The S-Series servo motors optimized for use with the S2K Series controllers range from

30 W to 5 kW and are rated for 230 VAC for full speed. Using a 115 VAC supply will result

in a reduced operating speed of approximately one half of the rated speed.

The 30 to 1.000 Watt S-Series servo motors (SLM models only), MTR-3S and MTR-3N

series and all stepping motor models are designed with standard NEMA shaft and flange

mounting configurations for easy mounting to off-the-shelf gear reducers and couplings.

The 750-Watt S-Series motor uses an oversized shaft diameter (0.625 inches) for the

NEMA 34 mounting in order to handle the peak torque rating of this model. 

S-Series motor models from 1 to 5 kW (except the SLM100 1kW motor) and all MTR-3T Series motors

have metric mounting configurations.

All servo motors are available with an optional 24 VDC holding brake. These brakes are

spring-set, electrically released models designed for holding stationary loads. The user

must supply a separate 24 VDC brake power supply. The 30-750 Watt S-Series motors

have a pigtail cable with box style connectors for motor power, encoder and brake

connections. The 1.000 to 5.000 Watt S-Series motors have MS style connectors and the

brake power (when required) is integrated with the motor power connections in a common

connector/cable. MTR-series servo motors include MS type connectors for brake power

input. The MTR-3N and MTR-3T series brake motors integrate the brake power with the

motor power in the same cable. MTR-3S brake motors require a separate brake power cable (CBL-30-BT).

Models supporting DeviceNet™ or PROFIBUS communications include 14 discrete I/O

points. The 4.3 and 7.2 amp servo models and the stepper model are also available with

21 I/O points instead of the DeviceNet or PROFIBUS communications. All drives are

capable of supporting the Modbus/RTU protocol. If the optional Modbus adapter is used

(catalog number IC800MBUSADP) the standard RS-232 serial port can be used for

multidrop applications. This adaptor is an externally mounted multi-drop RS-232 to RS485 serial port converter.

The S2K Series controllers are optimized for use with the GE Fanuc S-Series or MTRseries servo and stepping motors. 

Overload and possible component damage may occur

if the motor and amplifier are not properly matched. Tables 1-1 to 1-3 show the

recommended pairing of the components.

The S2K Series stepper controller requires a single-phase 115 VAC supply. S2K Series

servo controller models rated 230 VAC and 4.3 or 7.2 amp can operate on either 115 VAC

single-phase or 230 VAC three-phase, while the all other models are rated for three-phase

input. The 230 and 460 VAC models are intended to be operated from a three-phase

supply but can be used with a single-phase power source.

System Overview

The S2K Series is a family of high performance standalone brushless servo or stepper

amplifiers with integrated motion controllers and user configurable I/O functions.

Controllers are available in models configured for either resolver or serial encoder motor

feedback. Encoder-based S2K servo models can be used only with GE Fanuc S-Series

(SLM, SDM or SGM) servo motors. S2K resolver feedback servo controllers use GE

Fanuc MTR-Series (3N, 3S or 3T) servo motors or third-party motors with appropriate

ratings and resolver specifications. Please consult the factory for assistance in controlling non-GE Fanuc motors.

Servo models support continuous stall torque from 0.84–478 in-lb (0.095–54 Nm) while

the stepper model supports holding torque from 144–3.074 oz-in (16.3–21.7 Nm). Servo

controller models include four 230 VAC ratings of 4.3. 7.2. 16. and 28 amps continuous

and two 460 VAC ratings of 7.2 and 20 amps continuous (460 VAC models are only

available with resolver feedback). Peak currents of the 230 VAC servo models are two

times the continuous ratings while the 460 VAC servo models are 1.5 times the

continuous rating. The stepper controller has a rating of 5 amps.

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.

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.
