About the DS3800DMPK1D1B
This DS3800DMPK1D1B printed circuit board or PCB for short product from General Electric was originally designed and produced specifically with the trusted automated industrial seller's Mark IV Turbine Control System Series. This DS3800DMPK1D1B product's greater Mark IV Series, as you can probably tell based off of its full extended series name, has a set of specific applications in the management or control systems of General Electric-accepting gas and steam turbine automated drive assemblies. The Mark IV Series that this particular DS3800DMPK1D1B printed circuit board belongs to must be considered obsolete as a whole, purely given the fact that it is one of General Electric's final-developed Mark product series to make use of the patented Speedtronic control system technology first seen alongside the initial rollout of the Mark I Series in the mid to later 1960s.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
The GE General Regulator Board DS3800DMPK1D1B features 14 erasable programmable read-only memory (EPROM) modules. The GE General Regulator Board DS3800DMPK1D1B also is populated with 2 34-pin ribbon cables, 2 single-pin connectors, and 17 jumpers. The EPROM modules contain the configuration parameters that control the operation of the drive. When the drive comes from the factory a basic set of parameters are provided. The initial instructions can be edited to create the configuration parameters you want to apply to the drive. There are 2 ways to edit the parameters. One method is using the control panel on the drive. It is typically used by the operator for making small edits to the configuration. The 2-line display only displays a small portion of the parameters and so makes navigation difficult. Also the keys on the keypad allow limited function. This specific DS3800DMPK1D1B product offering is actually not considered the originally-produced device of its specific Mark IV Series functional role, as that actually exists as the DS3800DMPK1 parent Regulator Board notably not incorporating any of this DS3800DMPK1D1B product's unique revision table.
To create a large or complicated set of parameters, use a laptop that has on it a full-featured editing application. The editing program is available for download. Obtain a serial cable and connect it from the drive to the rear serial connector on the laptop. Make sure it fits the connector on both ends. The control panel is a menu-driven user interface that gives you access to initiate a download function. It will download the configuration to the laptop and when completed successfully it will display a message on the control panel display. The editing program features the ability to search for terms, copy, delete, and paste commands and text. Once complete, you can upload the parameters to the drive. Given the fact that this DS3800DMPK1D1B product belongs to a General Electric product series that is not currently in active production by GE as a legacy product series, the DS3800DMPK1D1B functional product number itself can be considered a decently-strong source of DS3800DMPK1D1B Board hardware component and component specification information; coding for relevant details through its GE-formulated series of functional naming components. For starters, the DS3800DMPK1D1B functional product number begins with the dual-functional DS3800 series tag indirectly detailing this DS3800DMPK1D1B product's special Mark IV Series assembly version on top of its domestic origin of manufacture. Some of the other relevant hardware details made obvious through this part number include the DS3800DMPK1D1B Module's DMPK functional product acronym as well as its unique revision table. This DS3800DMPK1D1B product consists of a base printed circuit board that makes use of four unique screw standoffs with one standoff positioned on each DS3800DMPK1D1B Board corner. This DS3800DMPK1D1B product's addition of screw standoffs as well as its lack of a characteristic metal mounting faceplate seem to point to this DS3800DMPK1D1B product's lack of insertion in the standard Mark IV Series' VME Rack Installation Assembly.
