About the DS200SIOBG1AAA
As designated above, this DS200SIOBG1AAA printed circuit board or SC2000 VME I/O Board more specifically was manufactured by the trusted automated industrial giant General Electric, specifically for placement in their Mark V Turbine Control System Series. This DS200SIOBG1AAA PCB's greater Mark V Series is considered a now-obsolete legacy GE product series, given its eventual manufacturing discontinuation in the many years since its original conception. This DS200SIOBG1AAA device's Mark V Series, while a defunct legacy series, still exists as one of the final General Electric product series to make use of their patented Speedtronic control system technology first utilized alongside the release of the Mark I series in the later 1960s. This DS200SIOBG1AAA printed circuit board product offering is not the original PCB of its specific functionality to exist within the Mark V Series; that would be the DS200SIOBG1 parent SC2000 VME I/O Board notable not making use of this DS200SIOBG1AAA product's three significant revisions. As indicated in this DS200SIOBG1AAA PCB's classification as an SC2000 VME I/O Board, this DS200SIOBG1AAA product more than likely belong to the SC2000 Mark V Series subsystem.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
The SC2000 VME I/O board DS200SIOBG1AAA is one of the models used with the Mark V systems to add more I/O features. The SIOB board will be mounted in one VME slot and will connect to a common VME P1 connector. The primary function of the SIOB board is to provide additional I/O features as well as support up to 16-bit data transfers and standard I/O address modifiers. The SIOB model is labeled under the Auxiliary Modules and Boards used with the UC200V system. This DS200SIOBG1AAA printed circuit board is only sparingly mentioned in available Mark V Turbine Control System Series, given its now-obsolete legacy series attribution. With this being the case, the DS200SIOBG1AAA functional product number itself gains a new naming importance to this DS200SIOBG1AAA PCB, displaying some of its more basic features in functional naming chunks. For example, the DS200SIOBG1AAA functional product number begins with the DS200 series tag delegating this DS200SIOBG1AAA product's normal Mark V Series assembly as well as its domestic location of original manufacture. Some of the other relevant hardware details revealed through the DS200SIOBG1AAA functional product number include this DS200SIOBG1AAA PCB's:
- SIOB functional product abbreviation
- Normal PCB coating style
- Group one Mark V Series grouping
- A-rated primary functional revision
- A-rated secondary functional revision
- A-rated artwork configuration revision
The DS200SIOBG1AAA has many features; some of the features on the SIOB model are three switch blocks, twenty jumpers, a single LED, and a forty-pin connector. The single LED made available to the assembly of this DS200SIOBG1AAA product lights when this DS200SIOBG1AAA product is accessed by its greater VME rack assembly. The switch blocks on the unit each have six switches making a total of eighteen switches on this board. The jumpers on this board can be configured to whatever the user desires, so it is functionally operating to the Mark V system's specifications. Other features of the SIOB board are two I/O connectors labeled J1 and J2. The two connectors will be connected through special cables to the TBB or TBA terminal boards for external connections. For more information on the DS200SIOBG1AAA board, refer to the GEH-6371 General Electric manual or the GEI-100250 SC2000 VME I/O Board Instruction Manual, although General Electric has steadily made its Mark V Series instructional documentation unavailable on the internet in the years following its disbandment.
