About the DS200DPCAG1ADB
As detailed in loosely online-available originally-printed instructional manual materials, this DS200DPCAG1ADB General Electric printed circuit board product offering was originally manufactured for a specific functional placement in the Mark V Turbine Control System Series automated drive assembly as a DC Power Connect Card. The Mark V Series that this DS200DPCAG1ADB printed circuit board or PCB for short belongs to has a series of specific applications in the control and management systems of popular and compatible wind, steam, and gas turbine automated drive assemblies, and it must be considered a legacy product series; given the fact that its production was discontinued due to a manufacturer-identified functional series obsolescence in one of the many years past its initial conception. While obsolete as a whole, this DS200DPCAG1ADB DC Power Connect Card's greater Mark V Series still attracts something of a niche demand on the greater automated industrial marketplace, as it is one of the final-developed GE Mark product series to make use of the patented Speedtronic control system technology first seen with the rollout of the initial Mark I Series in the mid to later 1960s.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
The DS200DPCAG1ADB board functions as a DC power connect card that works in conjunction with the Mark V turbine control system. This is a GE system, designed specifically for the management and control of industrial steam and gas turbines. The DS200DPCAG1ADB is a long, narrow board that has been factory drilled at each corner and along the long board edges. These holes are ringed with conductive materials, and are used to offer mounting support options. The board is marked with several codes including wiring and location codes, and also carries the GE logo. Given this DS200DPCAG1ADB DC power connect card's Mark V Legacy Series attribution, it is not surrounded by any great wealth of originally-printed instructional manual materials online. With this being the truth, the DS200DPCAG1ADB functional product number can be considered a primary source of DS200DPCAG1ADB Board hardware information for this DS200DPCAG1ADB personalized product page; as it codes for various DS200DPCAG1ADB Board details in a series of consecutive functional naming elements. For instance, the DS200DPCAG1ADB functional product number begins with the dual-functional DS200 series tag delegating this DS200DPCAG1ADB device's normal Mark V Series assembly as well as its domestic original manufacture location. Some of the other relevant hardware information revealed through the DS200DPCAG1ADB functional product number includes this DS200DPCAG1ADB PCB's:
- DPCA functional product acronym
- Normal PCB coating style
- Group one Mark V Series product grouping
- Three-fold revision history
Components on the board include several small terminal blocks, stab-on connectors that allow for surface wiring connections, a switch component, vertical pin connectors, and a jumper switch. There are four 26-pin connectors used for ribbon cables. These carry signals to/from the drive or other components within the drive. Make sure to handle all ribbon cables carefully as the wires on the cables can easily break. The best practice is to remove or insert the ribbon cable using the plastic connector at its end rather than the ribbon cable. Do this by holding the end connector and aligning it with the board connector. Press it into the connector. When removing, hold the edges of the cable’s connector with your fingers and pull gently until it disconnects from the board. Do not pull from the ribbon cable. The board also has a 250V fuse located close to a short board edge. For more details, please refer to General Electric Mark V manuals and user guides. This particular DS200DPCAG1ADB printed circuit board is actually not the originally-produced product of its specific Mark V Series functional role; that would be the DS200DPCAG1 parnet DC Power Connect Board missing this DS200DPCAG1ADB device's three significant product revisions.
