Product Description
This DS200DMCBG2A printed circuit board product offering was originally designed and manufactured by General Electric, for use in their Mark V Turbine Control System Series. As you could have probably guessed from its full extended series name, the Mark V Series that this DS200DMCBG2A printed circuit board belongs to has specific applications in the control and management systems of popular wind, gas, and steam turbine automated drive assemblies. The Mark V Turbine Control System Series of this DS200DMCBG2A Board is considered a legacy series given its eventual manufacturing discontinuation, although it also exists as one of the final General Electric Mark product series to incorporate their patented Speedtronic control system technology. This DS200DMCBG2A product offering is functionally-definable as a DOS DUP Processor Board within its greater Mark V Series, although the originally-developed product of that functionality is actually the DS200DMCBG2 parent DOS DUP Processor Board missing this DS200DMCBG2A product's A-rated functional product revision.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
As with any printed circuit board offered in the Mark V Turbine Control System Series; this DS200DMCBG2A PCB possesses its own set of functionality-introducing hardware components and component specifications. The GE DOS DUP Processor Board DS200DMCBG2A contains three 26-pin connectors, one 40-pin connector, and 19 jumpers. The board also has 2 LEDs and two fuses. If you find that the GE DOS DUP Processor Board DS200DMCBG2A is not functioning properly there are multiple actions you can take to identify the problem. One is to run the diagnostic tools supplied by the drive. The diagnostic tool is available from the drive control panel. The control panel has a menu of activities you can perform and one is to run the diagnostics. Another is to edit the configuration file to change the behavior of the drive. You can select to display the results of the diagnostic tool on the display or download the file to a laptop through the serial connector on the drive. With the diagnostic file downloaded on the laptop, you can scroll through the results and save the file for future use. For example, you can compare the diagnostic results to the results obtained after you have resolved the issue. Another source of diagnostic information is the two LEDs on the board. When activity is occurring on the board, the LEDs flash to indicate that normal operations are taking place. If the LEDs are not flashing it indicates that processing is not occurring and that a problem might exist. In that case, check the fuses on the board and verify that all circuits are working. If the fuses are blown, replace them with a fuse with the same rating.
While the various diagnostic offerings available to this DS200DMCBG2A DOS DUP Processor Board are certainly important to understand, the inclusion of this specific information here is more reminiscent on its un-proportionate inclusion in original DS200DMCBG2A Board manual materials, which are relatively scare given the legacy status of the Mark V. Given this DS200DMCBG2A PCB's noted scarcity of original instructional manual materials, the DS200DMCBG2A functional product number itself can be considered a good source of supplemental hardware information, beginning with its dual-functional DS200 series tag. The DS200 series tag at the beginning of the DS200DMCBG2A functional product number details this DS200DMCBG2A PCB's normal style of Mark V Series assembly as well as its domestic location of original manufacture. Some of the other relevant DS200DMCBG2A board hardware details revealed in functional chunks of the DS200DMCBG2A product number include this DS200DMCBG2A PCB's DMCB functional product acronym, its normal style of PCB surface coating, its group 2 Mark V Series product grouping, and finally its singular, A-rated functional product revision. Before making any final purchase decision on this DS200DMCBG2A PCB, it is important to realize that its originally-introduced performance specifications and dimensions have almost certainly been impacted by its possession of this A-rated product revision.
