Product Description
This IS215UCVDH5AP General Electric printed circuit board was originally designed for manufacture for the Mark VI Speedtronic Series of Turbine Control Systems and Turbine Control System products. This printed circuit board or PCB for short is actually better-definable by its functional product description as an Input Module Board, which appears in some original, factory-issued instructional manual materials detailing this PCB. This IS215UCVDH5AP Input Module Board is actually a revised version of a preexisting Mark VI Speedtronic Series product offering; altering the IS215UCVDH5 printed circuit board through its inclusion of two functional revisions, including the seldom-seen P-rated secondary functional revision. While this IS215UCVDH5AP model PCB can be described as a General Electric product, its location of original manufacture can be traced down to GE Industrial Systems' Salem, Virginia factory plant location. GE Industrial Systems is the General Electric subsidiary company responsible for manufacturing all of GE's Mark VI Speedtronic Series.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
This IS215UCVDH5AP Input Module Board's original instructional manual materials seem to offer much more information than this product's rather flimsy functional description as an Input Module Board. To start off, the IS215UCVDH5AP Module Board is explained to incorporate several different types of ports for various connectivity demands. This IS215UCVDH5AP board's primary noticeable port is its ethernet port, recognizable across many GE Mark VI Speedtronic Series modules. This ethernet port was included in the IS215UCVDH5AP Input Module Board's assembly for streamlined UDH or Unit Data Highway communications. As alluded to earlier, this is not the only port accessible on the face plate of this IS215UCVDH5AP board, as other important connector ports include:
- ISBus drive LAN Ports
- A MONITOR port for GE use only
- A COM1 RS-232C port for control setup
- A COM2 RS-232C port for serial communication
- A KEYBOARD port for GE use only
- A MOUSE port for GE use only
In addition to the various port offering attached to this IS215UCVDH5AP board's front faceplate, this PCB seems to feature an elevated amount of diagnostic LED indicators as well, each of which tasked with displaying fault or normative statuses concerning various diagnostic processes ranging from runtime errors to download problems. This IS215UCVDH5AP General Electric printed circuit board additionally makes use of a standard number of voltage-limiting hardware components in its assembly; including transistors, resistors, capacitors and diodes.
All of the hardware components affixed to the base circuit board of this IS215UCVDH5AP Input Module Board should be well-protected from basic daily wear and tear by this product's conformal style of printed circuit board coating, which should be chemically applied to envelop and protect every hardware component included in its assembly. This conformal style of PCB coating was discovered upon an inspection of the functional IS215UCVDH5AP product number, which relays a plethora of different information concerning this UCVD-abbreviated circuit board; its special assembly version, UCVD functional acronym, group five Mark VI Series grouping and two functional acronyms included.
