About the DS3800NOCB1B1B
The DS3800NOCB1B1B printed circuit board functions as an overcurrent board in General Electric’s Mark IV turbine control system. The MKIV was one of several industrial steam and gas turbine management systems marketed by GE under the Speedtronic name, as you have more than likely been able to tell based off of its full extended series name alone. The Mark IV Series's specific intended functional applications had not yet been extended to alternative energy-geared wind turbine control and management systems, as that would be soon to come with the advent of the Mark VI Turbine Control System Series later on. With this being the case, this is not all too much of a surprise given the fact that the Mark IV Series exists as a now-obsolete legacy General Electric product series that was discontinued for production due to a manufacturer-discovered functional series-wide obsolescence in one of the many years beyond its initial General Electric Mark product series rollout. With this being true, this DS3800NOCB1B1B printed circuit board's greater Mark IV Series is still seen as a popular selection on the greater automated industrial marketplace, given its status as one of the lastly-developed GE Mark product series to make use of 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
This DS3800NOCB1B1B device had integrated chipsets and overlapping control responsibilities via its TMR (triple modular redundant) design. These significantly reduced downtime. The DS3800NOCB1B1B is built with a long backplane connector on one side of the board. On the other side, there are four factory-drilled holes. Two of these have been used for extractor clips. These clips are used for the insertion and removal of the board and help installers by creating a pivot-point that will help drive the board out of a tight location. During installation, they give operators a place to hold on to as the board is getting inserted into a rack system. Given this DS3800NOCB1B1B printed circuit board product offering's previously-described Mark IV Turbine Control System Series' status as a now-obsolete legacy product series, this DS3800NOCB1B1B device in particular is not surrounded online by any great wealth of originally-designed instructional manual materials. With this being the case, the DS3800NOCB1B1B functional product number itself can be identified as a primary source of DS3800NOCB1B1B Board hardware component and component specification information, as it codes for various relevant DS3800NOCB1B1B Board hardware details in a series of consecutive functional naming segments. For instance, the DS3800NOCB1B1B functional product number begins with the dual-functional DS3800 series tag indirectly delegating this DS3800NOCB1B1B product's normal Mark IV Series assembly on top of its domestic original manufacture location. Some of the other relevant hardware specifications in this product number include the DS3800NOCB1B1B Board's:
- NOCB functional product acronym
- Group one Mark IV Series product grouping
The DS3800NOCB1B1B is populated by a number of other components including toggle switches, transistors, LEDs (both red and amber), TP test points, and integrated circuits like dual operational amplifiers and hex inverter gates. While resistors tend toward being ceramic-covered metal film, carbon composite resistors are also used. Some metalized polycarbonate capacitors on the board have been hermetically sealed. Original technical support for the DS3800NOCB1B1B PCB was provided through OEM publications like GE manuals, data sheets, and product guides. These products will still provide the best and most complete information regarding the installation, maintenance, and handling of this board. Please read through and refer often to these documents as you are installing this equipment. Any resistor, capacitor, diode, transistor, or integrated circuit in the normal Mark iV Series assembly of this DS3800NOCB1B1B product is part of a broader series-standardized selection of voltage-limiting hardware components specifically catered to the Mark IV automated drive assembly's needs.
