Description
🔧 Product Overview
The GE IS215UCVFH2BB is a VME-based CPU/controller board associated with the VMIVME-7650-83H and 350-007650-83H C identification numbers.
The board is used in GE industrial control architectures and is commonly associated with Mark VI turbine control systems, particularly wind, steam, and gas turbine automated drive applications. Its role is centered on real-time control processing, system communication, and coordination with other VME-based control hardware.
The complete identification is important when sourcing a replacement:
IS215UCVFH2BB → VMIVME-7650-83H → 350-007650-83H C
These identifiers should be compared with the existing board before installation because GE VME controller boards can have hardware and firmware differences between revisions.

Publicly available references identify IS215UCVFH2BB with VMIVME-7650-83H and 350-007650-83H C, but the detailed processor and memory specifications found online are inconsistent. For a replacement part, the physical board identification and revision are therefore more reliable than generic specifications published by resellers.
🖥️ VME CPU Controller Function
The VMIVME-7650 family belongs to GE’s VME-based industrial computing and control hardware.
In a turbine-control installation, a board of this type operates as part of the controller architecture rather than functioning as a standalone PLC I/O module. It can participate in real-time processing, system communication, data handling and coordination with other control boards.
This makes the IS215UCVFH2BB different from GE Mark VI terminal boards such as thermocouple or relay termination cards. It is primarily a computing/control board.
🔗 System Integration
The IS215UCVFH2BB should be considered a system-level component.
Depending on the original GE configuration, the controller board may work together with:
- VME backplane hardware
- GE Mark VI control processors
- I/O interface boards
- Communication modules
- Turbine protection/control equipment
- Operator and engineering interfaces
- Field signal processing hardware
The exact VME slot assignment and associated boards should be checked against the turbine’s original hardware configuration before replacement.
🏭 Typical Applications
The IS215UCVFH2BB is associated with industrial control applications including:
- Gas turbine control
- Steam turbine control
- Wind turbine control
- Turbine automated drive assemblies
- Power-generation automation
- Real-time industrial control
- VME-based control systems
- Legacy GE Mark VI installations
- Industrial equipment monitoring and coordination
References describing the exact part identify it with GE Mark VI turbine-control applications and wind, steam and gas turbine automated drive assemblies.
🔩 Installation & Replacement Guide
When replacing an existing IS215UCVFH2BB:
- Shut down and isolate the control cabinet according to site procedures.
- Record the original board part number and revision.
- Confirm IS215UCVFH2BB on the replacement board.
- Confirm the associated VMIVME-7650-83H / 350-007650-83H C identification where applicable.
- Record existing jumper, switch and configuration positions before removal.
- Use ESD protection when handling the PCB.
- Inspect the VME connector and board edge contacts.
- Install the board in the correct VME slot.
- Reconnect associated system hardware.
- Restore power and check controller diagnostics.
- Verify communication with the remaining control system.
- Confirm application operation before returning the turbine to service.
For turbine-control equipment, do not change jumper or firmware configuration simply because another board appears physically identical.
🔄 Compatibility & Replacement Notes
The following identifiers are important when matching this part:
IS215UCVFH2BB
Primary GE board identification.
VMIVME-7650-83H
Associated VME controller identification.
350-007650-83H C
Associated GE part/assembly identification.
These numbers are frequently listed together, but they should not automatically be treated as independent interchangeable part numbers. The safest replacement method is to match the complete board identification, hardware revision and existing system configuration.
A replacement from another VMIVME-7650 variant may have different hardware resources or firmware and should be checked before installation.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is GE IS215UCVFH2BB?
A: It is a GE VME-based CPU/controller board associated with the VMIVME-7650-83H platform and GE Mark VI turbine-control applications.
Q: What is VMIVME-7650-83H?
A: It is the associated VMIVME identification for the controller board assembly.
