Product Description
This DS200UCPBG5AFA printed circuit board product offering was originally, as described above, manufactured by General Electric, specifically for placement in their Mark V Turbine Control System Series. As you can probably tell based off its extended full series name, the Mark V Series that this DS200UCPBG5AFA PCB can be attributed to has specific applications in the management and control systems of popular and compatible wind, steam, and gas turbine automated drive assemblies, and exists as a now-defunct legacy series, as its original manufacture was discontinued by General Electric in one of the many years following its initial release. While this DS200UCPBG5AFA PCB's greater Mark V Turbine Control System Series has to be considered a now-obsolete GE legacy product series, it is still something of a highly-esteemed and desirable product series, as it is one of the final-produced General Electric product series to incorporate the patented Speedtronic control system technology into its various offerings. This DS200UCPBG5AFA printed circuit board exists functionally as an IO Engine CPU Board in its own right, although the originally-developed product of this specific functionality would be the DS200UCPBG5 parent printed circuit board not utilizing this DS200UCPBG5AFA PCB's three significant product revisions.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
As with any Mark V Turbine Control System Series product, this DS200UCPBG5AFA PCB's functionality is introduced with its normal Mark V Series assembly's acceptance of a specific series of functionality-inducing hardware components and component specifications. The General Electric PC Board model DS200UCPBG5AFA features one microprocessor and several PROM modules. It also contains a single DIMM connector and 1 switch block with 7 switches. It also features 1 34-pin connector and 1 connector for attachment to another board. The GE PC Board DS200UCPBG5AFA is a daughter card for the DS200UCIAG2 and it provides additional processing and other functionality. It connects to the DS200UCIAG2 through a connector and is attached to it on standoffs. The switch block contains 7 switches that you can use to configure the board to function to meet the requirements of the site. When the original board is installed in the drive, the installation guide that comes with the board describes how the switches change the operation of the board. And the switches come set in the default positions. The default positions configure the board to function as is typical for most applications. Generally, voltage limitation and suppression in the assembly of this DS200UCPBG5AFA product offering is handled by a standard number of voltage-limiting hardware components such as diodes, capacitors, resistors, and even specialized integrated circuits.
When you are replacing the board because it is defective, the best practice is to diagram the settings of the switches as they are on the old board. Then, set the switches on the new board to match them. In doing so, the GE PC Board DS200UCPBG5AFA will function the same in the drive when it is installed. The 34-pin connector attaches to a ribbon cable in the interior of the drive and when you install the board you must attach the ribbon cable to the 34-pin connector on the new board. The 34-pin connector will have the same ID. Luckily enough for the sakes of this DS200UCPBG5AFA product's personalized product page, its originally-introduced connectors available to its normal Mark V Series assembly have been listed in the DS200UCPBG5AFA instructional manual above, within the context of their functionality. All of the below-listed connectors in the assembly of this DS200UCPBG5AFA PCB have been named through a combination of their specific factory-printed nomenclature labels, their Mark V Series compatible products, and finally the type of connection or signals they establish for the DS200UCPBG5AFA Board and its greater Mark V Series automated drive assembly. Only this DS200UCPBG5AFA PCB's COM2 and IDE Connectors have not been named as such, as they solely exist as vestigial structures not meant to be accessed during normative functionality of the DS200UCPBG5AFA and its greater Mark V Series automated drive assembly. Some of this DS200UCPBG5AFA printed circuit board's specific connectors include:
- The ARCNET STCA Board COREBUS Connector
- The COM1 STCI Board Terminal Interface Monitor Connector
- The COM2 Connector
- The J1 STCA Board Bus Connector
- The J2 STCA Board Bus Connector
- The IDE Connector
