About the DS200DSPCH1ADA
The DS200DSPCH1ADA is a GE Digital Signal Processor Control Board compatible with GE’s Mark V Speedtronic control system for steam and gas industrial turbines.
The DS200DSPCH1ADA offers communication bandwidth and processing capability to directly control the systems’ power converter applications and high-performance drives.
The board is built with expandable inputs and outputs.
It is additionally definable as one of the final General Electric product series to utilize the brand’s patented Speedtronic control system technology first offered alongside the original release of the Mark V Series in the later 1960s.
This DS200DSPCH1ADA PCB is not the original product of its intended Mark V Series functionality; that would be the DS200DSPCH1 parent printed circuit board missing this DS200DSPCH1ADA product’s three significant product revisions.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
DS200DSPCH1ADA
The DS200DSPCH1ADA is a complex circuit board with multiple daughter boards.
Given this DS200DSPCH1ADA product offering’s possession, it is something of an anomaly that its DS200DSPCH1ADA functional product number makes no mention of a special Mark V Series assembly version, as other typical Mark V Series motherboards tend to do.
One board is mounted parallel to the board’s surface using standoffs and another is mounted vertically.
One of these daughterboards is used to provide scaling, buffering, isolation, and conditioning of signals in order to make them accessible and usable to the DS200DSPCH1ADA’s digital signal processor.
The DS200DSPCH1ADA has two backplane connectors on its rear edge. The board is built with an attached front faceplate with several kinds of I/Os and with LED indicators.
The faceplate also has a reset button and two set screws (top and bottom) that help lock the board into place when it is installed into a rack system.
