DS200LDCCH1AHA

About the DS200LDCCH1AHA

• The DS200LDCCH1AHA is a drive control and LAN (local area network) communications board manufactured by General Electric.
• It's a component of the Mark V Turbine Control System series, suitable for installation in DIRECTO-MATIC 2000 exciters and drives.
• The Mark V Series has applications in managing and controlling wind, steam, and gas turbine automated drive assemblies.
• Despite some alternative energy applications, the Mark V Series is an obsolete legacy series, with production discontinued years after its initial release.
• It's highly regarded in the industrial marketplace as one of the final GE Mark series to use their patented Speedtronic control system technology.
• The DS200LDCCH1AHA is not the original product for this functionality; the DS200LDCCH1 parent board preceded it, lacking the DS200LDCCH1AHA's three significant product revisions.

Hardware Tips and Specifications

• The card provides various I/O control and drive function services to the host drive.
• It houses four microprocessors:
  • LAN Control Processor (LCP): Accepts five different bus systems.
  • Drive Control Processor (DCP): Converts analog and digital I/O signals, and converts incoming I/O from peripheral devices (encoders, timers).
  • Motor Control Processor (MCP): Processes digital I/O signals.
  • Co-Motor Processor (CMP): Provides additional processing power for strenuous calculations.
• An alphanumeric programming keypad is attached for easy access to board diagnostics and error codes.
• Reset options for the board include:
  • A pushable RESET pushbutton.
  • Acceptance of a +5-24 V DC voltage via the 30-pin 6PL connector.
  • Programmed software controls.
  • Automatic internal hardware watchdog protection.
• Soft resets can be performed through programming alteration or using a Mark V Series Programmer Module's reset key.
• A stab connection is available for common reference to LAN interface boards, providing stiffening in high-noise environments.
• Onboard testpoints are available for functional fault diagnosis before performing hard resets.
• Software selections include six flash PROM Modules for configuration data and an EEPROM Module for field-adjustable parameters.
• Parameters are downloaded using drive configuration tools, likely the Mark V Series-standardized I/O Configuration editor.

Shipping, Installation, and Support

• All boards from AX Control arrive in protective static-reducing plastic wrapping.
• Before installation, users should review all manufacturer-provided installation parameters.
• A complete wiring guide is available in the series manual and the board’s datasheet.
• General Electric originally provided technical support for all Mark V series members.
• AX Control's sales staff is available by phone or email to provide pricing and other information for the DS200LDCCH1AHA or any other parts/repairs.
