IS215UCVEM09B Product Description

Description

The IS215UCVEM09B is a high-performance universal control and expansion module developed by General Electric (GE) for the Speedtronic Mark VIe turbine control system—the industry standard for gas, steam, and combined-cycle power generation. This module serves as a versatile interface hub, expanding the system’s I/O capacity while providing essential signal conditioning, data processing, and communication capabilities. Its rugged design and advanced features make it ideal for demanding industrial environments where reliability and flexibility are paramount.

Application Scenarios

A 450MW gas turbine power plant in Pennsylvania faced challenges with its aging control system: limited I/O capacity and incompatible interfaces with newer sensors were causing data acquisition bottlenecks. The plant needed a solution that could integrate various signal types while providing reliable operation in the harsh turbine hall environment. After implementing the IS215UCVEM09B, the plant gained flexible I/O expansion capabilities, reducing the need for multiple specialized modules. The module’s advanced diagnostics helped reduce troubleshooting time by 75%, while its robust design ensured uninterrupted operation despite extreme temperature fluctuations. This upgrade enabled the plant to integrate modern sensors without a complete control system overhaul, saving approximately $300,000 in upgrade costs.

Application Cases and Industry Value

Combined-Cycle Power Plant Modernization: A 600MW plant needed to upgrade its control system to accommodate new emission monitoring equipment. The IS215UCVEM09B provided the necessary I/O expansion and signal conditioning, allowing the integration of new sensors without replacing the entire control system. This approach saved the plant over $500,000 compared to a full system upgrade.

Chemical Plant Turbine Control: A major chemical manufacturer implemented the IS215UCVEM09B in their turbine control system to handle diverse sensor inputs from their compression station. The module’s universal signal handling capability reduced the number of required modules by 40%, simplifying maintenance and improving system reliability. The plant reported a 30% reduction in unplanned downtime after the upgrade.
