Mark V DS200LDCCH1AKA LAN Communications Board

General Electric developed the DS200LDCCH1AKA board to operate as a drive control and local area network (LAN) communication board. The card was developed by General Electric for their Mark V Turbine Control System series of drive boards. Exciters and drives across GE’s DIRECTO-MATIC 2000 series can have this card installed in its cabinet. An array of onboard microprocessors provide the drive with a number of interfacing capabilities. These include LAN communications, drive resets, motor and drive processing, and operator interface.

Coverage of I/O and drive control settings is provided by the four microprocessors integrated onto the board. One of the onboard processors is a LAN control processor (LCP). The LCP is responsible for accepting and converting five different bus systems fed to the drive. DS200LDCCH1AKA also includes a drive control processor (DCP) used for controlling peripheral I/O devices such as timers and encoders. A motor control processors (MCP) is available on the drive to process I/O communications as well as circuits for the motor control system. Should the processing power of the MCP not meet a job’s need, the co-motor processor (CMP) will provide the extra processing power required. Users can easily access any onboard system diagnostics and settings via the attached alphanumeric keypad.
