Description
Product Overview
The GE IS215UCVHM06A IS200PMCIH1ACC is a GE VME-based control assembly associated with the Mark VI turbine-control platform. The IS215 designation identifies the larger VME-format board assembly, while IS200PMCIH1ACC is the associated IS200 board identification found in market documentation. Several industrial automation references describe the combination as a VME processor/control card or Mark VI communication-related assembly. The exact functional boundary between the IS215 carrier/processor assembly and the IS200 PMCI board should be confirmed against the original GE cabinet documentation before a replacement is approved.
Within a Mark VI installation, the GE IS215UCVHM06A IS200PMCIH1ACC belongs to the system’s computing and communication layer rather than being a conventional terminal-board I/O module. The VME architecture provides the board-level connection to the control system, while the associated PMCI hardware is identified in several references as part of the communication/control interface. That makes the assembly relevant to turbine control, monitoring, sequencing, and data exchange functions where the exact hardware configuration determines the implemented role.
The GE IS215UCVHM06A IS200PMCIH1ACC should be treated as a legacy Mark VI replacement item. Hardware revision, connector arrangement, processor configuration, and application software compatibility can all matter. Public listings sometimes publish detailed values such as 24 VDC operation, Ethernet ports, serial ports, memory capacity, or specific processor speeds, but I would not present those as guaranteed specifications for this exact assembly without GE documentation or a clear board photograph. Some of those listings appear to combine information from related GE embedded boards.

Technical caution: Do not copy the frequently published “24 VDC / 2 Ethernet / 2 COM / 32-bit CPU” specification into a technical datasheet for this exact part without verification. Those values appear in secondary listings, but the available evidence does not establish them as definitive GE specifications for IS215UCVHM06A + IS200PMCIH1ACC.

- GE IS215UCVEM06A — A related IS215 controller assembly appearing in references associated with the IS200PMCIH1A family. The relationship is important when comparing UCV-series hardware, but it should not be treated as a direct replacement without checking the complete configuration.
- GE IS200PMCIH1ABA — Another PMCI board revision appearing in Mark VI inventories. Its similar base designation does not guarantee electrical or firmware interchangeability.
- GE IS215VCMIH2BB — VMEbus Communication Interface Card associated with the Mark VI platform. It serves a communication role and can be relevant when troubleshooting the VME/IONet architecture, but it is not a direct substitute for the UCVHM assembly.
- GE IS215UCVHH1A — Related UCV-family hardware appearing in industrial control inventories. The UCV family relationship makes it useful for cross-reference work, but exact revision and system application must be confirmed.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is GE IS200PMCIH1ACC used for?
It is associated with the GE Mark VI VME-based turbine-control architecture and is generally classified as a controller/processor or communication-interface assembly rather than a standard terminal-board I/O module. Public references differ in their exact functional descriptions, so the cabinet BOM and board labels should be used for final identification.
2. Can I replace with another GE board?
Not based on the prefix alone.
Check:
- Complete ordering number.
- Associated IS200 board number.
- Board revision.
- VME slot position.
- Connector arrangement.
- Mark VI software/application revision.
- Existing cabinet BOM.
Two boards can have completely different system functions.
3. Does this assembly support firmware v3.1?
There is insufficient reliable public documentation to confirm a universal firmware v3.1 compatibility statement for /IS200PMCIH1ACC.
For a field replacement, record the installed board revision and system software information before removing the original. Firmware compatibility should be established against the actual Mark VI configuration rather than inferred from the board family.
4. Can I hot-swap the ?
Do not assume hot-swapping is supported.
The board is part of a VME-based control system, and removing a VME board from an energized rack can interrupt backplane communication or create unpredictable system behavior.
A controlled replacement should normally include:
- Controlled turbine shutdown where required
- Cabinet power isolation
- Board identification and documentation
- Removal of the existing assembly
- Installation of the matching replacement
- Power-up diagnostics
- VME/system communication verification
- Application-level functional testing
5. Will replacing this board erase my Mark VI control logic?
The board should not automatically be considered the sole storage location for the complete turbine-control application.
Still, before replacement, preserve the existing system configuration and application files. Record:
- Control application revision
- Hardware configuration
- I/O configuration
- Communication parameters
- Diagnostic information
- Firmware/software versions
This is particularly important on legacy Mark VI equipment where recreating an old software environment can be more difficult than replacing the hardware itself.
6. How do I verify a New Surplus ?
For this assembly, physical identification is critical.
Check:
- marking
- marking
- H1ACC board revision
- M06A assembly designation
- PCB condition
- VME connectors
- Backplane connector condition
- GE identification labels
- Serial number
- Power-up/diagnostic test results
A photograph of both sides of the board is particularly useful when secondary catalog descriptions conflict.
7. Is itself the same thing as ?
No—not necessarily.
The supplied identification contains two GE part numbers representing associated hardware. Some references describe as a communication board, while others associate it with an UCV assembly.
For procurement, retain the complete designation . Ordering only the PMCI board without confirming the required assembly configuration can result in the wrong spare.
