Product Description
This DS200CDBAG1A printed circuit board product offering was, as mentioned above, originally manufactured by the trusted automated industrial manufacturer General Electric, specifically for placement in their now-obsolete Mark V Turbine Control System Series specifically as a Contactor Driver Board. This DS200CDBAG1A product offering's greater Mark V Series is considered obsolete as it has been discontinued for manufacture in the many years following its initial production, and exists as a legacy GE product series. With this being the case, this DS200CDBAG1A product offering's greater Mark V Series can still be considered a relatively well-supported grouping of GE products, given its possession of the final iterance of the Speedtronic control system technology. This DS200CDBAG1A Contactor Driver Board is not the original product of its intended Mark V Series functionality; that would be the DS200CDBAG1 parent printed circuit board missing this DS200CDBAG1A PCB's A-rated functional product revision.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
The GE Contactor Driver Board DS200CDBAG1A opens and closes a contactor within the greater Mark V Turbine Control System Series automated drive assembly in which it was manufactured for. One jumper is located on the board that is reserved for use by the factory during manufacturing. It is used for testing. It is a 3-pin jumper and pins 1 and 2 should remain covered. Do not attempt to change the position of the jumper. This DS200CDBAG1A printed circuit board product offering from General Electric benefits from its normal Mark V Series assembly's inclusion of numerous test points indicating various DS200CDBAG1A Board fault condition statuses. This DS200CDBAG1A Contactor Driver Board has three of these test points in its assembly, including the:
- TP1 ACOMA CDBA Board Common Reference Point
- TP2 P15A CDBA Board +15 V dc (± 20%) ACOMA Power Supply Referencr Point
- TP3 REFA CDBA Board Contactor Driver Voltage Reference Point
Each of the above-listed test points in the assembly of this DS200CDBAG1A Mark V Series product offering has been named through a combination of their test point number, factory-printed nomenclature label, their intended Mark V Series product application, and finally their specific functionality. Consider that the GE Contactor Driver Board DS200CDBAG1A is revised periodically to improve the components, reliability, and operation of the device. However, compatibility between all revisions is assured. For example, you can purchase the latest version of the board and install it in your drive and it will be compatible with the older version you have removed. If the need arises to replace the board, installation is easy and quick. This is due to the design of the drive which provides easy access to the board. For safety reasons and to protect all components, you must remove power to the drive. Wait several minute for all electrical power to be removed. Then test any circuits to make sure all power is removed before touching them with your hands. Open the cabinet door of the drive where the damaged board is located. You might find that there are multiple wires connected to the damaged board. Before you remove them label any that do not have labels to make installation easier. Connector 1TB features a 2-part connector. Use a screwdriver to separate the two sections and disconnect the connectors from the board.
