The IS420UCSCH1B is a quad-core controller manufactured by General Electric (GE) and is part of the Mark VIe family of controllers designed for industrial automation and control applications. Known for its high speed and reliability, the controller is powered by a 1.2GHz AMD G-series quad-core processor and is equipped with 4GB DDR3-1333 SDRAM memory. It supports a variety of platform configuration features, including Embedded Field Agent (EFA), embedded EtherCAT, and embedded PPNG, which help improve the communication efficiency of industrial networks and the overall performance of systems.
The IS420UCSCH1B controller is designed to operate in extreme temperature conditions, with a storage temperature range of -40 to 85°C (-40 to 185°F) and is capable of operating at altitudes of 0 to 1000 meters. With 3,067 non-volatile program variables, 64 accumulators and 338 torques, it ensures flexibility and accuracy in data processing. In addition, the controller offers a wealth of Ethernet interfaces, including five ports on the front panel and one port on the bottom for Predix Connectivity.
The QNX Neutrino operating system used by the IS420UCSCH1B controller is a real-time, multi-tasking operating system for industrial environments where speed and reliability are critical. In addition, the controller uses embedded field agent technology to deploy Predix cloud services and network applications over a stable connection, ensuring real-time data transfer.
Notably, the IS420UCSCH1B controller does not use a traditional backplane to host I/O applications, but instead operates independently, with its software and hardware architecture guaranteeing that no application input points are lost even when the controller is turned off for maintenance or repair. This makes the IS420UCSCH1B a unique and powerful component in the Mark VIe family for industrial control systems that require high reliability and data processing capabilities.
