About the DS3800HSAA1U1N
This DS3800HSAA1U1N modular assembly product offering from General Electric was originally designed and produced with the Mark IV Turbine Control System Series in mind. The Mark IV Series that this DS3800HSAA1U1N product belongs to is rather self-explanatory, at least based off of its full extended series name, as the Mark IV Series has a set selection of intended functional applications in gas and steam turbine management system automated drive assemblies. With this being the case, this DS3800HSAA1U1N device's greater Mark IV Turbine Control System Series is seen as as separately attractive product series outside of that fact given the truth that it is one of General Electric's lastly-developed Mark product series to even make use of the patented Speedtronic control system technology; a technology first adopted alongside the initial release of GE's Mark I Series in the mid to later 1960s. This DS3800HSAA1U1N device has likely been edited from its base-revised performance specifications and dimensions through use of a product revision, although the eccentric DS3800HSAA1U1N functional product number means this his unconfirmed as fact.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
The GE Dom Plus Servo Amp Board DS3800HSAA1U1N features a modular connector on 1 end and retention levers on the other end. The board is populated with a heat sink. The analog/digital converter is a component embedded on the board. The GE Dom Plus Servo Amp Board DS3800HSAA1U1N is also populated with 1 34-pin connector and 1 socket for electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM) modules. The board is also populated with 3 trimmer resistors. These resistors are part of a broader voltage suppression and limitation strategy afforded to this DS3800HSAA1U1N product that involves its special modular assembly's acceptance of a specific series of voltage-limiting hardware components and component specifications including but not limited to differing styles of Mark IV Series capacitors, resistors, diodes, integrated circuits, and finally this DS3800HSAA1U1N device's specific PCB coating style, which unfortunately goes unknown due to the special style of this DS3800HSAA1U1N device's functional product number. It additionally appears as if this DS3800HSAA1U1N modular product assembly has been fitted with a metal front faceplate for basic installation purposes, which additionally serves to indicate this DS3800HSAA1U1N device's likely placement in the Mark IV Series VME Rack Mounting Assembly.
The EEPROM socket on the GE Dom Plus Servo Amp Board DS3800HSAA1U1N is empty when a replacement board is shipped to the site. It is an option to install the module with existing firmware and programming code stored on the module. This will cause the replacement board to process information the same as the defective board. However, if you experience problems with the board that you believe are caused by firmware errors, you have the option of not using the same firmware and programming code. Instead you can use the latest version of the code. The firmware and code are updated during the life of the board. When code errors are reported, the fixes are included in the code. New features are added to the code as well as other improvements. You can erase the code stored on the module and load the latest code. This might resolve issues you are having related to the code. Before you install the replacement board adjust the trimmer resistors to match the settings found on the original board. Use a full featured tester to adjust the resistors exactly to the settings of the original board.
