Product Description
The GE Drive Control Board DS200SDCCG4AHD is the primary controller for the drive. The GE Drive Control Board DS200SDCCG4AHD is populated with 3 microprocessors and RAM that can be accessed by multiple microprocessors at the same time. Each microprocessor has its own set of features that enable it to perform a specific type of processing and together the microprocessors can perform all drive control functions.
The replacement board contains five empty EPROM connectors into which you plug the EPROMs from the defective board. Always wear a wrist strap when you touch the EPROM modules because they are subject to harm from static. Use your thumb and forefinger to remove the chip from the connector and don’t put the module down. Place it directly into the same connector on the replacement board. Four of the modules contain factory defined configuration values and one contains site defined configuration values. You can use a drive configuration tool installed on a laptop to edit the configuration, if necessary. You can connect the board to the laptop with a serial cable and gain access to the file.
Before you make the serial connection, make sure the serial port is configured correctly and that you have plugged the cable into the correct port on the laptop. Also, make sure the connector is fully seated in the connector.
As part of the replacement you must also move the optional cards from the old board to the replacement. Use a screwdriver to remove the screws that secure the cards and unplug cables also. Align the cards with the standoffs on the replacement board and insert the screws. Also, reconnect any cables from the card to the new board.
