About the DS200RTBAG3ABB
Developed for General Electric’s Mark V Turbine Control System board series, the DS200RTBAG3ABB is an optional relay terminal board. This DS200RTBAG3ABB printed circuit board product offering's greater Mark V Series, as evidenced by its full extended series name, has specific applications in the management and control systems of popular and compatible wind, gas, and steam turbine automated drive assemblies, and is considered to exist as a now-obsolete legacy product series for GE. This DS200RTBAG3ABB printed circuit board or PCB for short's legacy series attribution is due to its eventual manufacturing discontinuation that took place in the many years following its initial release due to obsolescence. The Mark V Series that this DS200RTBAG3ABB PCB exists as a member of, while largely obsolete, is one of the final General Electric Mark Series products to incorporate the patented Speedtronic control system technology into its various offerings, with this specific control system technology first being identified alongside the release of the Mark I Series in the later 1960s. This DS200RTBAG3ABB Relay Terminal Board or Relay Terminal Board Assembly is not the original product of its intended Mark V Series functional role; that would be the DS200RTBAG3ABB Relay Terminal Board missing all three of this DS200RTBAG3ABB PCB's three significant product revisions.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
Ten additional relay points are provided to drives when this card is installed in the device cabinet. A wide range of GE drives and exciters can accept and use this board. Users can remotely drive the relays or rely on the LAN I/O terminal board found in the drive system. As with any mark V Series product offering available to our new and reconditioned inventory here, this DS200RTBAG3ABB PCB is accompanied in its originally-printed GE instructional manual materials by a reference to its RTBA functional acronym. This acronym was created to exist as a functional shorthand alternative to the lengthy DS200RTBAG3ABB functional product number. It is something of a surprise that this DS200RTBAG3ABB printed circuit board makes no use of a special Mark V Series assembly version, as its RTBA functional abbreviation seems to point to an official product description as a Relay Terminal Board Assembly. This DS200RTBAG3ABB PCB's normal Mark V Series assembly was actually revealed through use of this DS200RTBAG3ABB PCB's DS200RTBAG3ABB functional product number, which reveals various general hardware specifications for this DS200RTBAG3ABB product in a series of consecutive functional naming chunks. For example, the DS200RTBAG3ABB functional product number begins with the DS200 series tag revealing this DS200RTBAG3ABB product's normal Mark V Series assembly version as well as its domestic original manufacture location. Some of the other relevant details exposed through use of the DS200RTBAG3ABB functional product number include this Mark V Series PCB's:
- RTBA functional product abbreviation
- Group 3 Mark V Series product grouping
- Normal PCB coating style
- A-rated primary functional revision
- B-rated secondary functional revision
- B-rated artwork configuration revision
DS200RTBAG3ABB features two different types of relays, DPDT and 4PDT. The majority of the relays are DPDT type, with each featuring two Form C contacts. Contacts found within these seven relays include a voltage rating of 10A per contact. The remaining three relays are the second type, 4PDT. Four Form C contacts are found in these relay types. Each of these contacts rates at 1A per contact. All ten relays do include a 110 VDC coil to allow for proper relay and board function. I/O for all ten points are protected from surges and voltage spikes by a 130 VAC metal oxide varistor, or MOV. Every onboard relay can be removed and replaced by the user should any point fail. Installation parameters provided for both DS200RTBAG3ABB and the board should be reviewed and followed by the user. These guidelines will protect the drive and board from any accidental or unintentional damages. Please review the device manual and datasheet for a complete wiring and installation guide. The manufacturer, General Electric, was the original technical support provider for the entire Mark V series of boards.
