Product Description
This DS200TCTSG2ACC printed circuit board or PCB for short, as mentioned above, was originally manufactured for use in the Mark V Turbine Control System Series. The Mark V Series, as you can probably tell by its full name, has specific applications in the control and management systems of steam, wind, and gas turbine automated drive assemblies, and is considered a General Electric legacy series given its eventual discontinuation by the original manufacturer in the years following its initial release. While a legacy series, the Mark V Turbine Control System Series that this DS200TCTSG2ACC printed circuit board belongs to is also one of the final General Electric Mark product series to feature the patented Speedtronic control system technology in its offerings. This DS200TCTSG2ACC PCB is truly better-definable as a Simplex Trip Board; the official functional product description it is referred to as in original Mark V Series instructional manual materials. This DS200TCTSG2ACC Simplex Trip Board is not the original product of its functionality to feature within the Mark V Series, however; that would be the DS200TCTSG2 parent Simplex Trip Board missing all three of this DS200TCTSG2ACC PCB's three significant product revisions.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
As with any Mark V Turbine Control System Series product, this DS200TCTSG2ACC Simplex Trip Board comes with its own specified set of hardware component inclusions and specifications introducing its intended functionality. The GE Simplex Trip Board DS200TCTSG2ACC is populated with 12 plug-in relays. It also has 3 16-pin connectors and 2 12-pin connectors. The IDs assigned to the 16-pin connectors are JDR, JDS and JDT. The IDs assigned to the 12-pin connectors are JN and JM. This DS200TCTSG2ACC printed circuit board product offering additionally makes use of many of the standardized voltage-limiting hardware components of the greater Mark V Series; including various capacitors, rectifiers, diodes, and integrated circuits in its assembly. Given the DS200TCTSG2ACC PCB's generally-low market availability that extends to its original instructional manual materials, the DS200TCTSG2ACC functional product number itself can be considered a strong source of original DS200TCTSG2ACC board hardware identification information. Some of the DS200TCTSG2ACC hardware details embedded in this DS200TCTSG2ACC functional number include this DS200TCTSG2ACC board's:
- Domestic location of original manufacture
- Normal Mark V Series assembly type
- TCTS functional product acronym
- Normal Style of PCB coating
- Group 2 Mark V Series grouping
- Three-fold revision history
Due to the size and weight of the board, special consideration is required when you install and remove the GE Simplex Trip Board DS200TCTSG2ACC. The relays that populate the board add extra weight because of the interior metal moving parts that are visible through the clear plastic exterior. Care must be taken to protect them from bumping against other objects and accidentally being dropped. When you are ready to install a board, open the sealed bag with a sharp knife. Reach into the bag and slid the board out by holding the edge of the board with one hand and be careful to not grab any of the components on the board. Use two hands to hold the board by the edges and lift the board and place it on the flattened static bag. Two people are required to install the board in the drive. One person will use two hands to lift the board and maneuver it into the drive cabinet without bumping into any objects. Align the board with the screw holes in the board rack. The other individual positions the screws and uses a screwdriver to tighten them. If the screws fall into the cabinet, find them before you restart the drive. Loose metal objects might damage electrical components or jam moving parts driven by the motor.
