Product Description
When the DS200LDCCH1 card was manufactured, the unit was designed to operate as a drive control local area network (LAN) communications board. General Electric classified the card as a member of the Mark V series of drive boards. The card was developed to operate with exciters and drives from GE’s DIRECTO-MATIC 2000 series. Microprocessors on the board provide LAN communications, operator interface, motor and drive processing, and drive resets. The Mark V Series that this DS200LDCCH1 printed circuit board product offering belongs to is one of the final General Electric product series to make use of their patented Speedtronic control system technology, despite its additional classification as a now-obsolete legacy product series given its eventual manufacturing discontinuation in the many years post-release. This DS200LDCCH1 LAN Communications Board is the originally-developed product of its specific Mark V Series functionality, as evidenced by the absence of any trailing revision-indicating alphanumeric digits on the DS200LDCCH1 functional product number.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
Features of the DS200LDCCH1 board include four microprocessors to offer coverage of I/O and drive control settings. These four microprocessors include a drive control processor (DCP), motor control processor (MCP), co-motor processor (CMP), and a LAN control processor (LCP). The DCP offers control for integrated I/O peripherals, such as decoders and timers. Circuits for the motor control system as well as I/O communications are processed through the MCP. Should the MCP be incapable of finishing computations, the CMP will provide the extra processing power required to perform complex mathematical equations. The final processor, the LCP, accepts five bus systems for communications inputs. The board is completed with an alphanumeric keypad to provide access to system settings and diagnostics. In terms of its software, any onboard software accessed by the Mark V Turbine Control System Series' DS200LDCCH1 printed circuit board is stored in a series of memory chips attached to its main base circuit board. Much like the four microprocessors mentioned above, each of these memory chips is accompanied by its own factory-printed nomenclature label as designated in the DS200LDCCH1 Overview attached above in the manuals tab provided for your convenience. Some of this DS200LDCCH1 product's memory chips include:
- The U6, U7, U11, U12, U22, and U23 Flash PROMs
- The U9 EEPROM
While this DS200LDCCH1 device's series of Flash PROMs are configured at the factory, they contain configuration data and can be customized by the Mark V Series drive administrator as needed. This DS200LDCCH1 product offering's singular U9-located EEPROM is responsible for the containment of this DS200LDCCH1 device's field-programmable parameters, which exist as the primary customization strategy for this DS200LDCCH1 LAN Communications Board outside of its hardware reset button. When shipped, the card will be protected by a static-reducing protective plastic covering. Before removing the DS200LDCCH1 board from the protective wrappings, be sure to review any provided installation parameters. Refer to the device’s manual and datasheet for a complete guide to installing and wiring the board. General Electric originally provided technical support for the entire Mark V series of boards.
