GE IS215VCMIH2CA VMEbus Communication Interface Card
Product Overview
The GE IS215VCMIH2CA is a critical VMEbus Communication Interface Card designed for GE’s Mark VIe control system, engineered to facilitate high-speed data exchange in gas turbine control, industrial automation, and power generation applications. As part of the IS215 Series, this module serves as the communication backbone between the system’s central processing unit (CPU) and I/O modules, supporting redundant configurations and real-time data synchronization. The IS215VCMIH2CA is optimized for harsh industrial environments, featuring rugged construction, extended temperature tolerance, and compliance with military-grade standards for vibration and shock resistance.
Featuring a PowerPC 750FX processor and 256 MB DDR2 SDRAM, the GE IS215VCMIH2CA delivers enhanced computational power compared to its predecessors, enabling faster data processing and communication. Its VME64x interface (64-bit, 66 MHz) supports high-speed data transfer, while three IONET communication ports (10/100 Mbps Ethernet) enable redundant communication paths for critical systems. The module’s dual RS-232/422 ports provide additional connectivity options for legacy devices, ensuring seamless integration into mixed-technology environments. With a -40°C to +70°C operating temperature range and conformal coating, the IS215VCMIH2CA ensures reliable operation in extreme conditions, from offshore oil platforms to arctic power plants.
In automation ecosystems, the IS215VCMIH2CA manages communication between the Mark VIe controller and distributed I/O racks, enabling real-time monitoring and control of turbines, generators, and auxiliary systems. Its support for triple modular redundancy (TMR) configurations enhances system reliability by providing fault tolerance and automatic failover capabilities. The module’s hot-swappable design allows for maintenance without system shutdown, minimizing downtime in continuous-operation environments. By combining robust hardware with advanced communication protocols, the IS215VCMIH2CA ensures seamless integration and reliable performance in mission-critical applications.
