GE Mark V Series DS200FCGDH1B Printed Circuit Boards

This DS200FCGDH1B printed circuit board product manufactured by General Electric

was originally designed and manufactured for placement in its Mark V family of turbine control systems.

This DS200FCGDH1B printed circuit board, or PCB for short, is considered a member of the Mark V family.

It has specific applications in the management and control systems of popular and compatible wind,

gas and steam turbine automatic drive assemblies, as evidenced by the full extended family name provided above.

This Mark V family of DS200FCGDH1B Printed Circuit Boards, or PCBs for short,

while related to newly developed alternative energy technologies

must still be considered an obsolete GE legacy product line, as it was massively discontinued

due to obsolescence many years after the release of the original Mark V line of products.

The Mark V series of this DS200FCGDH1B PCB, while generally obsolete due to its legacy series status,

still offers many highly sought after products.

This is because it exists as one of the definitive General Electric Mark product lines,

utilizing the company's patented Speedtronic control system technology.

In addition, the DS200FCGDH1B PCB does not exist as the original development

of its intended Mark V series functionality; this would be the case with the lack of the DS200FCGDH1B PCB.

This would be the DS200FCGDH1 female PCB that lacks the single Level B functional product revision of the DS200FCGDH1B product.

Hardware Tips and Specifications

The DS200FCGDH1B is a door assignment and status card (FCGD). 

Developed by General Electric for its Mark V board family,

the card can be installed in many GE-branded drives.

Once installed, the card acts as the interface system for a six-pulse phase control non-inverting bridge.

the DSPC (Digital Signal Processing Card) relays information to the board for decryption.

This generates signals about diagnostic information and system feedback.

This generates signals for diagnostic information and system feedback,

which are then sent out using the drive's integrated VME backplane.

This DS200FCGDH1B product collects a large amount of data from the drive's integrated DSPC.

The signals received by the board are converted to unit gating signals.

All system bridge pins receive this cell gating signal and return multiplexed cell

status information to the card. the FCGD board also receives and scales feedback signals.

The three FGPA boards send feedback signals through fiber optic connections on the board.

The included feedback includes frequency, voltage, and board status information.

The integrated IMOK LED status indicator provides the user with basic system status.

Board installation parameters provided by the manufacturer should be met to minimize 

the risk of equipment failure or error. Board functionality is dependent on proper wiring of the system.

An illustrated guide for wiring and installing the DS200FCGDH1B is provided in the equipment manual and data sheet.

The entire Mark V series was originally powered by General Electric.

The above additional information for this DS200FCGDH1B printed circuit board product

is largely reminiscent of the general Mark V Series instruction documentation

and visual inspection of the DS200FCGDH1B unit itself.

This strategy was deemed necessary due to the legacy series status of

this DS200FCGDH1B product and the concomitant lack of on-line instructional

manual material that could be utilized for research purposes on this page.

With this in mind, the DS200FCGDH1B functional product number itself

can be considered an important source of information on DS200FCGDH1B Board hardware components and component specifications.

as it encodes a range of details in a series of consecutive function naming blocks.

For example, the DS200FCGDH1B Functional Product Number begins with

a dual-function DS200 series label representing the normal Mark V series components of

that DS200FCGDH1B product and its original domestic manufacturing location.

Some other relevant hardware details revealed through the use of

the DS200FCGDH1B Functional Product Number include this Mark V Series PCB:

.FCGD Functional Product Abbreviation

.First Mark V Series Product Grouping

.Conformal pattern of PCB protective coatings

.Class B Functional Product Revision

The board has voltage controlled oscillators for analog feedback of current, voltage, and magnetic flux.

These drive the VCO. The current and voltage signals can also be fed into the Sigma-Delta converter.

They operate in parallel with the VCO. Read through the relevant manuals for

more detailed information about the motherboard, especially this one.

The base board of this DS200FCGDH1B PCB is protected by a thick,

basic layer of daily wear protection provided by its conformal PCB surface coating.
