IS200UCVEH2AE | 24V UCVE VME Bus H2 with AE

Description

Product Introduction (Anti-Template)

When your control system demands higher communication bandwidth than standard boards can deliver, the UCVE series steps up—and the ‘H2AE’ suffix represents a specific high-performance configuration. The IS200UCVEH2AE is the UCVE (Universal Communication VME Bus Enhanced) variant for the Mark VIe system, designed for high-speed data communication with enhanced throughput and reliability. This board handles data transfer between system modules in applications with higher communication demands.

The ‘H2AE’ designation indicates a specific variant—the H2 offers higher communication throughput than the H1 variant, and the ‘AE’ suffix represents the ‘A’ revision with enhanced component selection. The ‘A’ revision brings improved communication reliability and updated firmware. Compared to the base IS200UCVEH2, the ‘AE’ offers better data throughput stability and improved performance under high-bus-load conditions. This board is a drop-in replacement for the IS200UCVEH2, with no software changes required.

Key Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What is the UCVE board used for in a Mark VIe system?

A: The UCVE provides enhanced VME bus communication between system modules with higher throughput than standard communication boards. It’s used in applications with higher communication demands.

Q: What’s the difference between the H1 and H2 variants?

A: The H2 variant offers higher communication throughput than the H1 variant, making it suitable for applications with more demanding data transfer requirements.

Q: What does the ‘AE’ suffix indicate?

A: The ‘AE’ suffix represents the ‘A’ revision with enhanced component selection—improved communication reliability, better throughput stability, and better performance under high-bus-load conditions.

Q: Can I replace a UCVEH2 board with a UCVEH2AE without any changes?

A: Yes. The ‘AE’ is a drop-in replacement. No software changes, no wiring changes, no configuration changes.

Q: Is the UCVE board hot-swappable?

A: We advise against hot-swapping communication controller boards. Interrupting the system bus while the system is live can cause communication errors. Power down the cabinet segment before swapping.

Q: What bench testing should I do before installing a UCVE board?

A: Standard communication controller protocol. First, visual inspection. Second, verify continuity on backplane connectors. Third, power up and verify communication with other modules. Fourth, run throughput tests to verify enhanced performance.

Q: How do I verify I’m getting a genuine UCVE board?

A: Check component markings against GE documentation. Weigh the board; should be about 358 grams. Look for the GE holographic security label.

Q: Where do I find the official documentation for the UCVEH2AE?

A: GE document GEI-100620 series covers the UCVE communication boards. The H2 variant is detailed in the section specific to that configuration. Always cross-reference against your system documentation.
