Product Description
The DS215TCCBG3AZZ01A is a GE Common Extended Analog I/O Board (TCCB) originally manufactured, as described above, by General Electric, for insertion in their Mark V Turbine Control System Series. As evidenced by its full extended series name, the Mark V Series that this DS215TCCBG3AZZ01A printed circuit board product offering belongs to has specific applications in the management and control systems of compatible and popular wind, steam, or gas turbine automated drive assemblies. This DS215TCCBG3AZZ01A printed circuit board or PCB for short's greater Mark V Series has to be considered a legacy product series, as it has been discontinued due to obsolescence in one of the many years following its initial release. With this being true, the Mark V Turbine Control System Series is still something of a highly sought-after General Electric product series, as it exists as one of the final General Electric product series to make use of the company's patented Speedtronic control system technology first introduced with the release of the Mark I Series in the mid to later 1960s. This DS215TCCBG3AZZ01A printed circuit board product offering was not the originally-produced device of its specific Mark V Series functionality; that would be the DS215TCCBG3 parent printed circuit board missing this DS215TCCBG3AZZ01A PCB's A-rated functional revision and optional software package.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
The software for DS215TCCBG3AZZ01A can be configured. The TCCB card is in location 3 on the TC2000 <C> core. It is specifically labeled “Turbine Control <C> Micro Application Card B” and it is only meant to handle alarm, communication, and indication. When configuring the DS215TCCBG3AZZ01A, it has the ability to fully define the <C> core functions RTDs, milliamp inputs, and the filtering of those RTDs and milliamp inputs. The DS215TCCBG3AZZ01A has four main jumpers that provide a few different functions. Jumper J2 is normally enabled but when it is disabled it disables the serial RS-232 port. The BJ1, BJ2, and BJ3 jumpers should all be inserted to provide normal operation and should be in the out position to test the card. When they are in the in position, they enable the oscillator. As with any Mark V Turbine Control System Series product available here, this DS215TCCBG3AZZ01A printed circuit board is not available in internet-ready research materials; given its attribution to a now-obsolete General Electric Legacy product series. With this being the case, the General Electric-formulated DS215TCCBG3AZZ01A functional product number itself can be considered a strong primary source of important DS215TCCBG3AZZ01A Board information; coding for different details in a series of consecutive functional naming chunks. For example, the DS215TCCBG3AZZ01A functional product number begins with the dual-functional DS215 series tag delegating this DS215TCCBG3AZZ01A PCB's special Mark V Series assembly and its domestic original manufacture location. Some of the other specifications revealed through the DS215TCCBG3AZZ01A functional product number itself include this DS215TCCBG3AZZ01A PCB's:
- TCCB functional product abbreviation
- Group three Mark V Series product grouping
- Normal PCB coating style
- A-rated functional product revision
- Optional software package
Another dual-functional naming chunks of the DS215TCCBG3AZZ01A functional product number exists as its G3 series grouping tag, which groups this DS215TCCBG3AZZ01A I/O Board in the third grouping of Mark V Series products and as a normally-coated GE printed circuit board. The DS215TCCBG3AZZ01A is a part of the I/O control system in a Mark V LM system. It has the ability to be mounted to a panel within a Turbine Control cabinet. There are up to four different sections of I/O control systems within the cabinet. In a section of I/O control, there are 9 slots that can be taken up or left blank. The DS215TCCBG3AZZ01A takes up one of the smaller slots within the section. When mounting this board, be sure to wear an antistatic wristband to prevent any type of static damage to the board’s circuitry. This cabinet should only be used in an indoor environment and should be kept in a clean, dry environment. Before making any ultimate purchase decision on this DS215TCCBG3AZZ01A product offering, it is important to considered that its originally-introduced performance specifications and dimensions have surely been altered through its special Mark V Series assembly's inclusion of an A-rated functional product revision and an optional software package.
