Product Description

The GE Digital Signal Processor Control Board DS200DSPCH1A provides processing capacity and communications bandwidth for direct control of high performance drives and other power converter applications. The GE Digital Signal Processor Control Board DS200DSPCH1A features expandable local I/O for direct interface to control signals.  The faceplate of the board contains indicator LEDs that  shot the status of the processing activity. One green LED indicates that the board is functioning properly when lit. One red LED indicates that the VME bus has failed when lit. The remaining four LEDs are programmed for use by software applications. The four LEDs are amber.

To replace the board you must first remove all power from the drive. It is best practice to ask an individual who is familiar with the installation for information about the power connections to the drive, if you don’t have that information. This is to ensure that all power is removed and to avoid safety concerns and damage to components.

Examine the board and note all cables connected to the board. Use labels to make notes about the cables and the connector to which the cables are connected. Only then should you disconnect the cables. This will make connecting the replacement board quick and easy and reduce the opportunity for connecting the cables to the wrong connectors.

The ribbon cable is secured in the connector with release tabs on the side of the connector. Press in on the tabs to release the connector and pull out the connector.
