Product Description
This DS200IOEAG1A printed circuit board product offering exists as a member of General Electric's Mark V Turbine Control System Series, as mentioned earlier. This DS200IOEAG1A printed circuit board or PCB for short's Mark V Series, as you can probably tell by its extended name, has specific applications in the control and management systems of compatible wind, steam, and gas turbine automated drive assemblies, and is one of the final General Electric Mark product series to feature the patented Speedtronic technology first released alongside the rollout of the Mark I in the later 1960s. The Mark V Series that this DS200IOEAG1A product offering belongs to is additionally considered a General Electric legacy series, as its manufacture has been discontinued in the years following its initial release.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
The General Electric I/O Expansion Board DS200IOEAG1A features five 26-pin connectors and a pair of 40-pin connectors. The GE I/O Expansion Board DS200IOEAG1A also is populated with 3 PROM connectors identified as C6, C7, and C8. The PROM modules on the GE I/O Expansion Board DS200IOEAG1A store the drive parameters which control the behavior of the drive while in use. Given this DS200IOEAG1A I/O or Input/Output Expansion Board's static-sensitive status, it should come as no real surprise to see all of the voltage-limiting hardware components that have been adopted into its assembly. For starters, this DS200IOEAG1A product offering makes use of a number of Mark V Series-standardized components of this nature, including various diodes, rectifiers, capacitors, and integrated circuits in its surge suppression strategy. This DS200IOEAG1A PCB is ensured additional insulation and voltage protection through use of its normal style of PCB protective coating, which is made obvious in the DS200IOEAG1A functional product number itself. Given this DS200IOEAG1A device's low availability of original instructional manual materials, the DS200IOEAG1A functional product number is a good source of product-specific hardware information, revealing this DS200IOEAG1A Board's:
- Normal style of Mark V Series assembly
- Domestic location of original manufacture
- IOEA functional product acronym
- Normal style of PCB coating
- Group one Mark V Series grouping
- A-rated functional product revision
When you replace the board you can avoid reconfiguring the drive by simply moving this DS200IOEAG1A PCB's PROM modules from the defective board to the replacement board. However, there are several considerations to keep in mind. The PROMs are particularly sensitive to static electricity, which can, for example, corrupt the files contained on the PROM modules. To prevent that from happening, you must follow some guidelines. When you are prepared to replace the board you must employ the use of a wrist strap and have one end attached to a metal surface. The allows the static from building up on the board by providing a means for the static to drain to the grounded metal object. Before you remove the defective DS200IOEAG1A board, have a static protective bag flattened out on a work surface and place the board on it. Keep the replacement board in the sealed bag in which you received it. Then, open it and remove the new board. Hold it only by the side edges to keep from being warped or causing components to break off. Place it next to the defective board on the protective bag before attempting any installation. This has just been a short sample of the much-larger DS200IOEAG1A Board installation procedure available in its original instructional manual materials.
