DS200LDCCH1AFA

About the DS200LDCCH1AFA

• The DS200LDCCH1AFA is a drive control local area network (LAN) communications board developed by General Electric.
• It is a component of the Mark V Turbine Control System drive board series.
• These cards interface well with GE’s DIRECTO-MATIC 2000 exciters and drives.
• The board provides functions to the host drive, including I/O, device, and motor control functions.
• The Mark V Series has applications in the management and control systems of steam, gas, and wind turbine automated drive assemblies.
• Despite its alternative energy focus, the Mark V Series is an obsolete legacy product series, discontinued by GE.
• The Mark V Series is notable as one of the final GE Mark product series to use the patented Speedtronic control system technology, first seen with the Mark I Series in the late 1960s.
• The DS200LDCCH1AFA is not the original product for its intended Mark V Series functional role; that would be the DS200LDCCH1 parent LAN Communications Board, which lacks the DS200LDCCH1AFA's three significant product revisions.

Hardware Tips and Specifications

• The DS200LDCCH1AFA is accurately described as a printed circuit card (LAN Communications Card) due to its small stature.
• Onboard software is stored in six flash PROM modules (for configuration data) and an EEPROM component (for field-adjustable parameters).
• It houses four microprocessors:
  • Drive Control Processor (DCP): Performs digital and analog I/O conversions and controls peripheral I/O devices.
  • LAN Control Processor (LCP): Accepts five different bus LAN systems.
  • Motor Control Processor (MCP): Processes digital I/O communications.
  • Co-Motor Processor (CMP): Provides additional processing speed for complex calculations.
• A GE programmer keyboard is included on the board for direct user access to system diagnostics and error codes.
• This DS200LDCCH1AFA is compatible with up to five different bus systems:
  • DLAN+: GE’s ARCNET®-based drive LAN protocol.
  • DLAN: GE’s drive LAN for smaller and earlier larger drives.
  • Genius® bus: Via an interface board (e.g., DS200ADGI).
  • CPL (Control Party Line) serial link: Via an interface board (e.g., DS200ADCI).
  • C-bus: A parallel differential bus, via an interface board (e.g., DS200ADCI).

Shipping, Installation, and Support

• Any part shipped by AX Control will be protected by a standard static cling plastic wrapping.
• Before removing the board, review all installation parameters provided by the manufacturer.
• Wiring instructions are available in the series manual and device datasheet.
• General Electric originally provided technical support for all Mark V series members.
• AX Control's trained sales staff is available via phone or email for pricing information for the DS200LDCCH1AFA or other parts/repairs.
