About the DS200SLCCG4A
The DS200SLCCG4A board was developed by General Electric as a local area network (LAN) communication board. This device belongs to the Mark V series of replacement drive and exciter boards. A number of drives from the GE brand are designed to accept this card in its cabinet. Installing the card provides integral processing space for communications signals sent to the drive. This DS200SLCCG4A LAN Communications Card is actually not the original product released for the Mark V Series by manufacturer General Electric; that would be the DS200SLCCG4 parent printed circuit board that does not feature the singular, A-rated functional revision made to this DS200SLCCG4A product offering.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
This DS200SLCCG4A General Electric printed circuit board, along with the rest of the Mark V Series' products, features both a set standard Mark V Series assembly hardware components and a set of product-specific hardware component inclusions and specifications. All signals sent to the DS200SLCCG4A board are processed with the integrated LAN control processor (LCP). Programming data for this microprocessor is stored in two EPROM memory cartridges attached to the board. The aforementioned LCP is also provided with interfacing space to communicate with the host’s drive control card; this occurs the form of a dual ported RAM found on board. Circuits on the board include isolated and nonisolated, allowing for various signals, with users being provided with access to system diagnostics via the attachable alphanumeric keypad, a programming accessory which easily attaches to the board thanks to the intuitive connection system of the Mark B Series.
Any product purchased from AX Control will be shipped in a static resistant plastic bag. Do not remove the DS200SLCCG4A board until all provided installation parameters have been thoroughly reviewed. Installation should only be performed by personnel trained to handle drive boards, as potentially dangerous surface voltages may exist in many General Electric printed circuit boards. Instructions on wiring the LAN communication board can be found in the device’s corresponding manual and datasheet, although original instructional manual materials detailing this product can only be classified as scarce. This DS200SLCCG4A LAN Communications Card does not feature any sort of special assembly version, as evidenced by the presence of the DS200 series tag in its DS200SLCCG4A functional product number. Finally, this DS200SLCCG4A LAN Communications Card's internal assmebly should be well-protected beneath a layer of normal-style printed circuit board protection.
