Product Introduction
As a component in the control system, GE IS420UCPAH2A can realize the control of industrial equipment or processes, such as the operating parameters and operation sequence of gas turbines and other equipment. It has multiple input and output channels and can be connected to various sensors, actuators and other equipment to monitor process variables and output control signals to meet the signal interaction requirements in different industrial scenarios.

UCPA Installation
Remove UCPA Cover:

The UCPAH2A requires partial disassembly to remove the WEXP jumpers. This sets the expansion analog inputs 6–8 to 0–5
V mode (default with jumpers is 4–20 mA mode).
To remove the UCPA cover
1.Use a small flat-head screwdriver to unscrew the retaining screws on the power connector and remove it.
2.Remove the field wiring portion of both terminal blocks.
3.Locate the two indented sections of the cover (as shown in the following photo) and press firmly inward while pulling the
cover away from the base.
Wiring and Cabling:
Analog inputs, analog outputs, pulse rate inputs, and any associated field power should use shielded signal cables with shield
wires terminated on the provided chassis terminals. Discrete I/O may use non-shielded wiring. Ethernet cables should also be
the shielded type. Shielded cables provide additional surge suppression for signals exposed to transients. For field wiring,
refer to the terminal block pin definition tables for the STWC and WEXP.
The UCPA runs on a nominal 12 V dc power supply (9 to 16 V dc). The correct power connector is included with the UCPA
controller part kit (it is not the one used with the UCSB). The 12 V dc power input is intended to be powered from a supply
with Class II protection level. Wiring to the controller power input terminals shall be no more than 30 meters in length.
The UCPA is designed for simplex unit controls with integral I/O capability, a smaller footprint, and can operate in -40 to 70°
C ambient temperature range. BPPC processor speed and amount of RAM are the limiting factors. UCPA has approximately
25% the memory of UCSB. Be aware, however, that the internal UCPA processor and memory do have the following
limitations as compared to the UCSB controller:
•UCPA performance as relative to the UCSBH4A (1066MHz Intel® processor) is approximately 15% capability.
•UCPA performance as relative to the UCSBH1A (600 MHz Intel processor) is approximately 25% capability.
•UCPA cannot be part of a Shared IONet system.
•UCPA does not support OPC UA direct from the controller.
•UCPA can only support a maximum of six simplex distributed I/O packs over IONet with a minimum frame period of 20
ms.
•UCPA does not have a real-time clock, which is needed to fully support the SecurityST server.
•FOUNDATION fieldbus is not supported with UCPA.
