About the DS200TCPSG1APE
This DS200TCPSG1APE is a Power Supply Board originally manufactured for use in the Mark V Series of turbine control systems specifically. As you could probably tell by its name, the Mark V Series produced by General Electric has specific applications in the management and control systems of steam, wind, and gas turbine automated drive assemblies. The Mark V Series is considered a legacy product series due to its eventual discontinuation by the original manufacturer in the years following its original conception. While a legacy series, the Mark V Series that this DS200TCPSG1APE Power Supply Board belongs to is also one of the final General Electric product series to feature their patented Speedtronic technology in its products. The DS200TCPSG1APE printed circuit board, while definitively definable as a Power Supply Board in its own right, is not the original product of this specific functionality to feature within the Mark V Turbine Control System Series; that would be the DS200TCPSG1 Power Supply Board missing this DS200TCPSG1APE product offering's three-fold revision table.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
As with any Mark V Series product offered in our inventory of new and refurbished General Electric products, this DS200TCPSG1APE Power Supply Board necessitates its own series of functionality-introducing hardware components and component specifications. The GE Power Supply DC Input Board DS200TCPSG1APE contains three fuses, one 16-pin connector, and one 9-pin connector. It also contains multiple test points. Luckily enough for our purposes, the DS200TCPSG1APE Board's various connectors are described in detail in its originally-introduced instructional manual materials. Some of this DS200TCPSG1APE Power Supply Board's connectors include:
- The 2PL Daisy-Chained Power Supply Voltages Connector
- The J1 125 V dc TCPS Board Connector
- The JC TCQC and TCCA Boards Power Supply Voltages Connector
- The JP1 TCDA and AAHA Boards Power Supply Voltages Connector
- The JP2 TCDA and AAHA Board Power Supply Voltages Connector
- The X1 CCOM Bus Connection Connector
All of these listed connectors have been named through a combination of their factory-printed nomenclature labels, functionality to the greater DS200TCPSG1APE printed circuit board and Mark V Series automated drive assembly, and their compatibilities with other Mark V Turbine Control System Series printed circuit board product offerings. The functional name of the JP1 and JP2 jumpers listed above is essentially the same as they can be used interchangeably, one at a time with the same function.
The drive in which the GE Power Supply DC Input Board DS200TCPSG1APE is installed features multiple diagnostic tools that you can use to determine if the board is defective or if other boards and components are operating normally. This DS200TCPSG1APE PCB's diagnostic tool produces a report on many components in the drive and you can use it to diagnose problems you encounter, including if you suspect a problem with the DS200TCPSG1APE. The diagnostic file can be viewed from the 2-line display on the drive or downloaded to a laptop through a serial connection. Obtain a serial cable with the appropriate connectors for the serial port on the drive and on the laptop. From the interface panel you can select a download function; the panel indicates when the download is complete. Depending on the results of the diagnostics, the test points on the board might be used to identify specific circuits that are defective, or even specific fuses that are not functioning in this DS200TCPSG1APE Board's internal assembly.
