About the DS200LDCCH1ALA
The DS200LDCCH1ALA is a drive control and local area network (LAN) communications card manufactured by General Electric. It belongs to the Mark V Turbine Control System series of drive boards. The Mark V Series has specific applications in the control and management systems of wind, gas, and steam turbine automated drive assemblies.
The Mark V Series remains highly sought after as it's one of the final GE product series to use the patented Speedtronic control system technology, first seen with the Mark I Series in the late 1960s.
The DS200LDCCH1ALA is not the original product for its specific functionality in the Mark V Series; the DS200LDCCH1 parent card lacks its three significant product revisions.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
This card is designed for installation in GE's DIRECTO-MATIC 2000 series drives and exciters.
It provides various device, motor, and I/O control functions.
The board features four microprocessors:
- Drive Control Processor (DCP): Filters digital and analog I/O.
- LAN Control Processor (LCP): Filters LAN systems fed to the drive.
- Motor Control Processor (MCP): Provides initial processing for digital I/O communications.
- Co-Motor Processor (CMP): Supplements processing power if MCP capacity is exceeded.
An attachable alphanumeric keypad completes the board.
The DS200LDCCH1ALA achieves I/O processing through one of the following bus systems:
- DLAN+ LAN Protocol Bus System
- DLAN Smaller and Early Larger Drives LAN Protocol
- Genius Interface Board Bus System
- CPL Interface Board Serial Link Bus System
- C-Bus Interface Board Differential Bus System
For Genius, CPL, and C-Bus systems, an additional optional terminal board (DS200ADCI Board) is required.
A RESET button is included for combating functional faults.
