DS200UDSAG1ACC

Product Description

The GE Excitation Board DS200UDSAG1ACC features one 1 80196 microprocessor and several erasable programmable read-only memory (EPROM) modules. The GE Excitation Board DS200UDSAG1ACC also is populated with 21 4-character displays and 32 LEDs.

The EPROM modules are sensitive to static which can corrupt the information stored on them. Static can also erase the information, or damage the EPROM module. Always wear an ESD protective device when you handle EPROM modules. This provides a path for the static electricity to follow to a grounded surface. When you store the modules, place them in a static protective bag and seal the bag against dust and dirt. Keep the module in the sealed bag until you are ready to install it. To install the module, center it over the socket and gently press it into place. Inspect the installation and look for space between the module and the socket. If you see space, gently press down on the module.

The modules contain firmware and other code used by the microprocessor. The code can be erased and a new version written to the module, if desired. The code can be downloaded from the Web. However, when you replace the board, it best practice to move the modules to the replacement board. The microprocessor will have the same code to operate with in the replacement board as it used in the old board.

The LEDs and the 4-character display devices provide information on the status of the board components. When the board is installed, the operator can view the board while the drive is online.
