Product Description
The DS200GGXAG1ADB is a GE Mark V printed circuit board made to be used within the Mark V Speedtronic system. The MKV was a later iteration of the Speedtronic line, which was developed by GE for the management of gas, wind and steam turbines. This control system features available online maintenance, built-in diagnostics, and an architecture that can be set up in either Simplex or TMR form to meet the needs of the associated turbine, powered by the Speedtronic technology first offered alongside the original rollout of the Mark I Series in the later 1960s. As a Mark V Legacy Series product, the DS200GGXAG1ADB is no longer manufactured by GE but can be purchased from AX Control as a reconditioned and fully tested unit. This DS200GGXAG1ADB printed circuit board or PCB for short is better-definable by its full functional product description as a GTO Distribution Board, which appears in the product's original instructional manual materials unfortunately not available on the internet. While definable as a Mark V Turbine Control System Legacy Series product offering, this DS200GGXAG1ADB PCB is not the original device of its intended functionality to exist within this series; that would be the DS200GGXAG1 GTO Distribution Board missing all three of this DS200GGXAG1ADB product's three significant product revisions.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
The DS200GGXAG1ADB is a GTO Distribution Board/High Voltage board that is most often used within the AC2000 auxiliary system, a subseries of the greater Mark V Turbine Control System Series. This board has over ten stab-on connectors on its surface as well as four vertical pin cable connectors, two header connectors, as well as fourteen paired right-angle high-speed connectors located on one board edge. The DS200GGXAG1ADB also has transistors, a heat sink, a transformer, six resistor network arrays, at least ten integrated circuits, and sixteen jumper switches. The DS200GGXAG1ADB board uses CCR and metal film resistors, diodes, and several kinds of capacitors, including ceramic disk capacitors for voltage resistance and storage purposes. Individual board components in the assembly of this DS200GGXAG1ADB PCB are marked with a reference designator and/or their original manufacturer number to make identification simple, and should be at least somewhat protected by the thick layer of PCB protection offered by this DS200GGXAG1ADB device's normal style of PCB coating.
The above information represents about the extend of original DS200GGXAG1ADB GTO Distribution Board hardware specification information available online in product-pertinent instructional manual materials. Due to this sudden lapse in original manufacturer-produced instructional manual materials, the DS200GGXAG1ADB functional product number itself can be identified as a strong source of hardware specification information for this DS200GGXAG1ADB PCB. The DS200GGXAG1ADB functional product number begins with the DS200 series tag holding dual naming responsibilities for this DS200GGXAG1ADB product. The DS200 series tag in the DS200GGXAG1ADB functional product number reveals this DS200GGXAG1ADB PCB to be a normal assembly Mark V Turbine Control System Series product that was domestically manufactured by General Electric. The DS200 series tag in the DS200GGXAG1ADB functional product number is shrugged for an instance of the GGXA functional product abbreviation, which was created with the intention of existing as a convenient conversational or promotional shorthand alternative to the lengthy DS200GGXAG1ADB functional product number. This GGXA functional acronym itself is followed by another dual-functional DS200GGXAG1ADB product number component with the G1 series grouping tag, which is responsible for the identification of this DS200GGXAG1ADB PCB's normal style of PCB coating and its attribution to the first grouping of Mark V Turbine Control System Series products. The A,D, and B letters at the very tail end of the DS200GGXAG1ADB functional product number are reminiscent of this DS200GGXAG1ADB PCB's three significant product revisions, rated at A, D, and B grades.
