Ii. Key Technical Specifications

IS420UCSCH1A-B

Core performance

Computing power: 1.2GHz quad-core, supporting multi-threaded parallel processing of complex control logic and high-speed data interaction.

Storage: On-board RAM and Flash, compatible program solidification, data caching and fault recording.

Communication: Dual redundant Ethernet ports (supporting IONet, Ethernet/IP, Modbus TCP, etc.), supporting EFA (Embedded Field Agent) connection to Predix cloud to achieve remote monitoring and data analysis.

Environment and Physics

Operating temperature: -40℃ to 85℃ (storage), 0℃ to 60℃ (operation).

Power consumption: Approximately 15W (24V DC power supply, ±10%).

Weight: approximately 1.33kg, compatible with standard Mark VIe rack mounting.

Iii. Core Functions and Applications

Real-time control: Execute complex algorithms such as turbine control, sequential logic, and PID to meet the millisecond-level control closed loop.

Redundancy and fault tolerance:

Three-mode voting in TMR mode, non-intrusive switching in case of failure, suitable for safety-critical scenarios; Dual-machine/simplex design is suitable for different reliability requirements scenarios.

Data interaction:

By connecting the IS420 series I/O modules (such as the IS410TRLYS1B relay board) via IONet, it supports digital/analog signal acquisition and output, and is simultaneously interconnected with HMI, SCADA, and other controllers via Ethernet.

Safety and Diagnosis:

SIL3 compatibility, built-in self-diagnosis and logging for faults, EFA technology supports remote operation and maintenance as well as predictive maintenance.

Iv. Selection and Supporting Tips

Redundant configuration:

TMR requires 3 sets of controllers + matching I/O, dual-machine requires 2 sets, and simplex requires 1 set. Select according to the system safety level.

Expand I/O:

Expand I/O packages such as IS420YDO and IS420ADC through IONet to match the on-site signal type and the number of channels.

Version differences:

Compared with IS420UCSBH1A (600MHz dual-core UCSB controller), UCSC has stronger performance, more complete redundancy, and is suitable for more complex control scenarios.

V. Core Advantages

High reliability:

QNX system + redundant design ensures continuous operation of critical equipment.

High performance:

The quad-core processor supports complex algorithms and concurrent multitasking.

Easy integration: Compact design, compatible with the Mark VIe ecosystem, and adaptable to the upgrade and expansion of new and old systems
