About the DS200KLDBG1A
The DS200KLDBG1A is a Mark V Turbine Control System Series board component fabricated by GE. The Mark V was one of the later Speedtronic systems to be created and distributed by GE for the management of gas or steam turbine systems; with its patented Speedtronic control system technology first released to the general public with the rollout of the initial Mark I Series in the later 1960s. The Mark V Series that this DS200KLDBG1A printed circuit board or PCB for short belongs to, as hinted at by its full extended series name, has a selection of specific applications in the control and management systems of popular and compatible steam, gas, and even wind turbine control and management systems. With this being the case, this DS200KLDBG1A printed circuit board's greater Mark V Series must be considered generally defunct, as it does exist as a legacy General Electric product series discontinued due to a manufacturer-identified functional series obsolescence in one of the many years past its original Mark Series rollout.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
The DS200KLDBG1A is primarily used within the EX2000 subsystem and can be purchased here at AX Control as either a liquidated new-used unit or a reconditioned used board. The DS200KLDBG1A functions as a Display board. This is a rectangular board with factory-made drill holes located in each corner and in the middle of each edge. These holes allow for the mounting of specific hardware like screws to mount the board within the unit, or standoffs to mount other components to the board’s surface. The board is marked with several codes, with the GE logo, and with reference designators. Given this DS200KLDBG1A Mark V product's status as a legacy series product offering, it should come as not great surprise to see that this DS200KLDBG1A PCB is not surrounded by any great wealth of originally-pertinent instructional manual documentation online. With this being the case, the DS200KLDBG1A functional product number becomes a primary source of DS200KLDBG1A Board hardware component information; coding for specific details in a series of functional, consecutive functional naming chunks. For instance, the DS200KLDBG1A functional product number begins with the dual-functional DS200 series tag attributing this DS200KLDBG1A Board's normal Mark V Series assembly as well as its domestic original manufacture location. Some of the other relevant hardware details revealed in the DS200KLDBG1A functional product number include this DS200KLDBG1A PCB's:
- KLDB functional product acronym
- Normal PCB coating style
- Group one Mark V Series product grouping
- Single product revision
The DS200KLDBG1A has seven LED sixteen-segment displays that display numerical information. These are lined up on the board in two lines of three with the seventh display located below the left side of the second line. Below these displays, the board has a field of individual lights interspersed with integrated circuits and resistor network arrays. The majority of integrated circuits are located in the bottom left corner of the board; this includes several FPGAs or Field Programmable Gate Arrays and oscillating chips. Other components include vertical pin cable connectors, jumper switches, resistors, capacitors (electrolytic and ceramic,) and diodes; most of these hardware components exist as Mark V Series-standardized hardware components included in this DS200KLDBG1A PCB's normal Mark V Series assembly for various voltage suppression reasons. For a more thorough description of the board and its components please use technical support products like GE user guides and manuals. This DS200KLDBG1A printed circuit board product offering from General Electric does not mount in the standard VME Rack Mounting Assembly as many Mark V Series products tend to; instead it utilizes several factory-drilled installation holes in its normal Mark V Series assembly. Each one of these factory-drilled installation hole has been ringed with an insulated material in observance of potentially-present damaging surface voltages. This DS200TBCBG1AAA device's normal style of PCB coating is much thicker than the less commonly-seen conformal PCB coating alternative, although it must be said that it is much less extensive in terms of its overall coverage. This DS200TBCBG1AAA product's three revisions, while seemingly identical, actually exist as separate styles of Mark V Series product revisions, in the form of both functional and artwork configuration revisions.
