Product Description
General Electric developed the DS200SHVMG1AGE as a High Voltage M-frame Interface Board. Designed for the Mark V board series, a range of GE exciters and drives can accept this card. When installed, a medium for interfacing across the drive is available. The system’s power supply board (DCFB or SDCI) and the power connect card (PCCA) can interface with the SCR bridge found on the M-frame drive using this system. The greater Mark V Series that this DS200SHVMG1AGE product offering belongs to must be categorized as a now-obsolete legacy product series, as its manufacturing has been discontinued in the many years following its initial release. With this being true, this DS200SHVMG1AGE High Voltage M-Frame Interface Board's greater Mark V Series additionally exists as one of the final General Electric Mark Series to incorporate the Speedtronic control system technology into its various offerings. Before making any final purchase decision on this DS200SHVMG1AGE product, it is crucial to realize that any of its originally-specified performance specifications and dimensions have no doubt been altered by its possession of three significant product revisions including two functional revisions and a singular artwork configuration revision.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
As with any General Electric printed circuit board product offering available to our extended new and reconditioned inventory, Mark V Series or not, this DS200SHVMG1AGE product offering makes use of its own series of functionality-introducing hardware components and component specifications. This board can provide an array of applications needed for proper drive function. The DS200SHVMG1AGE model can convert shunt signals between -500 and 500 mV into differential frequency outputs between 0 and 500 kHz. The mV to kHz conversion occurs using the DC positive and negative shunts that interact with the VCO (voltage-controlled oscillator) circuits on board. Both the power supply board (DCFB or SDCI) and the power connect card (PCCA) receive these frequency conversions, adjusting their output as needed. The AC line current includes a 10:1 current transformer attenuation, adjusting incoming currents. Users can configure the attenuation of the drive using the seventeen selectable jumpers found onboard. Numerous styles of Mark V Series connectors have been adopted into the assembly of this DS200SHVMG1AGE Interface Board to facilitate convenient and voltage-safe interfacing with other Mark V Series PCBs within the greater autoamted drive assembly. This DS200SHVMG1AGE PCB's internal assembly contains CT1PL, CT3PL, DC1PL, DC2PL, 1CPL, SQPL, IA1PL, and IA2PL Connectors in its assembly, to be specific, with each connector being applicable to specific applications and Mark V Series products. For example, the 1CPL connectors in this DS200SHVMG1AGE product's assembly include:
- The 1CPL-1 L1 ACCT White Current Output Connector
- The 1CPL-2 L1 ACCT Red Current Output Connector
- The 1CPL-3 L3 ACCT Red Current Output Connector
- The 1CPL-4 L3 ACCT White Current Output Connector.
As I am sure you have been able to guess, all of the aforementioned 1CPL connectors in the assembly of this DS200SHVMG1AGE device have been named through a combination of their individual factory-printed nomenclature labels, their location in terms of the greater DS200SHVMG1AGE Board, their color, and the signal that they transmit to other Mark V Series PCBs or modular assemblies. User and device safety is reliant on all manufacturer-provided installation parameters being met. Both the DS200SHVMG1AGE as well as the drive include safety guides that will ensure no avoidable damages occur to the drive. An illustrated guide to wiring the board is available in the device’s manual and datasheet. General Electric, the board’s manufacturer, was the original technical support provider for the entire Mark V series.
