Product Description
The DS200AAHAG1ADC Mark V printed circuit board functions as an ARCNET connection PCB. The unit was originally designed as part of the LM series, which is part of the Mark V Speedtronic series from General Electric. This series has been used for many years for the control and management of industrial turbine systems. This DS200AAHAG1ADC printed circuit board or PCB for short's greater Mark V Turbine Control System Series is one of the final General Electric product series to make use of their patented Speedtronic control system technology, although it is additionally considered a legacy product series due to its eventual manufacturing discontinuation in the many years following its initial release. This DS200AAHAG1ADC PCB is not the original printed circuit board product of its functionality developed for placement in GE's Mark V Series; that would be the DS200AAHAG1 parent ARCNET Connection Board missing all three of this DS200AAHAG1ADC device's three significant product revisions.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
The DS200AAHAG1ADC allows for interfacing between externally placed modules or I/O cores with the <R> Control Engine. The board is used to interface these units with ARCNET communications protocols. This board is used in conjunction with a UCPB board that contains a 486DX processor/CPU and a UCIA motherboard that contains a 196 processor chip. This chip is used to translate pressure transducer signals. Unfortunately, no Berg-type manually-moveable hardware jumper or other piece of customizable hardware has been inserted in the internal assembly of this DS200AAHAG1ADC product offering. This DS200AAHAG1ADC printed circuit board or PCB for short benefits from its possession of a DS200AAHAG1ADC functional product number, which identifies many crucial hardware specifications including this DS200AAHAG1ADC PCB's:
- Normal Mark V Series assembly type
- Domestic original manufacture location
- AAHA functional product abbreviation
- Normal PCB coating style
- Group one Mark V Series product grouping
- A-rated primary functional revision
- D-rated secondary functional revision
- C-rated artwork configuration revision
The DS200AAHAG1ADC includes multiple BNC connectors. These are used to download files to the Control Engine, typically occurring at a rate of 100 Hz or 10 ms. The board, common abbreviated to AAHA, includes other connectors as well. The AAHA includes an APL ArcNet communication link and a 2PL connector that is used to distribute power from the TCPS board in the <R> core. Other connectors on the board like the EPL and EBNC are usually left unused. The board is marked with several factory-printed nomenclature labels, beginning with the General Electric logo. It also includes its ID marking and codes that will help the user with positioning and wiring. Most of the board’s components are marked with reference designations. The DS200AAHAG1ADC board’s two relays include relay diagrams directly on top of them and clearly visible to the installing or troubleshooting engineer or technician. More information about the DS200AAHAG1ADC board can be sourced from original GE manuals and user guides such as the GEH-6353B.
