About the 531X309SPCAHG1

General Electric designed the 531X309SPCAHG1 a signal processor card for the 531X series. As 531X boards are replacement parts, this card can fit into a number of drives manufactured by GE. Once installed, the card processes any I/O received by the LAN control board as well as the drive control board. A number of helpful features included on the 531X309SPCAHG1 board can help to improve drive function. Interfacing capabilities with external encoders and tachometers is available when using this card. Once received by the card, supply speed feedbacks from connected peripheral devices are sent to the control board. When installed, the card converts the three current reference and the voltage level signals into voltage reference signals. Once converted, these signals are then sent to the device’s integrated motor control processor. Other signals that can be accepted by the card include RS-422 serial signals. When received, the serial signals are processed by the card and sent to the motor control processor. Configurability is an integral part of the overall board design. A number of configurable options exist for the 531X309SPCAHG1 006/04 Signal Process Board including

• signal filters
• biases
• gains
• onboard jumpers
• switches
• potentiometers

Following all provided parameters regarding installation is key to preserving the integrity of the board. These will ensure that the 531X309SPCAHG1 signal processor card and its drive operate as intended. Only personnel who are trained to handle drive boards should be allowed to install this card. To ensure wiring is done correctly, please refer to the device’s manual and datasheet. Technical support for the 531X signal processing card was originally provided by the manufacturer, General Electric.
