About the DS200CVMAG1AEB

As mentioned above, this DS200CVMAG1AEB printed circuit board product was originally manufactured for placement in General Electric’s Mark V family of turbine control systems.

As you may have guessed, this DS200CVMAG1AEB product belongs to the Mark V family in the popular Steam,

wind and gas turbine automatic drive system components with specific applications in control and management systems, and was considered a legacy series for General Electric as it was eventually discontinued a few years after its initial release.

This larger Mark V series of DS200CVMAG1AEB Printed Circuit Boards or PCBs for short, while existing as a legacy series, is

but is also part of General Electric’s recently released line of products utilising their patented Speedtronic control system technology.

While this DS200CVMAG1AEB PCB can be functionally described as a generator control turbine board, the original PCBs developed with this function were not.

However, the Mark V series products originally developed with this functionality were missing all three parent PCBs of the DS200CVMAG1AEB PCB three important product revisions of the DS200CVMAG1 parent PCB.

Hardware Tips and Specifications

The GE Generator Control Turbine Board DS200CVMAG1AEB contains two 16-pin connectors and one 2-pin connector. The board is also equipped with 6 test points.

The GE Generator Control Turbo Board DS200CVMAG1AEB can be damaged by static electricity, so care must be taken when handling and installing the board.

When you open the box in which the board was shipped, you will notice that the board is packaged in a sealed plastic bag.

When the bag is sealed, it serves multiple purposes. www.cniacs.com It protects the board from dust, dirt, and other contaminants, as well as water or other liquids that may spill onto the board.

Firstly, the bag prevents static electricity from damaging the board. Consider the static buildup that can occur when you walk around with your board.

The air around you can cause static electricity to build up on your body and the board. Touching surfaces and walking on certain surfaces can also cause static buildup.

With this in mind, it is best to avoid carrying your board unless you are installing it. Keep in mind that the dry air you encounter in cold weather can lead to greater static buildup.

The GE Generator Control Turbine Board DS200CVMAG1AEB is shipped to you with a wrist strap that allows static electricity to drain away from your body and the board.

One end of the wrist strap wraps around your wrist and the other end is used to clip onto a metal surface, such as the legs of a workbench.

Whilst the static sensitivity of such DS200CVMAG1AEB printed circuit boards and the specification of installation procedures are important.

About the DS200CDBAG1

As previously mentioned, this DS200CDBAG1 printed circuit board product, or PCB for short, is a contactor driver board manufactured by General Electric for placement in its Mark V turbine control system series of automatic drive assemblies. This DS200CDBAG1 PCB is no longer actively produced by the larger Mark V series, and its eventual discontinuation was necessary given the industry-wide obsolescence of many of its products. With that in mind, the Mark V series to which this DS200CDBAG1 printed circuit board, or PCB for short, belongs remains the final instalment of General Electric’s Mark product line, incorporating its patented Speedtronic control system technology into its various products. This DS200CDBAG1 PCB is defined in the original instruction manual material via the official functional product description of the contactor driver board, and it does exist as a revised version of the original base for this intended Mark V series functional role, as indicated by its DS200CDBAG1 functional product number without any trailing, alphanumeric digits denoting a revision.

Hardware Tips and Specifications

The GE Contactor Driver Board DS200CDBAG1 opens and closes the contactors in its larger Mark V Series Autodrive assembly. Before touching the board for installation, be sure to disconnect power to the drive and test the board to ensure that there is no power in the board. Also, do not remove the board while the drive is powered. Static electricity can damage the board. Use a grounding strap to work on the board and store the board in a static protection bag. the DS200CDBAG1 has a jumper. jp1 is a 3-pin jumper for factory test purposes only. Keep pins 1 and 2 covered for normal operation. When pins 2 and 3 are covered, it is for factory use only. www.cniacs.com The DS200CDBAG1 also has a potentiometer to control the amount of current applied to the contactor coil. This is set at the factory and it is best practice not to change it. Voltage limiting in the assembly of this DS200CDBAG1 Mark V Turbine Control System series product is handled in the same manner as most General Electric Speedtronic products; accepting a variety of voltage-limiting hardware components including capacitors, rectifiers, diodes, and integrated circuits through its internal assembly. In addition to this, the base board and components of this DS200CDBAG1 product receive the normal level of protection from daily wear and tear and insulation due to its normal style of PCB protective coating, which wraps and protects the individual DS200CDBAG1 board hardware components according to their functional priority.

The DS200CDBAG1 also features test points that can be used to test board operation. One test point is a common reference point for the board. One test point is a 15 VDC test point referenced to the common reference point. One test point is for contactor driver reference voltage. connector 1TB on the DS200CDBAG1 board consists of four sections (1TBA, 1TBB, 1TBC, and 1TBD). Carefully note the location of the connector on the board and use a screwdriver to pry the sections apart. The connectors on the replacement board may be in different locations, so care must be taken to plug the sections into the correct connectors. There is also a fuse available for this DS200CDBAG1 Mark V series assembly; this fuse is designated in the original instruction manual material as a 4 amp, 125 V, 2AG slow blow fuse and can be replaced if it continues to blow (this is usually applicable to any DS200CDBAG1 board assembly).

The DS200ADGIH1AAA is 6 inches long and is designed to be mounted in the drive’s board cabinet.

It has four screws that align with a location on the board rack for screw mounting.

Test points provide a means of testing the circuitry on the board. However, only qualified service personnel should test the board.

Service personnel must have test equipment calibrated www.cniacs.com and designed for the task. The controls must be set up correctly and the probes must be designed for use with the tester.

Place the board on a flat surface and place a protective bag underneath the board.

In addition, due to the risk of static electricity, service personnel must wear a wrist strap at all times.

When the wrist strap is properly fitted, one end of the strap is attached to the wrist and the other end is clipped to the metal leg of the workbench or desk.

It can also be attached to other metal structures. Static electricity is attracted to the metal ground and then discharged from the circuit board or your body.

Another appropriate step to reduce static build-up is to avoid moving the board around while holding it in your hands. The friction of walking can cause static buildup.

This is especially true in cool, dry weather conditions. If you do not have a wrist strap, you can also touch the static bag containing the board to a metal structure, such as a chair or metal table leg.
