Product Description
This DS200DMCBG1ABB printed circuit board from General Electric exists as a member of the trusted automated industrial retailer's Mark V Series of Turbine Control Systems and Turbine Control System Component Parts. The Mark V Series, while considered an obsolete or legacy product series due to its eventual discontinuation by GE, is one of the later Mark Series from General Electric that makes use of the retailer's signature Speedtronic technology style. This DS200DMCBG1ABB printed circuit board or PCB for short is better-definable by its official functional product description as a DOS DUP Processor Board, the original functional product description that appears in official factory-printed General Electric and Mark V Turbine Control System Series instructional manual materials. While this DS200DMCBG1ABB DOS DUP Processor Board may feature a normal style of Mark V Series assembly, it is not considered the original printed circuit board of its functionality to be created for the Mark V Series. The original DOS DUP Processor Board manufactured for use in the Mark V Series is the DS200DMCBG1 printed circuit board product offering missing this DS200DMCBG1ABB device's three significant product revisions.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
This DS200DMCBG1ABB DOS DUP Processor Board features a specific functionality to the greater Mark V Speedtronic Series, as explained above. Because of this, the internal assembly of this DMCB-abbreviated printed circuit board necessitates a series of specific hardware component inclusions and specifications. For starters, The GE DOS DUP Processor Board DS200DMCBG1ABB contains three 26-pin connectors, one 40-pin connector, and 19 jumpers. The DS200DMCBG1ABB board also has 2 LEDs for diagnostic testing and fault identification purposes. The GE DOS DUP Processor Board DS200DMCBG1ABB also is populated with one 8-pin connector, one 3-pin connector, and one 2-pin connector. Due to the multiple connectors in the assembly of the DS200DMCBG1ABB that might have cables connected to them, it is important that you document where the cables connect before you disconnect them from the board. You will find that it speeds up the installation of the replacement board and leads to fewer errors when you restart the drive.
When you disconnect the cables you must follow instructional manual-introduced guidelines that prevent damage to the cables. Always hold the connector portion of the DS200DMCBG1ABB PCB's cable to disconnect the cable from the board. If you pull the cable to disconnect it, the pressure on the connector might pull the wires from the connector. This is especially important for ribbon cables due to the multiple fine wires that make up the ribbon cable. With one hand, steady the board and with the other hand hold the connector portion of the cable. Then, gently pull the cable out of the connector.
The fuses in the assembly of this DS200DMCBG1ABB product also require special manual-led consideration when you plan to troubleshoot the board. If the board stops processing or a specific function seems to have stopped, a quick inspection of the board will indicate if one or both of the fuses are blown. Be sure to obtain a replacement fuse that is an exact match of the original fuse. Before making a final purchase decision on this DS200DMCBG1ABB printed circuit board, it is important to recognize that its originally-introduced performance specifications and dimensions have surely been altered through the addition of its three significant product revisions.
