About the DS200ACNAG1ABB

The DS200ACNAG1ABB is an ARCNET board manufactured by General Electric. It is designed for use within GE's patented Mark V turbine control systems.

The Mark V is a TMR (triple modular redundant) control system for industrial turbines. The Mark V Series is one of the more recently-developed GE series to incorporate patented Speedtronic technology. This specific board is not the original Mark V Series ARCNET board; it includes three significant product revisions that alter it from the original DS200ACNAG1 ARCNET Board.

Hardware Tips and Specifications

The DS200ACNAG1ABB establishes connections between the system’s regulator and ARCNET data. Connections are made using coaxial cables; the board can terminate two such cables.

It is a very small board component, featuring:

• Two BNC connectors extending past the top edge.
• Two insulated grounding holes (one near each short board edge) for protection against surface voltages or static electricity.
• A single vertical 6-pin connector in the center.
• GE logo, wiring codes, and reference designations.
• Two relays with diagrams on their upper surfaces.
• Typical voltage-limiting hardware components: transistors, integrated circuits, resistors, capacitors, and diodes.

Conventional ARCNET systems, including this model, operate at 2.5 Mbps, limiting their effective size to under four miles to avoid extended timeouts between nodes.

The board has two functional product revisions (A and B-rated) and a single artwork configuration revision (B-rated), which may impact original performance specifications and dimensions. Its DS200ACNAG1ABB functional product number reveals a normal Mark V Series assembly type and a normal style of PCB coating.
