About the F31X300CCHADG1
F31X300CCHADG1--Control Card
The F31X300CCHADG1 is a circuit board fabricated by General Electric for use within several of their general purpose drive systems. Among these is the DC-300 drive, as well as other similar drives. Now typically considered obsolete systems, these drives were designed by GE to be flexible and powerful, capable of performing a variety of tasks in industrial settings.
The F31X300CCHADG1 functions as a Control Card. It is etched on its surface with codes like VA-4, 005/0, 004/0, and its alternate board number of 531X300CCHAEM2.
The F31X300CCHADG1 is a large, rectangular board that has been drilled in each corner. The board has eight standoffs pre-mounted into its surface. These standoffs allow auxiliary boards to be added as needed. Auxiliary boards screw mount into standoffs, which keep them securely in place. Communication between the boards is achieved through cable connections plugged into one of several vertical pin connectors on the surface of the primary board.
Other components on the F31X300CCHADG1 include eleven transistors, multiple jumper switches, and six red LED indicators. These components are numbered in sequence (1/2/4/8/16/32.) The board also uses diodes, resistors (primarily of metal film,) capacitors, inductors, and eight potentiometers. The board also has more than two dozen resistor network arrays. Connectors on the board include two header connectors of various size, individual terminal pin connectors, and six vertical pin cable connectors, all male. More information on this board, including information regarding installation and function, may be found through publications from the original manufacturer, like manuals, user guides, and data sheets.
