About the DS2020LPPA341A
This DS2020LPPA341A Line Protection Board, as mentioned before, was originally manufactured by the respected industrial giant retailer General Electric, specifically for use in their Mark V Series of turbine control systems. This DS2020LPPA341A Line Protection Board in particular is special, as it possesses both a DS2020-signified special assembly version and a special 341 style of protective printed circuit board coating.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
The GE Line Protection Board DS2020LPPA341A features 7 jumpers and 2 terminal blocks with 3 terminals on each, in order to achieve its intended functionality. The jumpers are identified as JP1 through JP7. The GE Line Protection Board DS2020LPPA341A also contains test points. The board is installed on standoffs on another component of the drive. The board is 3.5 inches by 7 inches and the screw holes in each corner are made to align with the standoffs.
The GE Line Protection Board DS2020LPPA341A is a daughter card to the other Mark V Series component and provides valuable processing functionality. The signal wires that connect the board come directly from the other component. Some of the signal wires transmit signals to the component while other signal wires receive information from the component. The DS2020LPPA341A board processes the signals from the components and transmits the resulting signals back to the component.
The 40-pin connector in the internal assembly of this DS2020LPPA341A Board attaches to a ribbon cable that connects the board to other functional areas of the drive. Before you remove the old board, notice how the ribbon cable is routed in the interior of the drive. It is routed a particular way to lessen the opportunity for interference with power cables in the drive. The power cables can corrupt the signals, if not installed properly. The DS2020LPPA341A Line Protection Board's ribbon cable is routed to separate the signal cable and the power cables. When you install the replacement DS2020LPPA341A board, rout the ribbon cable following the same route, to ensure sufficient spacing and temperature control for the greater Mark V Series drive system.
