About the DS200TCDAG1ACA
This DS200TCDAG1ACA printed circuit board product offering, as alluded to above, was originally produced by the automated industrial manufacturer General Electric, specifically for placement in their Mark V Turbine Control System Series. The Mark V Series that this DS200TCDAG1ACA PCB belongs to, as evidenced by its full extended series name, has specific applications in the management and control systems of popular and compatible wind, steam, and gas turbine automated drive assemblies. With this being the case, this DS200TCDAG1ACA PCB's Mark V Series must be considered obsolete as a whole, as its manufacturing was discontinued in the many years following its initial release due to a manufacturer-identified series obsolescence. While this is true, this DS200TCDAG1ACA printed circuit board product offering's greater Mark V Series is considered a highly-sought GE product series still, as it is one of the final-developed Mark product series to make use of the retailer's patented Speedtronic control system technology first seen alongside the release of the Mark I Series in the mid to later 1960s.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
As with any new or used product available to our extended inventory here, this DS200TCDAG1ACA PCB's intended series functionality is introduced to it by its internal assembly's adoption of a particular series of hardware components and concurrent hardware component specifications. The General Electric Digital I/O Board DS200TCDAG1ACA features one microprocessor and multiple programmable read-only memory (PROM) modules. It also contains 1 block of 10 LED lights and 2 50-pin connectors. The GE Digital I/O Board DS200TCDAG1ACA also is populated with 8 jumpers and 1 LED that is visible from the side of the board. The 10 LEDs in a block work together to provide an indication of the health of the board. If the LEDs flash in sequence from left to right you know that the board is operating without error. If an error is found, the associated code is represented on the LEDs in a flashing pattern. It should be noted that this DS200TCDAG1ACA Digital I/O Board is not the originally-developed product of its specific Mark V Series functionality; that would be the DS200TCDAG1 parent Digital I/O Board notably missing this DS200TCDAG1ACA product's three significant product revisions.
The single LED visible from the side of the board is useful when the board is installed in the rack between other boards. When it is lit the board is operating within the acceptable parameters. When the LED is not lit, you can view the block of 10 LEDs to gain more information. Another option is to access the drive diagnostics that give a record of all the activity in the drive. If an error or warning has been generated an error log will list them. One option is to download the diagnostic report to a laptop through a serial connection between the laptop and the drive. The control panel menu options gives you the option to initiate a file download. This can be useful to retain a record of the operation of the drive and any error or warnings. This DS200TCDAG1ACA printed circuit board's personalized product page here contains a disproportionate amount of information concerning its LED diagnostic indicators; which is more telling of this DS200TCDAG1ACA Device's lack of internet-available instructional materials than it is their true importance. With this being true, the DS200TCDAG1ACA functional product number can be utilized as a supplementary source of DS200TCDAG1ACA Board information, as it codes for specific hardware details through a series of functional naming segments. For instance, the DS200TCDAG1ACA functional product number is started by the dual-functional DS200 series tag describing this DS200TCDAG1ACA PCB's normal Mark V Series assembly as well as its domestic original manufacture location. Some of the other individual hardware details revealed in the DS200TCDAG1ACA functional product number includes this DS200TCDAG1ACA PCB's:
- TCDA functional product acronym
- Group one Mark V Series product grouping
- Normal PCB coating style
- A-rated primary functional revision
- C-rated secondary functional revision
- A-rated artwork configuration revision
