About the DS200TCSAG1A

The DS200TCSAG1A model is a Fuel Skid Interface Board that exists as part of the Mark V series manufactured by General Electric's shell company GE Industrial Systems. This model may also be labeled as a UC Pressure Transducer Interface, and can be identified in many industry circles by its functionally-abbreviated acronym of TCSA.

Hardware Tips and Specifications

When the DS200TCSAG1A model PCB is used as intended within the greater R core, it will interface with an XDSA board that is mounted in the R2 core. This Fuel Skid Interface Board will additionally interface with the XDSA board on the fuel skid with Dry Low Emissions (DLE) functions. The TCSA board will decode signals from the high-resolution pressure transducers for the 196 processor on the UCIB board. The signals from the TCSA board will be read from the XDSA board. The signals received from the XDSA board will be sent to the TBSA terminal board within the Mark V assembly system and are then transferred over to the TCSA board over the P3 connector on the DS200TCSAG1A model. This TCSA board's positioning within the greater <R> core assembly should be highlighted below, in General Electric's Figure B-5.

When the DS200TCSAG1A model is being used as a Pressure Transducer Interface model, the TCSA board will decode protocol signals from the RS422 connectors and will write them to the UCIB board to be processed by the 196 processor. This specfic version of TCSA board can additionally provide power to pressure transducers and FMVED motor controllers. 

There are five main connectors present on the base plate of this DS200TCSAG1A model. Theses connectors, in no particular order, can be defined as:

• 2PL, the power connector from the TCPS board in the R core 
• the SER connector, included to write decoded pressure transducer signals to the UCIB board;
• the P3 and P4 connectors, both providing 12 VDC power to DS200TCSAG1A
• the P4 connector which interfaces to the FMVED motor controllers
• the P4 connector which receives pressure signals from TBSA to interface to the XDSA board on the fuel skid
• the GND connector, which is the chassis ground to the 1TB terminal board in the R core.

While only a limited set of manual information is available for this specific Mark V series product online, a slew of information is available upon thorough analysis of the DS200TCSAG1A's product number. For example, the initial "DS200" portion of this product's official moniker designates it as a General Electric offering manufactured in the United States. The DS200TCSAG1A model's functional acronym, TCSA, is revealed shortly after. After this functional acronym inclusion, the product number portion "G1" designates this model as a group one style of PCB product with a normal type of protective PCB coating. Finally, the remaining "A" digit in DS200TCSAG1A indicates that this Pressure Transducer Interface has been modified through the inclusion of a singular A-rated functional revision. Always remember to ensure revision-specific circuit board dimensions and functionality before making a purchase of this DS200TCSAG1A. A full part number breakdown for this TCSA PCB component is available above, through our "Manuals" tab.
