About the DS200LDCCH1ANA
The DS200LDCCH1ANA is a Drive Control/LAN Communications Board developed by General Electric for their Mark V Control System Series.
The Mark V Series has applications in gas, steam, and wind turbine control and management systems. The Mark V Series is one of GE's more recent series to utilize their patented Speedtronic technology, first introduced with the Mark I Series in the late 1960s.
The DS200LDCCH1ANA is not the original product for its functionality; that would be the DS200LDCCH1 parent PCB, which lacks the DS200LDCCH1ANA's full three-fold revision history.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
The DS200LDCCH1ANA board features four microprocessors, each assigned a separate function:
- One for drive control processing.
- One for motor control processing.
- One for co-motor processing.
- One for LAN control processing.
The board's internal processes are supported by standard Mark V Series hardware specifications, including:
- Voltage-limiting and voltage-storing components (diodes, resistors, capacitors).
- A thin layer of conformal-style printed circuit board protective coating.
- Specialized hardware elements for voltage insulation.
Configuration data is stored in six flash PROM components (U7-U21), which are factory-programmed but can be reprogrammed in the field.
An additional stab connector is integrated for use in high-noise environments.
Troubleshooting and Resets
If the DS200LDCCH1ANA is not functioning optimally, a soft reset is recommended.
A hard reset (power interruption) should be avoided unless the drive malfunctions or a trip condition occurs. A soft reset clears faults while maintaining power to the board.
One method for a soft reset is to press the Reset button on the board for about 5 seconds. This should only be done by a qualified individual due to the risk of electric shock or burn.
It's important to note that the three product revisions in the DS200LDCCH1ANA's assembly alter its performance specifications and dimensions from their base-revised statuses.
