Details

General Electric developed the DS200LDCCH1AGA card to operate as a drive control and local area network (LAN) communications board. This card is housed in the Mark V series of replacement drive boards compatible with GE brand DIRECTO-MATIC 2000 drives and exciters. When installed in a drive the board provides an array of drive and I/O control functions for the drive.

The DS200LDCCH1AGA communication card houses four microprocessors onboard. A LAN control processor (LCP) is available to accept five different bus types fed to the drive. A drive control processor (DCP) is also available to process analog and digital I/O conversions.

The DCP is also capable of controlling and converting peripheral I/O devices such as encoders and timers. A motor control processor (MCP) is provided to process digital I/O sent to the drive. Should calculations require extra processing power the DCP cannot provide, the co-motor processor (CMP) will provide the additional power needed to complete these functions. The board is completed with an alphanumeric keyboard used for system programming and diagnostic purposes.

The DS200LDCCH1AGA is a LAN communications circuit board developed by General Electric. It is used in GE EX2000 Excitation and DC2000 product lines and is an advanced 7-layer circuit board that is essentially the brains of the EX2000 and DC2000. The primary functions provided by the board include operator interface, LAN communications, drive and motor processing and drive resets.

It includes several onboard features including a microprocessor controlled LAN (local area networks) communications, controlled drive and motor processing, operator interface and complete drive resets. There are four microprocessors on the board, providing it with a sweeping coverage of I/O and drive control. The drive control processor is located on the board as position U1 and it provides integrated I/O peripherals, offering abilities like timers and decoders. The second is a motor control processor recognized on the board as U21. Motor control circuitry and I/O (analog and digital) communications are available with this processor. U35 is the location of the co-motor processor. Only used when additional processing is required, this section works to perform advanced mathematics the MCP cannot compute.

The final processor found on the board is the LAN control processor in position U18. Five bus systems (DLAN+, DLAN, Genius, CPL, and C-bus) are accepted by this processor. A user interface system is available with an attached alphanumeric keypad allowing users to view and adjust system settings and diagnostics.
