GE Vernova’s Mark VIe control system UCSE

GE Vernova’s Mark VIe control system is an integrated control

system that is widely used in a diverse range of applications

including gas and steam turbines, safety systems, wind

turbines, gasification, hydro, nuclear, and combined cycle

power plants. These diverse applications require a controller

that can deliver the high performance and flexibility needed

to run application specific control reliably.

The Mark VIe UCSE is a stand-alone controller that uses

QNX® Neutrino, a real-time, multi-tasking operating system

(OS), to run application-specific control system logic.

The UCSE controller offers the following advantages:

• Single module

• No battery

• No jumper settings required

• ToolboxST programmatically updates the host application

board programmable devices

The UCSE controller mounts in a panel and communicates with

I/O modules through on-board I/O network (IONet), PROFINET,

High-speed Serial Link (HSSL), and/or other interfaces.

The available versions of the UCSE controller are: UCSEH2A

for Mark VIe, UCSEH2B for Mark VIe, LS2100e Static Starters,

and EX2100e Voltage Regulators, and UCSEH2C for EX2100e

Static Exciters.
