About the DS200DMCBG1AED
This DS200DMCBG1AED printed circuit board product offering from General Electric was originally designed and manufactured for the Mark V Turbine Control System Series, as dictated in its originally-released instructional manual materials. These instructional materials may be somewhat difficult to source online, given the fact that they are obscured by the Mark V Series' legacy status as encouraged by the eventual manufacturing discontinuation that took place in one of the many year past its original Mark Series release. This DS200DMCBG1AED PCB's greater Mark V Series, as indicated by the above-attached full extended series name, has a series of applications in the control and management systems of popular and compatible wind, steam, and gas turbine automated drive assemblies, and is considered something of a highly-desired product series on the general automated industrial marketplace, as it exists as one of the lastly-developed GE Mark product series to incorporate the patented Speedtronic control system technology across a range of devices. The Speedtronic control system technology seen in this DS200DMCBG1AED PCB's Mark V Series was originally seen with the release of the Mark I Series in the late 1960s.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
The GE DOS DUP Processor Board DS200DMCBG1AED contains three 26-pin connectors, one 40-pin connector, and 19 jumpers. The board also has 2 LEDs. The GE DOS DUP Processor Board DS200DMCBG1AED is also populated with two fuses which provide protection from an over-voltage condition. If a momentary surge occurs in the power supply to the board, the element in the fuse is blown and the board stops functioning, either entirely or in the circuit protected by the fuse. Damage will occur to the components on the board if the fuse is the wrong rating. For that reason, if you replace the fuse, only use a replacement that is the same rating. Information about the fuse is provided in the information that came with the original board from the factory. Alternatively, you might find the rating printed on the fuse. Generally, this DS200DMCBG1AED PCB's fuses are considered part of a larger voltage protection strategy involving various styles of Mark V Series-standardized voltage-limiting hardware components including but not limited to various styles of Mark V Series transistors, resistors, diodes, and finally the recognizable blue-colored drum-style electrolytic capacitors. This DS200DMCBG1AED PCB is not the originally-developed product of its specific Mark V Series functionality; that would actually be the parent DS200DMCBG1 DOS DUP Processor Board not making use of this DS200DMCBG1AED PCB's three significant product revisions. While this DS200DMCBG1AED product offering is considered to belong to the very first grouping of Mark V Turbine Control System Series products, this classification's true significance must be characterized as unknown given the lack of this DS200DMCBG1AED board's specifically-pertinent instructional manual materials online due to its functional whole-series obsolescence.
Checking the condition of the fuses is a quick initial step in troubleshooting the board because it only requires a visual inspection. If you suspect the board is not performing as expected, you can open the board cabinet door and locate the fuses on the board. If one or both fuses are blown, disconnect all power to the drive, remove the board, and replace the fuses. Restart the drive and determine if the board is restored to normal operation. If the problem remains, the next step is to view the 2 LEDs on the board. The LEDs are identified as CR2 and CR12 on the board and they are red when lit. Given this DS200DMCBG1AED PCB's attribution to the now-obsolete Mark V Turbine Control System Legacy Series, it should come as no surprise to find out that it is not considered by any great plethora of originally-printed instructional manual materials online. With this being true, the DS200DMCBG1AED functional product number itself can be considered a primary source of DS200DMCBG1AED Board information; coding for various details in a series of consecutive functional naming segments. For instance, the DS200DMCBG1AED functional product number starts off with the dual-functional DS200 series tag delegating this DS200DMCBG1AED PCB's normal Mark V Series assembly as well as its domestic original manufacture location. Some of the other relevant hardware details revealed through this PCB's DS200DMCBG1AED functional product number include its:
- DMCB functional product acronym
- Group one Mark V Series product grouping
- Three-fold revision table
