About the DS2020LPPA340A
This DS2020LPPA340A printed circuit board product offering was originally manufactured by General Electric, specifically for placement in their Mark V Turbine Control System Series. As you might have been able to guess based off of its full extended series name, the Mark V Series that this DS2020LPPA340A device belongs to has specific applications in both the control and management systems of popular and compatible steam, wind, and gas turbine automated drive assemblies. With this being true, the DS2020LPPA340A PCB's greater Mark V Series is not a continuously-updated GE product series, as it has been discontinued for manufacture in one of the many years following its initial General Electric release. While a now-obsolete legacy product series, this DS2020LPPA340A device's greater Mark V Turbine Control System Series is still identifiable as something of a well-updated product series, as it has exists as one of the final General Electric product series to make use of the brand's patented Speedtronic control system technology first introduced alongside the rollout of the Mark I Series in the later 1960s. This DS2020LPPA340A PCB is not the original product of its specific Mark V Product Series functional role, as evidenced by its DS2020LPPA340A functional product number's possession of a trailing A revision-indicating digit.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
As with any Mark V Turbine Control System Series product made available to our new and reconditioned inventory here, this DS2020LPPA340A PCB's intended functionality is adopted through its internal assembly's adoption of a unique series of hardware components and component specifications. The GE Line Protection Board DS2020LPPA340A features 7 jumpers and 2 terminal blocks with 3 terminals on each. The jumpers are identified as JP1 through JP7. The GE Line Protection Board DS2020LPPA340A also contains test points. The board is installed on standoffs on another component of the drive and the board serves as a daughter card to the other component. The signal wires that connect to the board originate on the other component. Given this DS2020LPPA340A printed circuit board's attribution to a now-obsolete legacy product series, this DS2020LPPA340A is not surrounded with a plethora of originally-printed instructional manual materials. With this in mind, the DS2020LPPA340A functional product number itself can be considered a strong primary source of DS2020LPPA340A Board hardware component and component specification information, coding for various DS2020LPPA340A board details in a series of functional naming chunks. For example, the DS2020LPPA340A functional product number begins with the dual-functional DS2020 series tag detailing this DS2020LPPA340A Module's special Mark V Series assembly version as well as its domestic location of original manufacture. Some of the other hardware details revealed through the DS2020LPPA340A functional product number include this DS2020LPPA340A Device's:
- LPPA functional product abbreviation
- 340 style of PCB protection
- A-rated functional product revision
The test points on the GE Line Protection Board DS2020LPPA340A can help isolate and pinpoint any defects on the board. To diagnose any problems you have to first run the diagnostic program available on the drive. Use the keypad to access the user interface accessible from the keypad. The control panel also features a display that provides information and enables you to make selections. Select the diagnostics tools. You will find a history of all errors and warning associated with the drive. Also reported is the health of the components. If the diagnostics indicate that a problem exists with the board, the test points are useful for testing the specific circuits. The information that came with the board describes the circuits the test points enable you to test. The test points have IDs and the IDs use E as the prefix. The suffix is a number. For example, E1, E3, and E8 are IDs for some of the test points. Touch the testing device probes to the test points and the readings generated by the current indicate the health of the circuit. Before making any final purchase decision on this DS2020LPPA340A modular assembly, it is crucial to consider the fact that its originally-introduced performance specifications and dimensions have definitely been altered through its special Mark V Series assembly's attachment of an A-rated functional product revision.
