Product Description
This DS200TCPDG1B printed circuit board or PCB for short was originally designed and manufactured to exist within General Electric's Mark V Turbine Control System Series, as mentioned earlier. The Mark V Turbine Control System Series that this DS200TCPDG1B product was manufactured for is a legacy GE Series, as it has been discontinued for manufacturer by its original retailer. With that being true, this DS200TCPDG1B printed circuit board's Mark V product series is also one of the final General Electric product series to make use of the patented Speedtronic control system technology in its offerings, which was first introduced alongside the rollout of the Mark I in the late 1960s. This DS200TCPDG1B PCB is actually more explicitly-definable by its functional product description as a Power Distribution Module, given this description's placement in pertinent Mark V Series instructional manual materials. This DS200TCPDG1B Power Distribution Module is not the original product with its intended functionality to feature within the Mark V Series, however; that would be the DS200TCPDG1 parent module missing this DS200TCPDG1B product's B-rated functional revision.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
As with any product offering available to General Electric's Mark V Turbine Control System Series, this DS200TCPDG1B product makes use of its own set of hardware component inclusions and specifications. The GE Power Distribution Board DS200TCPDG1B features 8 toggle switches, 36 fuses, and 4 signal wire terminals. It also has 36 OK LEDs and 1 10-pin connector. The OK LEDs are a quick method for the operator to understand if any of the 36 fuses on the board are blown. When the LEDs are lit, it means that the fuses are operational and all circuits on the board are functioning. When the LEDs are off, the fuse is blown and it must be removed and a new fuse must be installed. The board also is populated with 2 red LEDs that indicate that a problem with the board exists and further diagnosing is required to determine the problem. The fuse housings in this DS200TCPDG1B module's assembly are black plastic and the operator is unable to see the state of the fuse. However, a quick glance at the OK LEDs provide the necessary information. Each fuse has an ID assigned to it. The ID is prefixed with FU followed by a number. For example, one fuse holder has the ID FU1, and another has the ID FU2, and another has the ID FU3. The IDs for this DS200TCPDG1B product offering's various toggle switches work similarly; beginning with the SW tag denoting a switch component followed by a series of numbers detailing switch positioning. Power conversion for this DS200TCPDG1B board's input power is handled by the DACA component printed circuit board, also available here at AX Control for repair and replacement across a number of relevant revision styles.
One piece of customizable hardware is available to the assembly of this DS200TCPDG1B product in its BJS-labeled manually-moveable hardware jumper. This jumper selects for ground reference isolation on Mark V Series automated drive assembly systems with an external reference. When the DS200TCPDG1B Power Distribution Module's BJS jumper is employed, a ground reference is provided for the external reference systems within the Mark V Series automated drive assembly as well. There is no internal software configuration possible for this DS200TCPDG1B Power Distribution Module. The four signal wire terminals are used to connect copper signal wires from other components in the DS200TCPDG1B board, and are accompanied by their own series of installation requirements as outlined by General Electric themselves. To disconnect a DS200TCPDG1B signal wire from the terminal, use a screwdriver to loosen the retention screw. Pull the wire out of the terminal and move it to one side. To install a signal wire insert the copper end into the terminal and tighten the retention screw with a screwdriver. Before making a final purchase decision on this DS200TCPDG1B Power Distribution Module, it is crucial to understand that its originally-introduced performance specifications and dimensions have almost certainly been altered from their original statuses by use of this DS200TCPDG1B product's B-rated functional product revision.
