About the DS200CSSAG1A
This DS200CSSAG1A printed circuit board, as mentioned earlier, was created to exist as a member of General Electric's Mark V Turbine Control System Series. As you may have been able to guess from its full extended series name, the Mark V Series that this DS200CSSAG1A PCB exists as a member of has specific applications in the control and management systems of popular gas, steam, and wind turbine automated drive assemblies; existing as one of the final General Electric Mark product series developed using their patented Speedtronic control system technology. While the Mark V Turbine Control System Series that this DS200CSSAG1A product offering belongs to may exist with the newly-developed Speedtronic technology, it is still considered a General Electric legacy series due to its eventual manufacturing discontinuation in the years following its initial release. While this DS200CSSAG1A PCB is definable as a Cell State Sensor Board in its own right, the originally-developed product of that functionality to exist within the Mark V Series is the DS200CSSAG1 parent Cell State Sensor Board missing this DS200CSSAG1A product offering's A-rated functional product revision.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
This DS200CSSAG1A PCB attains its functional status as a Cell State Sensor Board thanks to the adoption of numerous functionality-introducing hardware components and component specifications. The GE Cell State Sensor Board DS200CSSAG1A contains two 40-pin connectors and is 4 inches in height and 11 inches in width. It also contains one 4-pin connector and one 9-pin connector. The internal assembly of this DS200CSSAG1A product offering makes use of numerous Mark V Series-standardized hardware components geared towards voltage limitation and suppression; ranging from this DS200CSSAG1A PCB's thick rudimentary printed circuit board coated protection to its inclusion of various rectifiers, diodes, and capacitors for voltage protection purposes. Given the fact that this DS200CSSAG1A Cell State Sensor Board is not well-documented in available Mark V Series instructional manual materials on the internet, the DS200CSSAG1A functional product number gains a new importance, detailing this DS200CSSAG1A Board's:
- Normal style of Mark V Series assembly
- CSSA functional product abbreviation
- Domestic location of original manufacture
- Normal PCB coating style
- Group one Mark V Series product grouping
- A-rated functional product revision
The replacement GE Cell State Sensor Board DS200CSSAG1A might be a newer version of the old board. You might notice that components are located in different locations on the board and the components might also look different after a visual inspection of the board. However despite the differences, when installed the replacement board will provide the same functionality as the old board and compatibility is assured between the old and new boards. The new DS200CSSAG1A board can also be installed in the same position in the board rack and the installation holes align with the matching holes in the rack. Use the same screws and washers from the old board to install the new board, if new hardware is not included with the replacement. It is important to use the washers with the screws because they ensure that the screws remain tight. The drive is subject to vibration during normal operation and so might otherwise cause the screws to loosen and fall out. Don’t use excessive force to drive the screws into place. The board is made of a material that is delicate and can easily crack or break. The washers also help protect the board from breakage during installation of the screws. Have a clear view of the installation so that the screwdriver doesn’t brush against or damage other components in the drive cabinet.
