About the DS3800HMPG
This DS3800HMPG printed circuit board product offering from General Electric was originally designed and manufactured specifically for their Mark IV Turbine Control System Series, as was explained just above in our brief product description. The Mark IV Series that this DS3800HMPG printed circuit board or PCB for short belongs to is something of os a self-described General Electric Mark Series Suite product series, given the fact that it exists with a series of specific applications within the control and management systems of General Electric-compatible gas and steam turbine automated drive assemblies. The Mark IV Turbine Control System Series that contains this DS3800HMPG product offering has to be considered an obsolete GE Mark product series generally; given the fact that its original manufacture was discontinued due to a manufacturer-identified and series-encompassing functional product obsolescence. With this being true, the Mark IV Series that this DS3800HMPG device belongs to is still seen as a rather attractive product series offering on its greater automated industrial marketplace, as it is one of the final-developed Mark product series to utilize the patented Speedtronic control system technology first seen with the release of the Mark I Series in the mid to later 1960s.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
The GE Network Controller Board DS3800HMPG is designed for quick installation in the drive. The board features a modular connector on 1 end and retention levers on the other end. The GE Network Controller Board DS3800HMPG also is populated with 2 red indicator LEDs and 1 amber LED which are visible from the front of the board. The board also is populated with a microprocessor, erasable programmable read-only memory (EPROM) modules, and a 34-pin connector. While normally functional definable as a Network Controller Board, this DS3800HMPG printed circuit board product offering is additionally sometimes referred to in fringe General Electric Mark IV Series instructional manual materials as a CPU or Central Processing Unit Board. The GE Network Controller Board DS3800HMPG is populated with 4 standoffs that enable a daughter card to be attached. A daughter card provides additional functionality to the board. The daughter card snaps onto the standoffs and a connector attaches the daughter card to the board.
The microprocessor embedded on the board provides the logic used to control the board operations. The microprocessor generates heat during operation so keeping the drive from overheating requires some consideration. Cool air must be available to the drive for cooling. This is a challenge because often the drive is located in a room with other drives and other powerful equipment. When you inspect the space notice if the wall on which the drive will be installed in hot to the touch. If it is hot, the cause might be that the space on the other side of the wall is hot or equipment installed on the wall is generating heat. To cool the wall, you can reduce the number of drives installed in the room. You can also select a wall that is cooler to the touch for installation of the drive. While this DS3800HMPG printed circuit board's various installation and replacement procedures are certainly important to consider before making a purchase, their placement on this DS3800HMPG personalized product page here is more reminiscent of this DS3800HMPG device's lack of originally-printed instructional manual materials available online. With this lack existing, the DS3800HMPG functional product number stands to serve as a primary source of DS3800HMPG Board hardware component and component specification information; coding for relevant DS3800HMPG Board details through a series of consecutive functional naming elements. For instance, the DS3800HMPG functional product number begins with the dual-functional DS3800 series tag delegating this DS3800HMPG PCB's normal Mark IV Series assembly version on top of its domestic location of original manufacture. Some of the other relevant hardware details in the DS3800HMPG functional product number include this DS3800HMPG device's HMPG functional product acronym.
