Functional Description

The IS215VCMIH2CC is a GE-developed bus master controller module that is part of the Mark VI control system.

It is part of the Mark VI control system.The VCMI bus master controller plays a key role in the system architecture as an integrated communications interface that coordinates the exchange of data and commands.

As the link between the master dcs-sis.com controller and the array of I/O boards, the VCMI ensures smooth and efficient communication channels and facilitates seamless integration of the various components.

In addition, VCMI’s importance is reflected in its connection to the wider system control network, known as the IONet, which plays a vital role in coordinating communications across the network infrastructure.  

Features

A distinctive feature of the VCMI is that it acts exclusively as a VMEbus master within the control and input/output racks.

The VCMI is responsible for the VMEbus, a standardized computer bus structure, and oversees the coordination of data transfer and control signals within these racks.

The VCMI manages the assignment of unique identification (ID) to all boards in the rack and their associated terminal boards.

This ID management function ensures that the various components within the rack are identified and interacted with in a systematic and organized manner, thereby increasing the overall efficiency and reliability of the system.

The VCMI Bus Master Controller is a multifaceted communications hub that seamlessly connects controllers, I/O boards and the broader system control network.

As a VME Bus Master Controller in a given rack, it enhances its ability to manage and optimize the flow of information, ultimately improving the performance and cohesiveness of the integrated system.

Board Type: 6U High VME Boards

The boards specified are classified as 6U High VME boards and are dimensioned to meet the widely adopted VME standard. At 6U high, the boards conform to a standard form factor and are compatible with a range of systems and platforms that meet the same specifications.

At 0.787 inches wide, this VME board integrates seamlessly into the VME chassis, contributing to the modularity and scalability of the overall system.

The Enervista 745 software program can also be used to edit setpoints. Utilizing GE Multilin’s quick connect feature, the

Connecting the relay to a computer is simple with the GE Multilin Quick Connect feature. The connection can be established via Ethernet, the RS232 port on the front, or the RS485/RS422 port on the back of the panel.

The program assists in managing system setup and automatically flags programming errors or conflicts as the user adjusts setpoints.

The 745-W2-P1-G1-HI-T-H’s enhanced 40-character display is larger than the base model and includes an extended keypad for easy manual setpoint entry.

The enclosure is 9″ high by 7″ wide by 7 ⅛” deep. The transformer protection system can be mounted on a standard 19″ panel, but care should be taken that the enclosure door opens and closes freely without contact with other components.

A number of LEDs on the front of the chassis alert the user to various statuses and errors in real time.

Frequently Asked Questions about the 745-W2-P1-G1-HI-T-H

What makes the Multilin 745-W2-P1-G1-Hi-T-H unique compared to other transformer protection relays in the 745 series?

The 745-W2-P1-G1-Hi-T-H Multilin transformer protection series contains unique options that differ from other part numbers.

Notably, the “-H” option indicates that the relay has a harsh chemical environment conformal coating for operation in harsh environments.

The T option in the 745-W2-P1-G1-Hi-T-H Multilin Dual Winding Transformer Management Relay differs from other relays in the 745 system in terms of display and Ethernet.

Transformer protection systems without the T option have either a basic display (B) or an enhanced display (E) with a larger LCD.

The T option comes with an enhanced display, larger LCD, and 10Base-T Ethernet.
