Current technical records consistently associate IS215UCVEM01A / IS215UCVEH2AF / VMIVME-7614-133 / 350-017614-133 E with the GE Mark VI controller architecture. One current product record specifies a 300 MHz Intel Celeron processor, 32 MB DRAM, 16 MB CompactFlash, two 10/100Base-TX Ethernet ports, and a 1.27 kg listed unit weight. Another current record identifies IS215UCVEH2AF as a single-slot Mark VI VME controller based on the VMIC 7614 family. ([turn567028search5])

Product Introduction

The physical controller assembly is the computing point inside the Mark VI VME control cabinet. The IS215UCVEH2AF belongs to the UCVE controller family, while IS215UCVEM01A and VMIVME-7614-133 / 350-017614-133 E identify the associated board and VMIC assembly configuration. The UCVEH2 family is documented as a single-slot VME controller using a 300 MHz Intel Celeron-class processor, with 32 MB DRAM and 16 MB flash memory in the published technical record. ([turn567028search5])

For warehouse and customs control, retain every identifier exactly as supplied. The 350-017614-133 E designation is particularly useful because it ties the GE controller assembly to the VMIC hardware identity; older and newer UCVE configurations can differ in Ethernet, Profibus, ISBus, or other interface population. GE component documentation also indicates that the UCVEM family can provide additional interfaces beyond the standard UCVEH2 configuration (which makes a photo of the rear/front connectors valuable before an exact replacement is approved).

Core Technical Specifications

The UCVEH2 family and UCVEM variants are not all interface-identical. Current technical documentation distinguishes the standard UCVEH2 from UCVEM variants that can carry additional Ethernet or industrial-bus interfaces. ([turn567028search5])

🚨 Global Compliance & Industry Certifications

Certification must be linked to the complete GE Mark VI equipment configuration, exact hardware revision, and installation environment.

• CE Mark: May apply to the complete Mark VI control system. Do not state standalone CE conformity for the bare controller without the applicable GE declaration.
• UL/cUL: Do not state independent UL/cUL listing for this specific assembly without revision-specific evidence.
• ATEX / IECEx: Do not infer hazardous-area approval from the controller part number. The complete cabinet, enclosure, power arrangement, wiring, and approved Mark VI configuration determine suitability.
• Class I, Division 2 / Zone 2: Applicability is installation-specific and requires confirmation from the certified equipment documentation.
• Marine Approvals: No independent DNV, ABS, or Lloyd’s Register approval was established for this exact controller assembly from the records reviewed.
• EMC: The VME processor, Ethernet interfaces, and auxiliary communications should be evaluated within the complete Mark VI cabinet EMC design.

Why this matters: This controller communicates with the wider turbine-control architecture. An uncertified modification or incorrect interface variant can create a control-system documentation gap even when the CPU successfully boots.

Verify specific lot certifications with OEM.

🚨 Long-Term Storage & Asset Preservation Guide

Keep the controller sealed in an ESD shielding bag. Protect the VME connector, Ethernet interfaces, serial connectors, and front-panel indicators from mechanical impact and contamination. Use a rigid tray rather than loose shelf storage.

Inspect the onboard battery before long-term storage. Current records for the associated IS215UCVEM01A assembly identify two lithium batteries as part of the hardware. For long-duration warehouse storage, record the battery type, date code, and condition; follow GE’s approved battery-retention procedure rather than removing batteries without documentation.

Keep humidity below 60% RH where practical. Avoid condensation and repeated temperature cycling. With legacy VME computers, connector oxidation and aged electrolytic components can create boot or communication failures after years of storage even when the board appears clean.

Preserve the complete identity IS215UCVEM01A / IS215UCVEH2AF / VMIVME-7614-133 / 350-017614-133 E in the inventory record. Do not relabel it merely as “UCVE CPU.”

Physical Installation Prerequisites

• Host System: Install only in the approved GE Mark VI VME architecture.
• Rack Position: Confirm the designated VME slot before removal; this is a single-slot controller assembly.
• Power Isolation: Use the approved turbine-control shutdown and lockout/tagout procedure before extraction.
• Connector Mapping: Photograph and label all Ethernet, serial, ISBus, and auxiliary connections before removal.
• Backplane: Inspect the VME connector for bent, recessed, oxidized, or contaminated contacts.
• Cooling: Maintain the VME rack airflow path; do not obstruct ventilation around the processor assembly.
• Clearance: Preserve enough front and rear service access for connector removal and cable bend radius. Follow the actual GE cabinet drawing rather than applying a generic clearance dimension.
• Grounding: Preserve the Mark VI cabinet protective-earth and signal-reference scheme.
• Battery: Check the battery condition before commissioning a stored unit.
• Configuration: Verify IP addressing, EGD groups, Modbus settings, and application configuration where applicable.
• Software: Confirm the installed Mark VI application and controller software are appropriate for the supplied hardware revision.
• ESD: Use a grounded wrist strap and ESD-safe work surface.
• Final Verification: Confirm controller boot, communication links, VME diagnostics, and turbine-control application status before returning the system to service.

Current records identify VMIVME-7614-133 / 350-017614-133 E as the associated Mark VI controller hardware and connect it to the / assembly. ([turn567028search0])

Buyer’s FAQ

Q1. What HS Tariff Code should be used for this controller assembly?
Do not assign a definitive HS classification from “VME CPU board” alone. This is a specialized industrial control computer, and classification can vary according to the importing jurisdiction and the declared principal function. Have the customs broker review the processor architecture, VME function, invoice description, and destination tariff schedule.

Q2. What Country of Origin documentation should accompany the shipment?
Use the actual manufacturing origin supported by supplier or manufacturer evidence. The shipping warehouse does not establish COO. Keep the commercial invoice, packing list, COO statement or certificate where applicable, exact part-number photograph, serial number, and VMIC/GE identification together in the audit file.

Q3. Can / be hot-swapped?
Do not assume live extraction is acceptable. This is an active VME processor assembly controlling turbine-system functions and connected to multiple communication interfaces. Unless the exact GE Mark VI procedure authorizes live replacement for the installed architecture, perform a controlled shutdown and power isolation.

Q4. Does a New Original 350-017614-133 E include the latest firmware?
Do not assume that it does. The assembly is an active controller with system application software, flash storage, and configuration data. Current records identify the 300 MHz processor and 16 MB flash configuration, but they do not establish one universal “latest” software image for every Mark VI installation. ([turn567028search0]) Before PO release, request the hardware revision, firmware/software identification where available, and compatibility confirmation for the target Mark VI system.

Q5. What warranty and shipping controls should be required?
The quotation should state the complete / / / 350-017614-133 E identity, hardware revision, physical condition, serial information, warranty period, return procedure, and test scope. For international freight, use ESD shielding, rigid protection around the VME connector, moisture control, and insurance based on the documented replacement value.
