DS200LDCCH1ALA

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.
• Despite some alternative energy relevance, the Mark V Series is obsolete, discontinued due to manufacturer-identified functional obsolescence.
• 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.
