Product Description
This DS200TCTSG1AEE printed circuit board was originally manufactured by General Electric, for placement specifically in the Mark V Turbine Control System Series, as discussed in the brief DS200TCTSG1AEE product description above. This DS200TCTSG1AEE printed circuit board or PCB for short's greater Mark V Series has specific applications in the control and management systems of compatible and popular wind, steam, and gas turbine automated drive assemblies, and is considered a legacy series due to its eventual obsolescence-necessitated manufacturing discontinuation that took place in one of the many years past its initial Mark V Series product release. While largely unattractive as a General Electric legacy product series, this DS200TCTSG1AEE Board's greater Mark V Series is still attracting niche automated industrial sphere interest, as it exists as one of the last-developed General Electric product series to make use of their patented Speedtronic control system technology first seen alongside the release of the Mark I Series in the later 1960s. This DS200TCTSG1AEE PCB exists as a TRM Simplex Trip Module, although it is not the original product of this intended functional role developed for placement in the Mark V Series. This DS200TCTSG1AEE PCB's original functional parent product is the DS200TCTSG1 TRM Simplex Trip Module not making use of this DS200TCTSG1AEE device's three significant product revisions.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
The DS200TCTSG1AEE serves as a crucial TRM Simplex Trip Module within GE's Mark V turbine control system, providing essential functionality for trip signal transmission to various relays. This board is part of a range of trip boards available for the Mark V system, including TCTL, TCTG, TCTE, and TCTF options. These trip boards are commonly connected to the TCAE board or a relay driver. It is something of a surprise that this DS200TCTSG1AEE Mark V Series product offering is considered to exist functionally as a TRM Simplex Trip Module, as the DS200TCTSG1AEE functional product number itself seems to assert a normal Mark V Series assembly status. The DS200TCTSG1AEE functional product number can actually be considered a primary source of DS200TCTSG1AEE Board hardware component and component specification information, coding for various general DS200TCTSG1AEE board details in a series of consecutive functional naming chunks. For example, the DS200TCTSG1AEE functional product number begins with the dual-functional DS200 series tag delegating this DS200TCTSG1AEE Module's normal Mark V Series assembly as well as its domestic original manufacture location. Some of the other viable DS200TCTSG1AEE board hardware details revealed through an analysis of its DS200TCTSG1AEE functional product number include:
- The TCTS functional product abbreviation
- A normal PCB coating style
- A Group one Mark V Series product grouping
- An A-rated primary functional revision
- An E-rated secondary functional revision
- An E-rated artwork configuration revision
In the Mark V control system, the DS200TCTSG1AEE plays a vital role in enabling high-voltage drives to operate reliably. The board is equipped with 19 plug-in relays, organized into two groups of eight and one group of three. It also features three parallel multi-pin plug connectors positioned towards the center top of the board, as well as three smaller multi-pin plug connectors situated close to one corner of the board. Additionally, vertical pin connectors are found in proximity to the group of three relays. Various other components populate the DS200TCTSG1AEE, including two plug connectors, integrated circuits, small fuses, and resistor network arrays. However, the DS200TCTSG1 model is an older version compared to the TCTSG2. One significant difference between the two is that the G1 model does not include a Jumper (J1) that allows the Supervisory Voltage (SV) to be turned on and off. In contrast, the G2 board incorporates this Jumper (J1) feature, providing the flexibility to enable or disable the Supervisory Voltage as needed. Furthermore, the DS200TCTSG1A lacks four large 50VDC Capacitors present in the G2 card. These capacitors play an essential role in storing electrical energy and stabilizing the system's voltage levels. The inclusion of these capacitors in the TCTS enhances its performance and reliability compared to the older G1 model.
