531X135PRGAJM1--Program board

The 531X135PRGAJM1 is a board component made by General Electric to fit into one of several of their general purpose drive systems like the DC-300 drive and other like drives.  While many of these drives are now considered obsolete, they were designed by GE as dynamic and adaptable systems capable of completing a wide variety of industrial tasks.

The 531X135PRGAJM1 functions as a Program Board.  It has codes such as 0787, and is factory drilled multiple times around its edges. This PCB is typically covered by a faceplate designed with a keypad with sixteen press buttons, including numerical keys from zero to nine.   The faceplate connects to the PCB using four screw connections. This board often mounts to a larger motherboard.

The 531X135PRGAJM1 has four jumper switches, several transistors, three resistor network arrays, and six integrated circuits.  ICs are usually marked with manufacturer codes for quick identification of their type and use.

Other components used on the 531X135PRGAJM1 include a ten-digit alphanumeric display.  This component is placed on the board parallel to one of the short edges of the board. When the corresponding faceplate is attached to the board, this display is still exposed.   The board also has various resistors, capacitors, and diodes. There is a single female vertical pin connector located just below the alphanumeric display and a right-angled cable connector located on the bottom edge of the board.  A more complete description of the board that includes such things as installation instructions and handling procedures may be found through manufacturer publications like user guides, data sheets, and manuals.
