Product Description
The DOS DUP Processor Board DS200DMCBG1ABA is a drive assembly component manufactured by GE Industrial Systems for the Mark V series. This particular PCB or Printed Circuit Board is modified by the inclusion of three revisions; two functional revisions and a singular artwork revision. The DS200DMCBG1ABA has a Functional Revision 1 rated at an A grade, a Functional Revision 2 rated at a B grade, as well as an Artwork Revision rated at an A. These three revisions may alter the dimensions and functionality of this PCB greatly from the original manual-defined specifications, so be cautious before making a purchase of this DS200DMCBG1ABA product.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
Many components make up the DS200DMCBG1ABA board; some of the components on the board are jumpers, of which there are nineteen in total. This board, commonly abbreviated in industy circles as DMCB, also possesses a series of differing connector types. There are four separate pin connectors, three of the connectors are twenty-six pins, with the remaining connector being a forty-pin connector. There are also two LEDs on the board, included to display functioning circuit board processing or potential functional fault conditions. All of the aforementioned components on the board are taken from a visual inspection, with the following replacement process borrowed from previous knowledge of General Electric products. This is due to something of a lack in available manual material online for the DS200DMCBG1ABA.
For more information regarding this board, its function, and how to mount it into the system, a breakdown of its individualized part number may be relevant. For example, this product's DS200 portion of the DS200DMCBG1ABA part number designates it as a product manufactured by General Electric in the U.S.A. Further down on the DS200DMCBG1ABA, the functional acronym DMCB makes an appearance. Finally, this DOS DUP Processor Board's "ABA" final portion of the product number describes its three-fold revision history; a functional revision 1 of A, a functional revision 2 of B, and an artwork revision also rated at an A. A more in-depth, diagrammed part number breakdown for the DS200DMCBG1ABA is available above in the "manuals" tab for your convenience.
One final mentionable hardware specification pertinent to this DS200DMCBG1ABA model printed circuit board is the inclusion of an RS-232 port. This port is included on this DMCB module's base plate for the uploading and downloading of relevant EEPROM configuration information. Additional functionality of the DS200DMCBG1ABA's RS-232 port is to acquire runtime information for the PCB's greater assembly's on-line Diagnostic Tool Utilities. More information about this RS-232 port is available through our "manuals" tab attached above.
Installation Tips and Specifications
While a relatively unknown model of PCB, this model is most likely used as a replacement model in the Mark V system. When installing the board is for use as a replacement unit, it is best to power down the entire system before attempting removal of the defective board. When the old board has been removed, the new replacement board and its available jumpers should be adjusted to match the jumpers on the old board; if the jumpers on the new board do not match the jumpers on the replacement board, it can cause potential errors and malfunctions in the drive assembly system. Everything on the DS200DMCBG1ABA replacement board must be connected back into the greater drive assembly the way it was previously connected and mounted to ensure no faults occur during normative functioning.
