Product Description
As revealed in the shortened product description above, this DS200IOEAG1 printed circuit board or PCB for short exists as an I/O Expansion Board manufactured by General Electric specifically for placement in their Mark V Turbine Control System Series. As you have probably been able to guess by its full extended series name, the Mark V Series that this DS200IOEAG1 PCB belongs to is definable as a now-obsolete legacy product series, considering its eventual manufacturing discontinuation that took place in the many years following its initial release. This DS200IOEAG1 device's Mark V Series has specific applications in the control and management systems of popular and compatible wind, steam, and gas turbine automated drive assemblies, and is additionally definable as one of the final General Electric Mark product series to incorporate the patented Speedtronic control system technology first seen alongside the release of the Mark I Series in the later 1960s. This DS200IOEAG1 PCB is the original product of its specific Mark V Series functionality, as evidenced by its DS200IOEAG1 functional product number's lack of any trailing, revision-indicating digits.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
The GE I/O Expansion Board DS200IOEAG1 features five 26-pin connectors and two 40-pin connectors. The GE I/O Expansion Board DS200IOEAG1 also is populated with 3 PROM connectors identified as C6, C7, and C8. The PROM modules are used to store the configuration for the drive. The configuration is the parameters used to control the operation of the drive. When the board is received from the factory it contains a default configuration that you might find useful for your site. However, you can edit the default configuration to tailor them for the purposes of your site. There are two methods for editing the configuration of this DS200IOEAG1 Mark V Series product offering. One method is to use the control panel on the drive. The control panel has a number of buttons that are used to navigate the series of menus in the user interface. Some menu items correspond to the various sections of the configuration and provide easy access to the configuration. Other menu items enable you to access the troubleshooting tools available on the drive. You can also select to upload or download files. This method of editing the configuration is most applicable to small or minor edits that the operator can make from the drive using the small display panel on the drive. The other method is useful for major changes that you want to make to the configuration of this DS200IOEAG1 product. First, obtain a serial cable that can connect to the serial port on the drive and also to a laptop. Then from the control panel select to upload the file to the laptop. Also, you must install the editing tool on the laptop.
While the configuration methods used for this DS200IOEAG1 product offering are well-detailed above, their inclusion here is mostly reminiscent of this DS200IOEAG1 product offering's legacy series status and its concurrent lack of original instructional manual materials available online for research purposes. With this noted lack of original instructional documentation for the DS200IOEAG1 Board being true, the DS200IOEAG1 functional product number itself can be considered a primary source of DS200IOEAG1 Board hardware information. The DS200IOEAG1 functional product number codes for specific DS200IOEAG1 Board hardware details in different functional naming chunks. For example, the DS200IOEAG1 functional product number begins with the dual-functional DS200 series tag delegating this DS200IOEAG1 product's normal Mark V Series assembly as well as its domestic location of original manufacture. Some of the other varied hardware specifications revealed through use of the DS200IOEAG1 functional product number include this DS200IOEAG1 Input/Output Expansion Board's:
- IOEA functional product abbreviation
- Normal PCB coating style
- Group one Mark V Series grouping
- Absence of any significant product revision
