About the DS200UPLAG1BDC
As explained in the brief product description inserted above, this DS200UPLAG1BDC printed circuit board product offering was originally designed and manufactured by General Electric, with a specific functional placement in their Mark V Turbine Control System Series in mind. The Mark V Series that this DS200UPLAG1BDC printed circuit board or PCB for short belongs to has to be defined as a legacy product series, as it was discontinued due to obsolescence by its original manufacture in one of the many years following its initial General Electric product series release. With this being true, this DS200UPLAG1BDC PCB's greater Mark V Series is still considered quite the highly-sought GE product series, as it exists as one of their final Mark Series renditions to make use of their patented Speedtronic control system technology first introduced with the release of the Mark I Series in the later 1960s. As you may have been able to guess based off of its above-inserted full extended series name, the Mark V Series that this DS200UPLAG1BDC PCB belongs to has specific applications across a range of control and management systems in wind, gas, and steam turbine automated drive assemblies.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
The General Electric LAN Power Supply Circuit Board DS200UPLAG1BDC contains two 26-pin connectors, 1 fuse, and 1 toggle switch. The board also has a single reset button and one 8-pin connector. The fuse on the GE LAN Power Supply Circuit Board DS200UPLAG1BDC serves to protect the board from conditions in which too much current is applied to the board. If the fuse blows it causes the board to be disabled, which saves the board from damage. However, before the board can be operational, the fuse must be replaced. Only trained servicers can access the board and replace the fuse. Before making any final purchase decision on this DS200UPLAG1BDC Mark V Series product offering, it is crucial to understand that this DS200UPLAG1BDC PCB is not the original LAN Power Supply Circuit Board developed by General Electric; that would be the DS200UPLAG1 parent LAN Power Supply Board missing this DS200UPLAG1BDC PCB's full, three-fold revision table. This DS200UPLAG1BDC Device's selection of three total product revisions is but one of the many details revealed through functional naming chunks of the DS200UPLAG1BDC functional product number. Some of this DS200UPLAG1BDC Board's other details revealed through functional product number include its:
- Normal style of Mark V Series assembly
- Domestic original manufacture location
- UPLA functional product acronym
- Group one Mark V Series product grouping
- Normal PCB coating style
If the boards seems to have stopped operating, a quick and easy first step in troubleshooting is to check the fuse. Open up the board cabinet on the drive and locate the board in the drive. Locate the fuse and note if the element has melted. Remove all power to the drive by removing the fuses in the power supplies. Use a testing device to check the key locations in the drive for power. The documentation that came with the drive will contain details about where to test the drive for the presence of power. If you can access the board without removing it, grasp the blown fuse and remove it from the board. You can only replace the fuse with an identical one with the same specifications to prevent damage to the board. A different rated fuse might allow more current to be present in the board and cause damage.
