IS215UCVEH2AE VMIVME-017614-132 350-017614-132D
General Electric (GE) Mark VIe Series IS215UCVEH2AE VMEbus Universal I/O Control Module (VMIVME-017614-132 / 350-017614-132D)
(The “GE Mark VIe Series” is a leading portfolio of control and I/O modules for critical industrial applications, designed for high reliability in rugged environments (e.g., extreme temperatures, vibration). The IS215UCVEH2AE is a flagship universal I/O module in this series: “IS215” aligns with GE’s Mark VIe I/O module taxonomy, “UCVEH2AE” stands for “Universal Control Vehicle-Grade Enhanced 2-channel Analog/Ethernet,” emphasizing its mixed I/O capabilities and ruggedization for vehicle/heavy-industry use. The codes “VMIVME-017614-132” confirm compliance with the VMEbus standard (IEEE 1014) for embedded computing, while “350-017614-132D” denotes the module’s hardware revision and component-grade certification. Its core function is to bridge field sensors/actuators with GE Mark VIe controllers, enabling real-time analog/digital signal processing and Ethernet communication—critical for power turbine control, marine engine management, and industrial process automation.)
2. Product Description
The IS215UCVEH2AE module is a rugged, multi-functional I/O control component, optimized for harsh industrial and vehicle-grade environments where reliability and durability are paramount. In a combined cycle power plant’s gas turbine control system, for example, this module integrates with a GE Mark VIe controller to monitor and control 8 critical parameters: 4 analog inputs (connecting to turbine exhaust temperature sensors, 4-20mA DC), 2 digital inputs (tracking fuel valve position switches), and 2 analog outputs (regulating fuel flow and compressor airflow). The module leverages its VMEbus interface to communicate with the controller at a data transfer rate of 40MB/s, ensuring turbine operating data (e.g., “Exhaust temp = 620°C, Fuel flow = 1800 kg/h”) is transmitted in real time—enabling the controller to adjust parameters within milliseconds and prevent turbine overheating or efficiency losses.
A key advantage of the IS215UCVEH2AE is its ruggedized design and environmental resilience. It meets MIL-STD-810H standards for vibration (5-2000Hz, 10g peak) and temperature (-40°C to +85°C operating range), making it suitable for installation directly on turbine skids or marine engine enclosures—eliminating the need for climate-controlled cabinets. The module also features
