About the DS3800HPLA1A1B
This DS3800HPLA1A1B printed circuit board product offering from General Electric was originally, as mentioned above, designed and manufactured for the specific functional placement of a Panel Interface Board within the company's greater Mark IV Turbine Control System Series. The Mark IV Series that this particular DS3800HPLA1A1B printed circuit board or PCB for short belongs to has to be considered a more limited product series than more recently-developed series including the Mark VI Series, as the Mark IV Series only has specific applications in the control and management systems of General Electric-adjusted gas and steam turbine automated drive assemblies, which is a noted downgrade upon the soon-to-come Mark VI Turbine Control System Series' more broadly-reaching gas, steam, and wind turbine possible product applications. The Mark IV Turbine Control System Series that this DS3800HPLA1A1B specific PCB belongs to has to be identified as a highly-desirable GE Mark product series despite its less wide-reaching potential product applications, as it is one of the final-developed GE Mark product series to make use of the trusted brand's patented Speedtronic control system technology across a broad selection of its offerings.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
The GE Panel Interface Board DS3800HPLA1A1B is designed for quick installation in the drive. The board features 1 hole in each corner. The board can be secured with screws. The board is populated with 1 40-pin connector embedded on the board.The GE Panel Interface Board DS3800HPLA1A1B daughter card also is populated with 3 red indicator LEDs. The board is also populated with 2 sockets for electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM) modules, 7 jumpers, and 2 trimmer resistors. As indicated by General Electric, this DS3800HPLA1A1B printed circuit board product offering may or may not exist as the originally-devised product of its specific Mark Series functional role, given the fact that it makes use of an atypical DS3800HPLA1A1B functional product number not certainly displaying this DS3800HPLA1A1B board's unique Mark IV Series product grouping or even its unique revision history in a concrete manner. Given the fact that the Mark IV Turbine Control System Series that this DS3800HPLA1A1B device belongs to is obsolete generally as a function of its legacy GE product series attribution, the DS3800HPLA1A1B functional product number can actually be identified as a decently-sufficient source of DS3800HPLA1A1B Board hardware component and component specification information. The DS3800HPLA1A1B functional product number, for example, begins with the dual-functional DS3800 series tag indirectly asserting this DS3800HPLA1A1B product's domestic original manufacture location as well as its normal Mark IV Series assembly version. Some of the other relevant hardware detail revealable through the DS3800HPLA1A1B functional product number include this HPLA-abbreviated PCB's HPLA functional product abbreviation.
The daughter card connected to the GE Panel Interface Board DS3800HPLA1A1B is populated with 3 red indicator LEDs. When the LEDs are off, it means that no activity is taking place on the board. This might happen if power is removed from the board or signals are not being received by the board. It could also mean signals are not being sent by the board. Check the ribbon cable connected to the 20-pin connector on the board. Remove power to the drive and disconnect the ribbon cable. Then, align the connector and carefully insert it into the connector. Restore power to the drive and check for processing activity indicated by the red indicator LEDs. If the indicator LEDs flash, it indicates that processing is taking place. Each LED indicates the activity taking place on 1 circuit. The LEDs are visible by the operator when the board is operational. When the board first receives power at startup, the LEDs lit to indicate that they are functional. After 3 seconds the LEDs turn off and standard processing starts.
