About the DS215MSTCG5AZZ01A
The DS215MSTCG5AZZ01A is a printed circuit board component fabricated by GE, for their Mark V Turbine Control System Series, as referenced earlier. As you have surely been able to tell based off of its full extended series name, the Mark V Series that this DS215MSTCG5AZZ01A Modular Assembly can be attributed to has specific applications in the management and control systems of compatible and popular wind, steam, and gas turbine automated drive assemblies. The Mark V Series that this DS215MSTCG5AZZ01A printed circuit board belongs to, while commonly attributable to newer-developed alternative energy applications, must still be classified as a now-obsolete legacy product series given its eventual manufacturing discontinuation that took place in many of the years following its initial release. With that being true, the DS215MSTCG5AZZ01A Modular Assembly Device's greater Mark V Series is still something of a desirable General Electric product series, given the fact that it exists as one of the final General Electric Mark product series to make use of the company's patented Speedtronic control system technology.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
This circuit board is typically used within the EX2000 excitation unit connected to the GE Mark V Speedtronic gas/steam turbine control system. The EX2000 is an excitation system using digital control that varies the output of the main generator using a microprocessor-based voltage regulating system. The connected MKV was one of GE’s later versions of their popular Speedtronic line, which began in the 1960s with the Mark I. While components for the MKV are no longer produced by the original equipment manufacturer, they are available from the AX Control inventory fully tested by our in-house technicians. This DS215MSTCG5AZZ01A printed circuit board is not the original product of its specific intended Mark V Series functionality; that would be the DS215MSTCG5 printed circuit board notably missing this DS215MSTCG5AZZ01A PCB's attached optional firmware package as well as its singular A-rated functional product revision. Unfortunately, this DS215MSTCG5AZZ01A PCB is only definable as a Circuit Board with Firmware, given a low general availability of its originally-printed instructional manual materials that came with its legacy series attribution. Given this lack of original instructional manual materials, the DS215MSTCG5AZZ01A functional product number itself can be considered a primary source of DS215MSTCG5AZZ01A Board hardware component and component specification details; coding for these in a series of consecutive functional naming chunks. For example, the initial DS215 series tag in the DS215MSTCG5AZZ01A functional product number reveals this modular assembly's special DS215 assembly version as well as its domestic original manufacture location. Some of the other relevant hardware details revealed through the DS215MSTCG5AZZ01A functional product number include this DS215MSTCG5AZZ01A PCB's:
- MSTC functional product abbreviation
- Group 5 Mark V Series product grouping
- Normal PCB coating style
- A-rated functional product revision
- Optional firmware package
The DS215MSTCG5AZZ01A is fitted with two sets of standoffs to allow two optional auxiliary boards to be added to the motherboard if desired. The primary board is drilled at each corner to allow for mounting and is marked along its edges with letters/numbers to ease alignment. The DS215MSTCG5AZZ01A is primarily populated by integrated circuits. This includes multiple field programmable gate arrays and EPROMs, as well as ICs designed to perform other tasks. Most ICs are marked on their upper surface with their original manufacturing codes for simple identification. Other board components include resistor network arrays, jumper switches, LED indicators, and various board connectors like vertical pin cable connectors and vertical header connectors. Technical support publications received with your OEM purchase will have additional information. This will include products like data sheets, user guides, and product manuals. GE provided the original technical support for MKV circuit boards.
