Product Description
This DS200SIOBH1AAA printed circuit board product offering was originally manufactured by General Electric, for placement in their Mark V Series of turbine control systems and turbine control system component products. This DS200SIOBH1AAA PCB's greater Mark V Series is considered a legacy series, given its manufacturing discontinuation in the years following its initial release. This DS200SIOBH1AAA PCB's Mark V Series, while a General Electric legacy series, additionally exists as one of the final GE Mark product series to make use of their patented Speedtronic control system technology. This DS200SIOBH1AAA product offering is definable as an SC2000 VME I/O Board, given this functional description's placement in available General Electric instructional manual materials. The DS200SIOBH1AAA PCB, while definable as an SC2000 VME I/O Board in its own right, is not the originally-developed product of this functionality to exist within the Mark V; that would be the DS200SIOBH1 parent printed circuit board missing all three of this DS200SIOBH1AAA PCB's significant product revisions.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
The GE I/O Control Board DS200SIOBH1AAA features twenty jumpers and 3 switch blocks with 6 switches in each block for a total of 18 switches. It is also populated with one LED and one 40-pin connector. The LED on the GE I/O Control Board DS200SIOBH1AAA indicates the processing performed by the board and provides a first step if you are troubleshooting the board. While the drive is powered on you can visually check the status of the LED and understand the health of the board. If you find that the board is not working as you expected, you can use the troubleshooting tools on the drive to see if the board is not working or if other components in the drive are causing problems. In explaining the various hardware component inclusions and specifications made useful to this DS200SIOBH1AAA product offering, the DS200SIOBH1AAA functional product number itself can be considered crucial; given the limited availability of this DS200SIOBH1AAA PCB's instructional documentation. The DS200SIOBH1AAA functional product number begins with the dual-functional DS200 series tag delegating this DS200SIOBH1AAA PCB's normal Mark V Series assembly and its domestic location of original manufacture. Some of the other DS200SIOBH1AAA board relevant hardware details revealed in the DS200SIOBH1AAA functional product number includes this DS200SIOBH1AAA Board's:
- SIOB functional product acronym
- Conformal PCB coating style
- Group one Mark V Series product grouping
- A-rated primary functional revision
- A-rated secondary functional revision
- A-rated artwork configuration revision
To troubleshoot the board, you can use the control panel to initiate the troubleshooting tools on the drive. The control panel gives you access to the tools using the keyboard. The interface is menu-driven which means you make selections with the keys and also use the keys to scroll through the selections. One menu selection is to start the troubleshooting tool. The troubleshooting tool tests all the components in the drive and provides a diagnostic report that you can use to determine where the error resides. If you decide to replace the board, you have to examine the 20 jumpers and the 3 banks of switches and configure the board so that the jumpers and switches are set in the same positions. This will enable the new board to behave exactly like the defective board.
