Product Description
General Electric developed the DS200LDCCH1AKA board to operate as a drive control and local area network (LAN) communication board. The card was developed by General Electric for their Mark V Turbine Control System series of drive boards. Exciters and drives across GE’s DIRECTO-MATIC 2000 series can have this card installed in its cabinet. An array of onboard microprocessors provide the drive with a number of interfacing capabilities. These include LAN communications, drive resets, motor and drive processing, and operator interface.
As you may have been able to guess based off of its full extended series name, the Mark V Series that this DS200LDCCH1AKA product offering belongs to has intended applications in the management and control systems of popular and compatible steam, wind, and gas turbine automated drive assemblies, although it is considered a now-obsolete legacy product series given its eventual manufacturing discontinuation that took place in the many years following its initial General Electric product series release. While this DS200LDCCH1AKA PCB's greater Mark V Series is not well-updated generally as a legacy GE product series, it is still well-updated in one respect, as it exists as one of the final General Electric Mark product series to incorporate their patented Speedtronic control system technology into its various offerings. Before making any final purchase decision on this DS200LDCCH1AKA Drive Control/LAN Communications Board, it is critical to understand that this DS200LDCCH1AKA PCB is not the original product of its specific functionality developed for placement in the Mark V Series; that would be the DS200LDCCH1AKA parent Drive Control/LAN Communications Board missing all three of this DS200LDCCH1AKA PCB's three significant product revisions.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
Coverage of I/O and drive control settings is provided by the four microprocessors integrated onto the board. One of the onboard processors is a LAN control processor (LCP). The LCP is responsible for accepting and converting five different bus systems fed to the drive. DS200LDCCH1AKA also includes a drive control processor (DCP) used for controlling peripheral I/O devices such as timers and encoders. A motor control processors (MCP) is available on the drive to process I/O communications as well as circuits for the motor control system. Should the processing power of the MCP not meet a job’s need, the co-motor processor (CMP) will provide the extra processing power required. Users can easily access any onboard system diagnostics and settings via the attached alphanumeric keypad. This DS200LDCCH1AKA Mark V Turbine Control System Series' normal style of assembly is populated by a number of hardware component elements intended for voltage limitation. Each of these specific DS200LDCCH1AKA Board components is matched with its own individually-printed factory-printed nomenclature label, as dictated in the DS200LDCCH1AKA instructional manual embedded above in the manuals tab. Most of these hardware components crucial to voltage limitation exist as capacitors, resistors, and integrated circuits, although the base circuit board of this DS200LDCCH1AKA product offering is also protected by a special conformal style of PCB surface coating. In terms of diagnostic offerings, this DS200LDCCH1AKA Drive Control/LAN Communications Board's normal Mark V Series assembly is interrupted by several diagnostic testpoints and a singular RESET button. This DS200LDCCH1AKA device's communicative LED keypad display is something of a less-common Mark V Series LED indicator type, although several DN1 bar graph LEDs are also available in this DS200LDCCH1AKA PCB's assembly.
PROMS have been made available to the assembly of this DS200LDCCH1AKA printed circuit board as well; these PROM components utilize memory chips to store DS200LDCCH1AKA onboard software. Six of these flash PROM components have specifically been included to contain configuration data, while this DS200LDCCH1AKA Board's EEPROM contains this DS200LDCCH1AKA device's field-adjustable parameters. One RESET button has been included in the assembly of this DS200LDCCH1AKA PCB; this component is only meant to be accessed when a fatal functional fault is encountered by the DS200LDCCH1AKA Board. While the RESET button in this DS200LDCCH1AKA device's assembly is primarily accessible for dangerous and necessary hard device resets, a soft reset of the DS200LDCCH1AKA Board is possible, guided by the instructional available in the DS200LDCCH1AKA installation guide attached above in the manuals tab for your convenience. Devices shipped by AX Control are enclosed in a protective and static resistant plastic bag. Review any provided installation parameters before removing the device from it’s shipping container.
