About the DS200EXDEG1A
This DS200EXDEG1A printed circuit board from General Electric is an important part of their Mark V Series, as mentioned above. The Mark V from trusted industrial retailer General Electric is a series of circuit boards and internal automated drive system components that have been developed specifically as a system of turbine controls. This DS200EXDEG1A printed circuit board gained relevance within the Mark V Series given its intended functionality as a Mark V Series De-Excitation Control Board. This DS200EXDEG1A model of De-Excitation Control Board, however, is not the original product that General Electric released, as it modified the existing DS200EXDEG1 De-Excitation Control Board through use of a singular, A-rated functional product revision. The Mark V Turbine Control System Series that this DS200EXDEG1A device belongs to has to be considered an obsolete legacy product series, just given the fact that its manufacture was discontinued due to a retailer-identified functional series-wide obsolescence in one of the many years beyond its initial rollout. With this being true, this DS200EXDEG1A device's Mark V Series is still demanding a niche interest on its greater automated industrial marketplace, given its nature as one of the last-developed GE Mark product series featuring the patented Speedtronic control system technology in many offerings.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
As with any General Electric Mark V Series product, this DS200EXDEG1A De-Excitation Control Board makes use of an elevated number of hardware components to achieve its originally-intended functionality.The GE De-Excitation Control Board DS200EXDEG1A features 2 34-pin connectors, 2 10-pin connectors, and 5 indicator LEDs. It is also populated with 8 capacitors, test points, and terminal connectors. During normal processing the capacitors in the assembly of this Mark V Series product store high-voltage current and when signalled, a circuit on the board releases the high voltage. These same circuits again begin the process of storing high-voltage current. During normal operation the DS200EXDEG1A operator is unaware of the cycle and is not exposed to safety concerns because of the capacitors. The DS200EXDEG1A board has 5 OK LEDs that are visible to the operator, LEDs that light when the board passes all diagnostic checks performed at startup and remain on if no errors are encountered. This gives the operator a quick means of monitoring the status of the board during normal processing. The terminal connectors available in the internal assembly of this DS200EXDEG1A De-Excitation control board are used to connect jumper cables to achieve a particular processing outcome. The written documentation provides a description of the terminal connectors and the specific outcome that can be achieved by jumpering two terminal connectors together. The DS200EXDEG1A board's jumper cables have connectors that fit over their respective terminals.
Given the fact that this DS200EXDEG1A product belongs to a now-obsolete legacy product series from General Electric, it is not surrounded on the internet by any great pool of originally-pertinent instructional manual materials. With this being the truth, the DS200EXDEG1A functional product number itself can be considered a decently-strong source of DS200EXDEG1A Board hardware component and component specification details; coding for these through a series of consecutively-developed functional naming segments. For starters, this DS200EXDEG1A functional product number is started off through an instance of the dual-functional DS200 series tag that indirectly outlines this DS200EXDEG1A device's normal Mark V Series assembly version on top of its rather standard domestic original manufacture location. Some of the other relevant hardware features attributable to the DS200EXDEG1A De-Excitation Control Board based on the DS200EXDEG1A functional product number alone include this DS200EXDEG1A device's:
- EXDE functional product abbreviation
- Normal style of PCB protective coating
- Group one Mark V Series product grouping
- A-rated functional product revision
