GE Fanuc IS200VCMIH1BCD | VCMI Communication Module

Overview

The GE Fanuc IS200VCMIH1BCD is a high-performance VCMI (VME Communication Interface) module engineered for the Mark VI (Speedtronic) turbine control system. Acting as the VME Bus Master, it ensures high-speed communication, synchronization, and fault-tolerant control essential for reliable turbine operation in power generation and industrial environments. Its compact and rugged design supports operation under extreme conditions.

Key Features

• Acts as the master controller for VME bus networks, coordinating system-wide communication.

• Implements Software Implemented Fault Tolerance (SIFT) voting for high reliability and continuous operation.

• High-speed data interface optimized for real-time turbine control.

• Industrial-grade durability with wide temperature and humidity tolerance.

• Lightweight, compact form factor for easy installation and integration.

Technical Specifications

Applications

Ideal for deployment in GE Mark VI turbine control systems for gas, steam, or combined-cycle turbines. Supports mission-critical monitoring and control in scenarios where fault tolerance and uptime are essential.
