About the DS200DCVAG2A
The DC Power and Instrument Board DS200DCVAG2A is part of the Mark V Series produced by General Electric. The Mark V Series that this DS200DCVAG2A product offering belongs to is definable as one of the final General Electric Mark product series to make use of the retailer's patented Speedtronic control system technology first introduced alongside the rollout of the Mark I Series in the late 1960s. While a relatively-new product series in terms of its Speedtronic technology possession, this DS200DCVAG2A printed circuit board or PCB for short's greater Mark V Turbine Control System Series is additionally definable as a now-obsolete legacy product series due to its eventual manufacturing discontinuation in the many years following its initial release. This DS200DCVAG2A DC Power and Instrumentation Board is reinforced for its intended functional Mark V Series role through its assembly's adoption of a singular A-rated functional product revision.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
As with any Mark V Series product, this DS200DCVAG2A PCB makes use of its own series of functionality-inducing hardware components and component specifications. This board is primarily used with turbine control systems, these systems have the capability to be fully programmed. This board has online maintenance, built-in diagnostics, and a common hardware platform that allows for this board to be used with steam and gas applications. The built-in diagnostics for this board include background, power-up, and manually initiated diagnostic routines. All of the routines of this board have the ability to identify sensor, output device, and control panel faults. The DS200DCVAG2A board also has inputs and outputs which are designed for direct interfacing with the following generator and turbine devices, some of these devices are thermocouples, servos, and LVDT/Rs, as well as magnetic speed pickups. All of the contact inputs on this board are optically isolated and will receive a time stamp within one millisecond of a status change within the system. There are internally powered outputs which are also known as solenoid outputs.
There are several ungrounded thermocouple types on the DS200DCVAG2A board, each thermocouple has an RTD type, for example, the K thermocouple is an RTD of 120 Ω nickel. The thermocouples and RTDs are used with linearization for various sensor types. All information regarding this board can be found in the GEI-100460 Speedtronic Mark V Product Description Manual. There are other General Electric publications and manuals that can also be used when operating the DCVA board in a Mark V System. While this DS200DCVAG2A product offering's original instructional documentation may be difficult to obtain as a function of its legacy series product status, it benefits uniquely from its possession of a DS200DCVAG2A functional product number, developed by GE to highlight some of this DS200DCVAG2A device's more-basic hardware component inclusions and specifications. Some of the DS200DCVAG2A board hardware information revealed through use of the DS200DCVAG2A functional product number includes this DS200DCVAG2A PCB's:
- Normal Mark V Series assembly version
- Domestic original manufacture location
- DCVA functional product abbreviation
- Normal PCB coating style
- Group 2 Mark V Series product grouping
- A-rated functional product revision
