    • High-Speed Processor: Dual-core ARM architecture with deterministic real-time execution.
    • Memory: 256 MB RAM, 1 GB Flash (expandable via SD card).
    • I/O Capacity: Supports up to 256 digital/analog channels (expandable with TPMC815-11).
    • Communication: Dual Gigabit Ethernet ports, Modbus TCP/IP, DNP3, IEC 61850, and Profibus DP.
    • Redundancy: Hot-swappable, supports 1:1 redundancy for fault tolerance.
• TPMC815-11 (Expansion Module)
  • Function: Extends the I/O and processing capabilities of the IS215UCVEH2AE.
  • Features:
    • Additional I/O: 64 digital inputs, 32 digital outputs, and 16 analog channels (configurable).
    • Signal Conditioning: Built-in isolation and filtering for harsh industrial environments.
    • Fieldbus Support: Integrates with HART, Foundation Fieldbus, and PROFINET.
    • Power Supply: Wide-range DC input (9–36 VDC) with transient protection.

2. Combined System (IS215UCVEM08B)

• Unified Architecture: The combination of IS215UCVEH2AE and TPMC815-11 forms a modular, scalable controller (IS215UCVEM08B) optimized for:
  • Turbine Control: Gas/steam turbine speed and load regulation.
  • Power Plant Automation: Boiler-turbine coordination, grid synchronization.
  • Oil & Gas: Pipeline compression, wellhead control.
• Performance:
  • Scan Time: <1 ms (deterministic for fast-loop control).
  • Programming: Supports IEC 61131-3 languages (LD, ST, FBD, SFC) via GE’s CIMPLICITY or Proficy Machine Edition.
  • Diagnostics: Advanced self-testing, predictive maintenance alerts, and black-box recording.

3. Environmental & Safety Compliance

• Operating Conditions:
  • Temperature: -40°C to +70°C (-40°F to +158°F).
  • Humidity: 5–95% RH (non-condensing).
  • Shock/Vibration: MIL-STD-810G, IEC 60068-2-27/64.
• Certifications:
  • ATEX/IECEx: For hazardous areas (Zone 2, Class I/II Div 2).
