Description

GE IS215WETAH1BB Mark VIe Ethernet Interface Module

Product Overview

The GE IS215WETAH1BB is a high-performance Ethernet Interface Module designed for GE’s Mark VIe control system, engineered to provide seamless communication between industrial automation networks and legacy systems. As part of the IS215 Series, this module serves as a critical link for data exchange between the Mark VIe controller and external devices, supporting protocols such as Modbus TCPEthernet/IP, and IONET. The IS215WETAH1BB is optimized for harsh industrial environments, featuring rugged construction, extended temperature tolerance, and redundant communication capabilities to ensure uninterrupted operation in mission-critical applications.

 

Featuring dual 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet ports with IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol (PTP) support, the GE IS215WETAH1BB enables high-speed, synchronized data transfer across distributed control systems. Its PowerPC 750CL processor and 128 MB DDR2 RAM deliver robust computing power for protocol conversion and data processing, while 4 MB flash memory stores configuration files and firmware. The module’s hot-swappable design allows for maintenance without system shutdown, minimizing downtime in continuous-operation environments. With support for VxWorks real-time operating system and GE’s Proficy HMI/SCADA software, the IS215WETAH1BB integrates seamlessly into existing automation ecosystems, providing a bridge between legacy I/O modules and modern Ethernet-based networks.

 

In industrial settings, the IS215WETAH1BB facilitates communication between gas turbines, generators, and control centers, enabling real-time monitoring and adjustment of critical parameters. Its dual redundant Ethernet ports support ring topology configurations, ensuring network resilience in the event of cable breaks or device failures. The module’s conformal coating and compliance with MIL-STD-810G for vibration, shock, and temperature extremes (-40°C to +70°C) make it suitable for deployment in harsh environments such as offshore platforms, mining operations, and power plants.
