About the DS200LDCCH1ALA
General Electric manufactured the DS200LDCCH1ALA board as a drive control and local area network (LAN) communications card. This card was developed as a member of the Mark V Turbine Control System series of drive boards. The Mark V Series that this DS200LDCCH1ALA PCB was originally manufactured for has specific applications in the control and management systems of compatible and popular wind, gas, and steam turbine automated drive assemblies, as referenced in the full extended series name previously mentioned. This DS200LDCCH1ALA PCB's greater Mark V Series, while pertinent to some newly-developed alternative energy applications, still has to be considered obsolete as a whole, as it exists as a legacy product series discontinued for manufacture due to a manufacturer-identified functional series obsolescence. This DS200LDCCH1ALA LAN Communications/Drive Control Card's greater Mark V Series is still something of a highly-sought GE product series, as it exists as one of the final-developed product series to make use of the patented Speedtronic control system technology first seen with the release of the initial Mark I Series in the later 1960s.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
Drives across the DIRECTO-MATIC 2000 series are developed to have this card installed in its drive cabinet. An array of functions are provided by this board, such as device, motor, and I/O control functions. This drive control and LAN communications board features four microprocessors to filter card signals. Digital and analog I/O sent to the board is received and filtered with the onboard drive control processor (DCP). LAN systems fed to the drive are filtered through the LAN control processor (LCP) found on board. The remaining two processors, the motor control processor (MCP) and the co-motor processor (CMP), work in tandem with each other. The MCP provides the initial processing space for digital I/O communications. Should the calculations needed by the signal exceed the space power provided by the MCP, the CMP will supplement the processing power. The board is completed with an attachable alphanumeric keypad. Products purchased through AX Control will be shipped in a protective static resistant plastic bag. The board should only be removed once all manufacturer provided installation parameters have been reviewed. Refer to the series manual and the device datasheet for a complete guide to wiring and installing the DS200LDCCH1ALA board. Members of the Mark V series, including this drive control LAN communications card, were provided with technical support by General Electric. According to these originally-produced instructional manual materials, this DS200LDCCH1ALA PCB's I/O processing is achieved through the use of one of the following bus systems:
- The DLAN+ LAN Protocol Bus System
- The DLAN Smaller and Early Larger Drives LAN Protocol
- The Genius Interface Board Bus System
- The CPL Interface Board Serial Link Bus System
- The C-Bus Interface Board Differential Bus System
The Genius, CPL and C-Bus Systems utilized by this DS200LDCCH1ALA drive control and local area network communications card all necessitate the inclusion of an additional optional terminal board in the Mark V Series automated assembly; notable the DS200ADCI Board as delegated in the DS200LDCCH1ALA instructional manual attached above in the manuals tab for your convenience. A RESET button has been provided in the normal Mark V Series assembly of this DS200LDCCH1ALA product offering for aiding in combating functional faults, again as detailed in the DS200LDCCH1ALA datasheets included above. This DS200LDCCH1ALA PCB is not the original product of its specific functionality developed for the Mark V Series; that would be the DS200LDCCH1 Drive Control and Local Area Network Communications Card not utilizing this DS200LDCCH1ALA Device's three significant product revisions.
