Product Description
This DS200DTBBG1ABB printed circuit board modular product was originally manufactured by General Electric, for use in their Mark V Turbine Control System Series. This DS200DTBBG1ABB PCB's greater Mark V Series, as you have surely been able to tell by its name, has specific applications in the control and management systems of popular wind, steam, and gas turbine automated drive assemblies, and is considered a General Electric legacy series due to its eventual manufacturing in the years following its initial release. While the Mark V Series that this DS200DTBBG1ABB product offering belongs to is considered a legacy series, it also exists as one of the final General Electric product series to make use of their patented Speedtronic control system technology, which was first introduced alongside the rollout of the Mark I in the late 1960s. This DS200DTBBG1ABB printed circuit board is truly better-definable as a Contact Input Expansion Termination Module, although the originally-developed product of that functionality is the DS200DTBBG1 parent printed circuit board missing all three of this DS200DTBBG1ABB product's three significant revisions.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
The GE Terminal Digital Connector Board DS200DTBBGIABB features 2 terminal blocks with terminals for 95 signal wires in each. It also contains 3 50-pin connectors. The IDs for the 40-pin connectors are JFF, JFG, and JFH. It also is populated with bayonet connectors and 5 jumpers. Some of the more general Mark V Series-standardized hardware components in this DS200DTBBG1ABB product offering's assembly have been included for various voltage limitation purposes; including standard rectifiers, diodes, capacitors, and integrated circuits. The DS200DTBBG1ABB Contact Input Expansion Termination Module is 3 inches in height and 11.5 inches in length. It has 1 hole in each corner for the installer to attach the board to the board rack in the interior of the drive. The DS200DTBBG1ABB functional product number itself can be considered a good source of relevant DS200DTBBG1ABB printed circuit board information, beginning with the dual-functional DS200 series tag that starts it off. The DS200 series tag at the beginning of the DS200DTBBG1ABB functional product number delegates this DS200DTBBG1ABB PCB's status as a domestically-manufactured board with a normal Mark V Series assembly type. Some of the other relevant hardware details revealed in the DS200DTBBG1ABB functional product number include this DS200DTBBG1ABB Contact Input Expansion Termination Module's:
- DTBB functional product acronym
- Normal style of PCB coating
- Group one Mark V Series product grouping
- A-rated primary functional revision
- B-rated secondary functional revision
- B-rated artwork configuration revision
The Mark V Series drive has multiple positions that can accept the installation of the DS200DTBBG1ABB board. However, it is best practice to install the board in the same position as the old board it is replacing. This is because of the large number of signal wires and ribbon cables attached to it. Cable routing is very important. If the cables are not routed properly interference can result and also the cooling of the drive interior can be negatively affected. The drive interior has many power cables and signal wires and ribbon cables. The power cables if routed too near the signal wires can interfere with the signals. This might result in inaccurate signals being transmitted and received by the board. The solution is to route the power cables as far as possible from the signal wires. The other problem that can result from improper cable routing is reduced air flow within the drive. This can occur if bundles of cables block the flow of air in front of air vents or around components that generate heat.
