Hardware Tips and Specifications

This SDCC Abbreviated DriveControl Board requires its own series-specific hardware components and specifications in order to achieve its intended series functionality.

The GE Drive Control Board DS200SDCCG5A is equipped with 3 microprocessors and RAM that can be accessed by multiple microprocessors simultaneously.

These microprocessors are assigned to specific tasks within the drive control process, and the microprocessors are fitted with the firmware and hardware required to perform their respective tasks.

For example, a DS200SDCCG5A dcs-sis.com microprocessor is equipped with processing functions that perform the mathematical calculations involved in the common motor control function.

The DS200SDCCG5A board is also equipped with five EPROM connectors for storing configuration software. Four of the EPROM modules store factory-assigned configuration parameters.

The remaining EPROM module stores configuration parameters assigned by the user or service personnel.

The DS200SDCCG5A board described here also contains connectors and standoffs for connecting Mark V Series Auxiliary Cards.

You can secure these cards with screws inserted into the standoffs and then connect cables from the auxiliary cards to the board.

With these cards, you can connect to a LAN or add signal processing capabilities to the board.

Finally, this DS200SDCCG5A DriveControl Board contains jumpers for configuring the board, however these jumpers are set at the factory and should not be moved to change the behavior of the board.

Before making a final decision to purchase this DS200SDCCG5A DriveControl, it is important to understand the status of this DS200SDCCG5A printed circuit board, i.e., that it is a DriveControl that has been previously revised.

This status may alter the original performance specifications and functionality of the original Mark V Series DriveControl DS200SDCCG5 as presented in the General Electric Instruction Manual material.

The DS200SDCG5A is a fairly simple control card with 5 EEPROMs on board to store various software configurations for the PCB.

The 5A version does not have a large installed base compared to previous models in the Mark V series.

This DS200SDCCG5A drive controller card has the normal Mark V series assembly version, although it is part of the relatively uncommon Mark V series Group 5 product.
