Product Description
The DS200DMCAG1AEA is a General Electric Interface board that was originally manufactured for use within the company’s Speedtronic systems like the Mark IV. The Mark IV was the first of these systems to offer TMR (triple modular redundant) control that reduced downtime caused by equipment issues, before being quickly followed by the optimized Mark V Series, of which this DS200DMCAG1AEA Interface Board is a member. The DS200DMCAG1AEA is no longer manufactured by GE but is available for sale from AX Control as either a new-used liquidated part or as a refurbished used unit.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
The DS200DMCAG1AEA includes over fifty ICs ( integrated circuits), including those on the surface of the small auxiliary board attached to the bottom right of the DS200DMCAG1AEA. ICs include several FPGAs (field programmable gate arrays) and oscillating chips. The DS200DMCAG1AEA unit's assembly also has two heat sinks, an inductor coil, and multiple high-voltage electrolytic capacitors. Other capacitors present in the assembly of this DMCA-abbreviated Interface Board are made from polyester vinyl and ceramic material. Board resistors tend to be made from metal film. The DS200DMCAG1AEA has fifteen resistor network arrays in total. Connections from the DS200DMCAG1AEA Interface Board to other boards or off-board components are made via three vertical pin header connectors, a single female cable connector, four male vertical pin cable connectors, and several stab-on connectors. The board can be user-configured via multiple jumper switches, and is protected by two fuse components mounted in fuse holders. Finally, this DS200DMCAG1AEA Interface Board also has a single reset switch and several LED indicators. All of these aforementioned hardware components should receive at least a rudimentary level of protection from the normal style of PCB coating utilized by this General Electric printed circuit board, which exists as a thick basic layer of protection that prioritizes central hardware components to the normative function of this Mark V Series product.
