Product Description
Oftentimes more recognizable by its functional industry acronym DSPX; the IS200DSPXH1DBC is a board component used within the larger GE Industrial Systems EX2100 series of components manufactured for excitation control. The DSPX acronym can be described as a functional acronym, as it exists to describe the intended use of the component part. In this instance, the IS200DSPXH1DBC functions as a Digital Signal Processor Control Board. Since there are several different versions of the DSPX board available, please be sure you are ordering the correct iteration of this board for your system.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
The IS200DSPXH1DBC includes a 60 MHz digital signal processor, an application-specific integrated circuit(ASIC), and standard memory components. The ASIC provides custom logic functions and is connected to both LEDs embedded in the front faceplate connected to the circuit board. These LEDs (one red and one green) help alarm board faults, and are labeled "status" and "fault" respectively.
The IS200DSPXH1DBC has several I/O connectors. This includes a single backplane connector (P1) and one vertical pin connector located near the front of the board (P7.) Additionally, there are two connectors mounted on the board’s faceplate, manufactured by trusted retailer ERNI. These function as an engineering monitor port (P6,) and a DSP emulator port (P5).
Before installation of this Digital Signal Processor Control Board, it is important to verify that the dimensions of this printed circuit board correspond with the dimensions of its mounting bracket or assembly area. This particular GE Industrial Systems model's actual printed circuit board has a length of about 8.5 inches, with a width of about five inches. While this is true, this control board's exterior face plate, labeled by the manufacturer as 259B2431FBG08, does add on to the width of the PCB; making the total width clearance for this product more around seven inches. This aforementioned face plate also greatly increases IS200DSPXH1DBC's general thickness, which grows to about an inch in total thickness. This is a static-sensitive device and should always be handled with extreme care during installation and storage.
While the hardware specifications and dimensions of the DSPX remain relevant, especially in terms of installation purposes, it can be important to consider some of the processing power present in this particular model of GE Industrial Systems PCB. This product, the DSPX, is supported by a high-speed, 60Mhz circuit chip designed for digital signal processing. This chip is powerful; offering both 248 kB static high speed RAM and 512 kB of flash memory BIOS. The IS200DSPXH1DBC functions when paired with a GE Industrial Systems ACLA controller.
For additional information about proper installation or handling procedures for the IS200DSPXH1DBC, please refer to data sheets, manuals, or user guides that were provided by GE Industrial Systems; some available online through the our "manuals" tab above. A helpful part number breakdown guide for IS200 models is additionally attached above for your convenience in the "manuals" tab.
