FEATURES:

Topology: ARCNET supports both bus and star topologies. In a bus topology, all devices share a common communication medium, while in a star topology, each device is connected to a central hub.

Data Transfer Rate: ARCNET typically operates at speeds of 2.5 Mbps (Megabits per second) or 10 Mbps, depending on the version and implementation. It might not be as fast as some modern LAN technologies but was suitable for its time.

Medium Access Control: ARCNET uses a token-passing protocol for medium access control. A token is passed from one node to another, allowing the node holding the token to transmit data.

Cabling: The cabling used in ARCNET can vary, but it commonly employs coaxial cables. The type of cable and connectors used may depend on the specific implementation and version of ARCNET.

Network Size: ARCNET networks can support a limited number of nodes, typically ranging from a dozen to a few dozen devices. This makes it suitable for smaller networks.

Addressing: ARCNET devices are assigned unique addresses to enable communication within the network. These addresses are used to identify the source and destination of data packets.

Reliability: ARCNET is known for its deterministic and predictable behavior, making it suitable for real-time applications. The token-passing protocol helps ensure controlled access to the network.

Protocol Stack: ARCNET has its protocol stack, which includes the physical layer, data link layer, and a portion of the network layer. It is not directly compatible with the more common TCP/IP protocol stack.

DS200IIBDG1A Board Replacement

The board is mounted in the drive’s printed circuit board cabinet. Since the cabinet contains multiple boards and multiple cables routed throughout the cabinet, it is critical to follow some basic guidelines to prevent board damage.

When inserting or removing boards, avoid touching other boards in the cabinet and breaking components.

In some cases, you may need to remove a board to access a board that needs to be replaced.

Install the board back in the same position it was in when you removed it. Then reconnect all cables.

The board has multiple connectors and you must ensure that the cables are connected to the same connectors when installing the replacement board.

To reconnect them to the same connectors, inspect the defective boards and make a note of the connector identifier that indicates the connector to which the cables have been connected.

Then, make labels and attach them to the cables to indicate where the devices should be connected on the new board.

The board contains a 32-pin ribbon cable connector, and you must consider how the ribbon cable will be disconnected and reconnected during the replacement process.

If any of the thin wires are cut, the signal it carries will not be sent to or received by the board.

Two tabs on either side of the ribbon cable hold the connector in place.

To remove the ribbon cable, grasp the connector on both sides while releasing the two tabs. Then, remove the connector from the board.

In addition, the board contains one or more jumpers that configure the board to handle drive data in a particular way.

Other jumpers are set at the factory for testing purposes only. The board’s documentation identifies the jumpers and describes the jumper settings and how they affect the board’s behaviour.

Functional Description

The DS200TBQBG1ACB is an input termination module developed by GE. It is part of the Mark V control system.

The input termination module (TBQB) is strategically located in position 7 within the R2 and R3 cores of the system.

This terminal block plays a key role in processing and handling the various input signals that are critical for monitoring and controlling operating parameters.

Features

Location and Connectivity: In the R2 core, the terminal board connects to the TCQA and TCQC boards located in the R1 core.

This connection facilitates the transfer of data and signals between cores for coordinated monitoring and control operations.

Similarly, in the R3 kernel, the terminal boards are connected to the TCQA and TCQC boards within the same kernel.

This setup ensures localised processing and integration of the input signals required for R3 kernel operation.

Input signals processed: The terminal blocks receive and process various types of input signals that are essential for operational monitoring:

Voltage signals: These signals provide insight into electrical parameters such as voltage levels within the system.

Vibration signals: Vibration monitoring signals help to assess mechanical integrity and performance and are essential for preventing equipment failure and optimising maintenance schedules.

Pulse rate signals: Pulse rate inputs indicate the frequency or rate of a specific event or process, helping to make precise monitoring and control adjustments.

Integration with TCQA and TCQC boards: Integration with TCQA and TCQC boards allows the TBQB Terminal Block to seamlessly interface with control and acquisition systems.

This integration supports real-time data acquisition, processing, and transmission, thus enhancing overall system responsiveness and reliability.

Operational Impact: By integrating these input signals on the board, the system benefits from centralised data processing and streamlined communication between cores.

This setup optimises operational efficiency, facilitates predictive maintenance strategies and ensures timely response to operational anomalies.

The Field Status LED indicates if there is a fault or channel error at at least one terminal, and the Terminal or TB LEDs indicate the presence of the system’s terminals.All LEDs on the IC695ALG616 Non-Isolated Differential Analogue Input Module draw their power from the backplane power bus.The GE Fanuc IC695ALG616 Analogue Input Module has rate-of-change alarms, Onboard Error Verification, Channel Fault Alarm, Fault Reporting, Auto Calibration, Flash Slot, Configurable Offset and Scaling per Channel, and Detection of Terminal Insertion or Removal.

The IC695ALG626 is capable of providing sixteen (16) input channels if configured for single-ended inputs and eight (8) inputs for differential wiring. By supporting the HART protocol, each channel can communicate with an external HART communicator to access not only readings, but also other HART parameters.

The IC695ALG626 has LED status indicators such as the Module Normal, Field Status, and TB LEDs.The Module Normal LED is used to indicate that the module is configured correctly when the LED is green and constantly lit; if it is slowly blinking green or amber, there is an error; if it is blinking rapidly, the module is not configured correctly; and if the Module LED is off, there is a fault or no power.

The field status LED is green and always on, indicating that there are no faults on the enabled channel and when the terminals are present; amber indicates that the module’s channel is in a faulty state, and an extinguished LED indicates that the terminals are disconnected or incorrectly installed. The TB LED lights up red when no terminals are connected; it lights up green when terminals are connected and goes out if there is no backplane power.
