Product Description
The General Electric Mark V DS200KLDAG1ACC Keypad LED Display Board is a vital component of the Mark V Turbine Control System series, offering advanced visual data representation for effective turbine management. Its integration within the modular Mark V system and its advanced features highlight its significance in ensuring optimal turbine control and operation. As indicated in its full extended series name, the Mark V Series that this DS200KLDAG1ACC printed circuit board or PCB for short belongs to has specific applications in the control and management systems of popular and compatible wind, steam and gas turbine automated drive assemblies. This DS200KLDAG1ACC PCB's Mark V Series is additionally definable as one of the final General Electric product series to feature their patented Speedtronic control system technology first released alongside the rollout of the Mark I Series in the mid to late 1960s. This DS200KLDAG1ACC product offering's greater Mark V Series, while updated in terms of its control system technology, is considered poorly-updated generally, as its manufacture has been discontinued due to obsolescence in the many years following its initial release. This DS200KLDAG1ACC PCB is not the originally-designed product of its specific Mark V Series functional role; that would be the DS200KLDAG1 parent printed circuit board missing this DS200KLDAG1ACC PCB's three significant product revisions.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
The Normal Make V Series assembly of this DS200KLDAG1ACC PCB consists of a large rectangular base board and seven auxiliary boards labeled DS200DSPA. It is somewhat surprising that this DS200KLDAG1ACC printed circuit board product offering is considered to possess a normal Mark V Series assembly type, as similar Mark V Series daughterboard products seem to possess DS215 or DS2020 special series tags in their respective functional GE product numbers. This DS200KLDAG1ACC PCB's auxiliary boards are interconnected with the primary board through brass pin connectors, forming a robust and integrated display system. The primary DS200KLDAG1ACC board incorporates essential components such as jumper switches, connectors, resistors, resistor network arrays, diodes, transistors, capacitors, and integrated circuits. Notably, the DS200KLDAG1ACC employs advanced technologies, including field programmable gate arrays, oscillating chips, and EEPROMs. Voltage protection in the assembly of this DS200KLDAG1ACC Key/LED/Display Board is handled through a series-standardized voltage-limiting hardware components including various styles of capacitors, resistors, and diodes. Given this DS200KLDAG1ACC product's attribution to a now-obsolete legacy General Electric product series, it is not too surprising to find that it is not well-documented in any internet-available original Mark V Series instructional manual materials. With this being true, the DS200KLDAG1ACC functional product number itself can be considered a strong source of DS200KLDAG1ACC Board hardware component and component specification information, coding for various DS200KLDAG1ACC Board details in a series of functional naming chunks. For instance, the DS200KLDAG1ACC functional product number begins with the DS200 series tag dictating this DS200KLDAG1ACC product's normal Mark V Series assembly and domestic location of original manufacture. Some of the other relevant hardware details revealed through the DS200KLDAG1ACC functional product number include this Mark V Series PCB's:
- KLDA functional product abbreviation
- Group one Mark V Series product grouping
- Normal PCB protective coating style
- A-rated primary functional revision
- C-rated secondary functional revision
- C-rated artwork configuration revision
The primary purpose of the DS200KLDAG1ACC board is to provide a comprehensive visual representation of critical numerical data related to turbine management. It features a ten-position LED display on each DS200DSPA auxiliary board, allowing for precise and intuitive data presentation. The LED indicators are organized into eight lines, with each line comprising four LEDs. The keypad LED display board facilitates real-time monitoring and analysis of vital turbine parameters, enabling operators to make informed decisions and take appropriate actions promptly. The Mark V system is known for its modular architecture, enabling the replacement of individual boards as needed. The DS200KLDAG1ACC board is an integral part of this modular ecosystem, seamlessly communicating with other boards through ARCNET connections. Its interconnectivity and compatibility make it a vital component for ensuring the overall efficiency and functionality of the Mark V turbine control system.
