The GE IS215ACLEH1CA is a microprocessor-based Application Control Layer Module, a key component in GE’s Innovation Series drives and EX2100 excitation control systems. Designed as a master controller, it operates over Ethernet and ISBus networks, fitting into two half-slots in standard drive racks or EX2100 exciter backplanes. Housed in control cabinets, it orchestrates critical functions like communication, data processing, and system coordination for industrial drives and turbine excitation systems.
Equipped with a 128 KB L2 cache, 8 MB DRAM, and 4 MB flash BIOS, it integrates a CPU, PCI controller, and interfaces for seamless data exchange. Its functional revision “C” denotes updates, ensuring compatibility with modern systems while lacking backward compatibility with older ACLA models.
Features:
Centralized Control: Acts as a master controller, managing communication over Ethernet and ISBus to coordinate drives, sensors, and subsystems.
Robust Hardware: Includes a CPU, PCI controller, 128 KB L2 cache, and 8 MB DRAM for efficient data processing; 4 MB flash BIOS supports firmware storage and booting.
Flexible Mounting: Fits two half-slots in Innovation Series drive racks or EX2100 exciter racks, adapting to diverse industrial setups.
Software Capabilities: BIOS initializes hardware, directs boot sequences via COM1, and enables flash disk support; GE’s Control Systems Toolbox configures runtime actions, loads Pcode, and upgrades firmware over Ethernet.
Industrial Reliability: Designed for harsh environments, with secure backplane connectivity and robust components ensuring stable operation in drives and excitation systems.
