The GE Drive Control Board DS200SDCCG1AFD is the primary controller for the drive. The GE Drive Control Board DS200SDCCG1AFD is populated with 3 microprocessors and RAM that can be accessed by multiple microprocessors at the same time.

You can configure the board using jumpers on the board and software tools. You can load the software configuration tools on a laptop and then download the configuration settings from the board and edit the settings on the laptop.

To download the configuration file to the laptop, you can attach the board to a serial cable on the optional LAN communications card and the other end to the serial connector on the laptop. Once you have completed the editing of the configuration file, upload it the board using the serial connection.

If you are having trouble making the serial connection, make sure the serial port on the laptop is configured correctly and also check that the serial cable is attached and fully seated.

Eight  jumpers are available on the board for you to configure the behavior of the board. Some of the jumpers are for testing purposes in the factory only and cannot be changed by the user. To change the position of a jumper, hold the jumper with your thumb and forefinger and pull the jumper out of the pins. Move the jumper over the pins for the new position and gently insert the jumper over the pins.

The DS200SDCCG1AFD developed by General Electric is the primary controller for the drive. It is deisgned with 3 microprocessors and RAM that can be accessed by multiple microprocessors at the same time. Operators are capable of mounting additional cards on the General Electric Drive Control Board for added functionality. One card provides for LAN communications while two other cards expand the signal processing capabilities of the board.

Before installing the new board it is best practice to first remove the cards from the defective board and install them on the replacement board. Lay the replacement board on top of the protective bag on a flat surface to install the cards abd examine the defective board and make sure all jumpers are set exactly the same on the replacement board. This is done to prevent any installation errors that will result in loss of productivity and downtime at the site.

When handling hold the board by the edges and connect the cables to the replacement board. You can make this process much easer by plugging the cables from the defective board directly into the replacement board. Label the cables so that you understand how to reconnect.

Configuration settings for the board are stored on the four EPROM chips on the board. You are able to transfer this configuration from the defective board to the replacement board, by moving the EPROMS from the defective board to the new board.
