a wide temperature range of 0 to 65°C, the IS420UCSBH3A is suitable for use in a wide range of industrial environments. This wide operating temperature range ensures that the module maintains its performance and reliability even under extreme conditions, from cooler controlled environments to hotter industrial environments.
The IS420UCSBH3A is manufactured by GE to the high quality and reliability standards for which GE is renowned. The module’s rugged construction and advanced features ensure long-term durability and consistent performance, reducing the need for frequent maintenance and increasing system uptime.
In summary, the GE IS420UCSBH3A control system module is a versatile and powerful industrial automation solution. Its high-speed 1200 MHz EP80579 Intel processor, flexible input voltage, support for a wide range of wire sizes, and wide operating temperature range make it an ideal choice for demanding industrial applications. Its compact size and reliable construction further enhance its suitability for integration into modern control systems.
The module represents a reliable and efficient solution that improves the performance and reliability of industrial automation systems, ensuring optimal control and data processing capabilities in a compact form factor.
Frequently asked questions about the product are as follows:
-What is the IS420UCSBH3A?
The IS420UCSBH3A is a UCSB controller module manufactured by General Electric, part of the Mark VIe series used in industrial control systems.
-What do the LED indicators on the front panel mean?
The OT indicator shows amber when the internal components exceed the recommended limit; the ON indicator indicates the status of the recovery process; the DC indicator shows steady green when the controller is selected as the design controller; the ONL indicator is steady green when the controller is online and running the application code. In addition, there are power LEDs, boot LEDs, flash LEDs, diagnostic LEDs, etc., which can be used to determine the different states of the controller.
-What network protocols does it support?
The IEEE 1588 protocol is used to synchronize the I/O packets and the controller's clock to within 100 microseconds through R, S, T IONets, and send and receive external data to the controller's control system database over these networks.
