Product Description
The GE Multi-Bridge Signal Processing Board is DS200SPCBG1A is an interface between the drive control board and the multi-bridge hub communications board.
The board processes encoder feedback signals to the drive control panel and also provides the fiber optic network capabilities for bridge-to-bridge or master-to-master network communications.
A ribbon cable provides the connection between the board and the drive control board. The drive control board and the GE Mark IV PC Board are both installed in the drive circuit board cabinet. When you replace the DS200SPCBG1A, you must disconnect the ribbon cable from the defective board and reinstall it in the replacement board. However, you must take special care when you disconnect and reconnect the ribbon cable. The ribbon cable is composed of multiple fine wires and they are terminated on both ends with a connector. Each of the fine wires carries a signal but is subject to break or disconnect from the connector and the installer might be unaware of the defect.
Treat the ribbon cable carefully and only use your hands to grasp the connector when you connect or disconnect the ribbon cable. Never attempt to disconnect the cable by tugging on the ribbon cable.
If at any point you contact a service representative you can shorten the call by having all the information available to identify the board. You should write down the information when you first take possession of the board, however, if you cannot find the written record of the board, you can locate the identifying information on the board.
