About the GEN450A-001
The GEN450A-001 is a component from GE Drive Systems. It exists specifically as a display panel product used in conjunction with the company’s Mark V turbine control system. The Mark V is one of a series of turbine control systems that began with the Mark I in the late 1960s and continued through to the 2000s with the Mark VI and Mark VIe. These systems were designed to offer reliable management and control for industrial gas and steam turbine systems, as evidenced by the full Mark V Series extended series title as the Mark V Turbine Control System Series. The GE Drive Systems manufacturer that this GEN450A-001 control panel product was originally manufactured by simply exists as a shell company of the greater General Electric automated industrial retailer. While the specialized GEN450A-001 control panel product number attributed to this GEN450A-001 product offering is not officially broken down in online-existing Mark V Series instructional literature, it would seem to point to a possible revision version manifested in this GEN450A-001 product, as indicated by the trailing 001 tag in the GEN450A-001 functional product number.

While a General Electric product, this GEN450A-001 LCB Screen and Keypad Device does not possess the functional alphanumeric product number that is seen in so many other Mark V Series products, as it is a specialized component and not a printed circuit board. With this being said, it is commonly referred to by the GEN acronym present in its GEN450A-001 official product number.
