About the DS3800DMPC1E1C
This DS3800DMPC1E1C printed circuit board product offering from General Electric was originally designed and produced specifically for placement in the Mark IV Turbine Control System Series, as described above. The Mark IV Series that this DS3800DMPC1E1C PCB belongs to has to be identified as a now-obsolete legacy product series from General Electric, given the fact that it was discontinued due to a manufacturer-identified full-series functional obsolescence at some point within the many years beyond its initial GE product series rollout. The Mark IV Series that this DS3800DMPC1E1C printed circuit board or PCB for short belongs to is still identifiable as a highly-desirable GE Mark product series though, as it is one of the final-released General Electric Mark product series to make use of the patented Speedtronic control system technology first seen with the initial rollout of the Mark I Turbine Control System Series in the mid to later 1960s. This DS3800DMPC1E1C product's greater Mark IV Turbine Control System Series has a rather predictable set of applications based on its full extended series name, within the control and management systems of General Electric-compatible gas and steam turbine automated assemblies.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
The GE Microprocessor Board DS3800DMPC1E1C features 1 programmable timer module (TPM). The GE Microprocessor Board DS3800DMPC1E1C also is populated with 1 34-pin ribbon cable, 1 50-pin ribbon cable, and 3 jumpers. The programmable timer module supplies the processing functions to control the board. Erasable programmable read-only memory (EPROM) modules supply the firmware and programming code that control the TPM. The EPROM modules are connected to the board through sockets that are embedded on the board. You can remove the modules, if necessary. Insert a flat-blade screwdriver into the space between the EPROM module and the socket. Then, insert the blade into the other end of the module. You can gently pry the module off but you must immediately place the module in a static sensitive bag. This is because the module is sensitive to static and can be damaged easily.
If a new version of firmware or other code is available, you can erase the code from the module and replace it. The download can be performed on a laptop that is connected to the drive through a serial cable. The control panel contains a user interface that gives you access to a command to start a download through the serial cable. When complete a message displays informing you that it is successfully completed. If the download is not successful, make sure the serial cable is fully connected to the laptop and the drive. The capacitors on the board have IDs that are prefixed with C. Following the prefix is a numerical value. C1, C6, and C11 are some samples of capacitor IDs. The Mark IV Turbine Control System Series that this DS3800DMPC1E1C printed circuit board product offering belongs to has to be described as a now-obsolete legacy General Electric product series, given the fact that it was originally discontinued as discussed before. With this being the case, it is not surrounded by any great quantity of originally-developed instructional manual materials, and the DS3800DMPC1E1C functional product number itself can de determined a fine source of DS3800DMPC1E1C Board hardware component and component specification information, as it codes for various DS3800DMPC1E1C Board details through a series of General Electric-formulated functional naming segments. For instance, the DS3800DMPC1E1C functional product number starts off with the dual-functional DS3800 series tag delegating this DS3800DMPC1E1C PCB's domestic original manufacture location as well as its normal Mark IV Series assembly. The other relevant hardware specifications for this DS3800DMPC1E1C product revealed in this manner include its:
- DMPC functional product abbreviation
- Group one Mark IV Series product grouping
