About the DS200PTCTG2BAA
As briefly mentioned in the DS200PTCTG2BAA product description above, this DS200PTCTG2BAA PCB was originally manufactured by trusted automated industrial retailer General Electric, specifically for placement in their Mark V Turbine Control System Series. This DS200PTCTG2BAA PCB's rather self-explanatory Mark V Series has specific applications in the management and control systems of popular and compatible wind, steam, and gas turbine automated drive assemblies, although it must additionally be classified as a now-obsolete legacy product series given the eventual manufacturing discontinuation that took place in the many years past its original Mark V Series product series release. While this DS200PTCTG2BAA Signal Conditioner Board's greater Mark V Turbine Control System Series has to be considered a now-obsolete legacy product series, it is still able to attract some niche interest on the greater automated industrial marketplace as it exists as one of the final-developed GE Mark product series to make use of the patented Speedtronic control system technology across a range of offerings.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
According to the DS200PTCTG2BAA Data Sheet attached above in our convenient manuals tab, the official functionality of this DS200PTCTG2BAA product is to isolate and scale voltage current signals from both Potential Transformers and Current Transformers. This DS200PTCTG2BAA PCB's DS200PTCTG2BAA Data Sheet seems to hint at this DS200PTCTG2BAA PCB's more accurate functional status as that of a Potential Transformer Current Transformer Board, although the lack of additional Mark V Series documentation online supporting this cannot confirm it as fact.The GE Signal Conditioner Board DS200PTCTG2BAA features 1 terminal block with terminals for 72 signal wires. It also contains 1 50-pin connector. The IDs for the terminals on the terminal block include OUT2, OUT1, COM1, COM2, P15, SO21, and L23. When the original board is installed from the factory, the installation guide describes each of the terminals and provides information about which signal wires to connect to them. The board receives some of the signals for processing. Other signals are transmitted to other boards. Make sure approximately one half inch of insulation is removed from the signal wires to make contact with the terminal. This DS200PTCTG2BAA PCB is not the originally-produced device of its specific Mark V Series functional role; that would actually be the DS200PTCTG2 parent Signal Conditioner Board not making use of this DS200PTCTG2BAA PCB's full three-fold revision history.
The board also contains terminals for 6 signal wires. The terminals are held in place with screws that are on the surface of the board. Use a flat-blade screwdriver to open the terminals. However, care must be taken that you do not scratch the surface of the board with the blade of the screwdriver. Use one hand to guide the blade of the screwdriver to the screw and use the other hand to turn the screwdriver. Wrap the signal wire around the terminal and tighten the screw. Keep the screwdriver from scratching the surface of the board. The terminals are associated with a 3-character ID. The first character is a number. The second and third characters are TB. For example, some terminal IDs are 1TB, 2TB, and 3TB. The GE Signal Conditioner Board DS200PTCTG2BAA is populated with 2 isolated amplifiers and multiple flat wire inductors. The components are directly embedded on the board. This DS200PTCTG2BAA printed circuit board is not surrounded by any plethora of originally-printed instructional manual materials online; likely a symptom of its Mark V Legacy product series attribution. With this being the case, the DS200PTCTG2BAA functional product number can be considered a primary source of DS200PTCTG2BAA Board details; coding for this information in a series of functional naming components. For instance, the DS200PTCTG2BAA functional product number starts off with the dual-functional DS200 series tag delegating this DS200PTCTG2BAA Board's normal Mark V Series assembly as well as its domestic original manufacture location. Some of the other details embedded in the DS200PTCTG2BAA functional product number include this DS200PTCTG2BAA PCB's:
- PTCT functional product abbreviation
- Normal PCB coating style
- Group 2 Mark V Series product grouping
- Full three-fold revision table
