About the DS200CTBAG1A
The DS200CTBAG1A is a Analog Termination Board (CTBA) used in SPEEDTRONIC Mark V LM Turbine Control systems. Information about this card can be found in the Functional Manual, Winsys Edition GEH-6153. This DS200CTBAG1A printed circuit board product offering's greater Mark V Series, as you can probably tell by its name, has specific applications in the management and control systems of wind, steam, and gas turbine automated drive assemblies, and is additionally one of the final General Electric Mark product series to make use of the company's patented style of Speedtronic control system technology. While one of the more recently-developed General Electric Mark product lines with Speedtronic technology, the Mark V Turbine Control System Series that this DS200CTBAG1A PCB belongs to is considered a General Electric legacy series due to its eventual discontinuation by the retailer in the years following its initial release. While this DS200CTBAG1A printed circuit board is certainly definable as a Termination Module or Analog Termination Board, it is not the original product of its functionality to exist within the Mark V Series; that would be the DS200CTBAG1 parent Termination Module missing this DS200CTBAG1A product's A-rated functional product revision.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
The DS200CTBAG1A is a printed circuit board that is a part of the GE Speedtronic MKV Gas turbine control system. It is meant to be a termination board for the system’s common data processor. This card is located within the C core of the system. Its main terminal signals are Ma. Input, Ma. Output, communication link to IONET, and communication link to ARCNET processor. There is an RS-232 9-pin d-shell connection serial port on the card that will allow for TIMN diagnostics. There are two factory drilled holes on each of the short ends of the card that are used for mounting it into place. There is also a total of 23 red varistors on the board and seven diodes. There are also a number of resistors in this DS200CTBAG1A PCB's assembly; these resistors, similarly to this DS200CTBAG1A PCB's capacitors and diodes, have been placed in the assembly of this DS200CTBAG1A product offering to offer basic residual voltage limitation and suppression. This DS200CTBAG1A's role as a Termination Module or Analog Termination Board necessiates the inclusion of many Mark V Series connectors in its assembly. Some of these connectors include:
- The 8PL STCA Board IONET Signal Connector
- The JAA TCCA Board Output Signals Connector
- The JAI COREBUS Connector
- The JAJ COREBUS Connector
- The JBB TCCA Board Shaft Voltage and Current Signals Connector
- The JEE STCA Board COREBUS Connector
- The JPD TCPD Board Power Signal Connector
- The JX TCDA Board IONET Signals Connector
- The 6PL Connector
All of the various connectors available to the assembly of this DS200CTBAG1A Termination Module have been named through a combination of their factory-printed nomenclature labels, specific applications to the DS200CTBAG1A Module, and interfacing potentials with other Mark V Series component printed circuit boards. The 6PL Connector made available to this DS200CTBAG1A Termination Module or Analog Termination Board has not been named as such given the fact that it exists as a vestigial structure, typically going unused during normative functionality of the DS200CTBAG1A Termination Module. In addition to the various connectors included in this DS200CTBAG1A product offering's assembly, this DS200CTBAG1A PCB makes use of several manually-moveable hardware jumpers for customization purposes. The jumpers labeled BJ1-BJ14 aid this DS200CTBAG1A PCB by connecting the NEG input of its respective mA inputs to the DCOM. The BJ15-labeled hardware jumper available with this product offering crucially connects the RS232 Monitor Port to this mentioned DCOM. Before making any final purchase decision on this DS200CTBAG1A product offering, its is important to note that it has been edited from its originally-introduced performance specifications and dimensions through its possession of a singular A-rated functional product revision.
