Product Description
This DS200FCRRG1AKD printed circuit board product offering was originally manufactured for use in the Mark V Turbine Control System Series, as alluded to immediately above. The DS200FCRRG1AKD PCB's Mark V Series, as you could probably tell by its full name, has specific applications in the management and control systems of wind, gas, and steam turbine automated drive assemblies. The Mark V Series that this DS200FCRRG1AKD PCB belongs to is considered a legacy series as it has been discontinued by its original manufacturer, although it also exists as one of the final General Electric Mark product lines to feature the patented Speedtronic control system technology in its various offerings. This DS200FCRRG1AKD printed circuit board is truly better-definable by its official functional product description as a Firing Circuit Control Board, as it appears in original General Electric and Mark V Series instructional documentation. This DS200FCRRG1AKD PCB is not the original product of its specific functionality to be developed for the Mark V Series, however; that would be the DS200FCRRG1 parent Firing Circuit Control Board missing the DS200FCRRG1AKD product's three significant product revisions.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
As with any General Electric printed circuit board product offering, this DS200FCRRG1AKD PCB makes use of its own specific series of hardware component inclusions and specifications to gain its intended series functionality. The GE Firing Circuit Control Board DS200FCRRG1AKD features 1 terminal block with terminals for 95 signal wires. It also contains 10 2-pin connectors, 2 ribbon cables, and a programmable logic device. The IDs of the 10 2-pin connectors begin with a numerical value and end with PL. The numbers are assigned in sequence and are printed on the surface of the board for easy reference by the installer or servicer. For example, some of the IDs are 1PL, 5PL, 12PL, and 15PL. Alongside some of the more specialized DS200FCRRG1AKD hardware component elements exist many of the Mark V Series-standardized voltage-limiting hardware components, including various capacitors, resistors, diodes, and integrated circuits. An additional level of PCB protective coating is offered through this DS200FCRRG1AKD Firing Circuit Control Board's normal style of PCB coating, which is applied to this DS200FCRRG1AKD PCB's base circuit board and envelops and protects individual hardware elements on a functional priority basis. Before making a final purchase decision on this DS200FCRRG1AKD printed circuit board, it is crucial to realize that its originally-introduced performance specifications and dimensions have no doubt been impacted through its possession of a full, three-fold product revision history.
This DS200FCRRG1AKD Firing Circuit Control Board is offered alongside a slew of pertinent installation and replacement guidelines, given its attribution as a static-sensitive printed circuit board. Because of the number of 2-pin cables attached to the connectors, it is important to record where the cables are attached before you disconnect them. Mark on the cables the ID of the connector it is attached to before you disconnect it. Then, when you are prepared to connect the cables on the replacement board, the task is fast and accurate. If you connect the 2-pin cables to the wrong connectors, you might not realise the error until you attempt to start the drive. This leads to more down time for the drive and a loss of productivity for the drive and other related activities performed at the site. To remove signal wires from the terminal block, have on a hand a narrow flat blade screwdriver. Loosen the retention screw and pull out the signal wire. Make sure the signal wire has about 0.5 inches of insulation removed from the end of the wire. Best practice is to have all the bare wire inserted into the terminal. However, if less than 0.5 inches of insulation is removed, the connection might not be made between the terminal and the signal wire.
