GE IS420UCSBH1A UCSB Universal Controller Card for Mark VIe Turbine Control System

Product Brief Description

The GE IS420UCSBH1A is a UCSB universal controller board for GE Vernova Mark VIe Speedtronic turbine control platform. It is a quad-core high-performance processor module running QNX real-time operating system, designed as the core control unit for gas turbines, steam turbines and generator sets. It communicates with distributed I/O packs via IONet, supports simplex, dual redundant and TMR configurations, and adopts optional conformal coating for harsh industrial environments. It is the predecessor variant of IS420UCSBH3A with different hardware revision and processor specification.

Product Functions

• Execute real-time turbine control logic including speed regulation, fuel valve control, load control and protection trip sequence
• High-speed data exchange with Mark VIe distributed I/O modules over dedicated IONet industrial Ethernet
• Support dual redundant or triple modular redundant (TMR) deployment for bumpless switchover upon controller failure
• Collect field signals: shaft speed, vibration, temperature, pressure, valve position and generator electrical parameters
• Record alarm events, sequence of events (SOE) and fault oscillography for post-fault analysis and diagnosis
• Interact with HMI, historian and SCADA through plant data highway to upload operating data and receive remote commands

Application Scenarios

• Combined cycle power plant heavy-duty gas turbine and steam turbine control
• Hydro turbine, aeroderivative gas turbine and generator protection & control systems
• Oil & gas turbine-driven compressor and pump control skids
• Industrial captive power plant and distributed generation turbine control cabinets
• Offshore platform power generation and marine turbo machinery control
