GE IS215UCVEM10A – VME Controller Board for Mark VI Turbine Control Racks

The GE IS215UCVEM10A is a UCVE-series VME controller board used in GE Mark VI control systems. From my experience, it typically serves as the central processor in gas, steam, and balance-of-plant applications—handling sequencing, deterministic I/O processing, and network communications. If you’re running a Mark VI rack and need a stable, like-for-like CPU replacement, this model keeps downtime low and configuration changes minimal. One maintenance lead told us they swapped this into a Frame 9E cabinet and had the unit back in service within an hour, which seems to be a common story when the rack is healthy.

Key Features

• Mark VI VME controller role – Designed to operate as the rack CPU, coordinating I/O and sequencing in GE turbine control architectures.
• Deterministic performance – Works through the VME backplane and GE real-time network for predictable task timing in most cases.
• Redundancy friendly – Commonly used in dual/triple modular configurations; supports rapid switchover strategies when the system is configured that way.
• Serviceable front panel – You might notice status LEDs and service ports at the front, which makes field diagnostics faster.
• Ethernet connectivity – 10/100Base‑T for HMI and plant network links; port count can vary by revision, but the M10A follows the typical UCVE layout.
• Backplane powered – Draws power from the VME rack; no separate field power wiring, which keeps installation neat.
• Rack-drop replacement – In many cases it drops in with minimal parameter changes when replacing the same family board.

Technical Specifications

Related or Supporting Products

• IS215UCVEM09A – Earlier UCVE revision; often interchangeable in similar Mark VI racks with matching firmware.
• IS215UCVEM11A – Later UCVE variant with minor hardware/firmware updates for lifecycle support.
• IS200UCVEH2A – UCVE family board with enhanced environmental protection; used where coating or harsher conditions are expected.
• GE Mark VI VME rack and power supplies – Required backplane and regulated 5 VDC rails for proper UCVE operation.
• GE I/O packs and terminal boards (Mark VI family) – Analog/digital I/O modules that interface through the VME backplane and system networks.

Installation & Maintenance

• Cabinet and rack – Install in a clean, dry, grounded Mark VI VME rack. Maintain at least 25 mm clearance for airflow along the card edges.
• Wiring & grounding – Use shielded Ethernet cables for plant networks. Keep network and power wiring separated to reduce EMI.
• ESD handling – Handle the board using a grounded wrist strap and antistatic packaging. Insert and remove only with rack power isolated.
• Redundancy checks – If the system is dual/TMR, align firmware and configuration between controllers before returning to service.
• Routine care – Quarterly dust removal using dry air in low pressure; verify front-panel LEDs and system diagnostics for any logged faults.
• Firmware & configuration – Back up the controller image and application files. Update firmware only against your site-approved baseline.

Quality & Certifications

• Manufacturing quality – Produced under GE industrial quality systems (GE plants typically certified to ISO 9001).
• Certifications – CE and UL compliance are common for the Mark VI platform; RoHS status may depend on production date and region.
• Warranty – 365-day warranty from us. Functional testing before shipment is standard; test reports can be provided on request.

If you’re replacing a failed UCVE or planning a preventive swap, this IS215UCVEM10A keeps the change straightforward—typically no cabinet rework, just a controlled shutdown, board change, config alignment, and bring-up.
