GE DS215SLCCG2AZZ01A LAN Communication Card

Part Number DS215SLCCG2AZZ01A Manufacturer General Electric Country of Manufacture As Per GE Manufacturing Policy Series Mark VI/VIe Function Module Availability In StockDS215SLCCG2AZZ01A is a LAN Communication Card manufactured and designed by General Electric as part of the Mark V Series used in GE Speedtronic Gas Turbine Control Systems. A LAN communication card, also known as a network interface card (NIC) or network adapter, is a hardware device that enables a computer to connect to a local area network (LAN). It allows a computer to send and receive data over a network by providing the necessary physical and data link layer functionality. 

A LAN communication card is typically installed inside a computer's expansion slot, such as a PCI or PCIe slot, or it can be integrated into the motherboard of the computer. The card provides an Ethernet port or other network connector that allows the computer to connect to a LAN using Ethernet or other compatible network protocols. FEATURES: LAN communication cards, or network interface cards (NICs), come with various features and capabilities that enhance network connectivity and performance. 

Here are some common features you may find in LAN communication cards: Speed and Compatibility: LAN communication cards support different Ethernet speeds, such as 10/100/1000 Mbps (Fast Ethernet/Gigabit Ethernet), or even higher speeds like 10 Gbps (10 Gigabit Ethernet) for high-performance networks. They are compatible with different Ethernet standards, ensuring seamless connectivity with other network devices. Connector Types: LAN communication cards typically feature one or more Ethernet ports or connectors. The most common connector type is the RJ-45 connector, which is used for wired Ethernet connections. 

Some NICs may also have additional connectors for fiber optic cables, allowing for long-distance connections or higher data rates. Interface Type: LAN communication cards can be available in different interface types, such as PCI, PCIe, or USB. The interface type determines how the card connects to the computer's motherboard or external port. PCI and PCIe are commonly used for internal NICs, while USB NICs provide external connectivity options. VLAN Support: Virtual LAN (VLAN) support enables NICs to work with virtual networks within a physical network infrastructure. VLANs help segment the network into logical groups, improving network security, traffic management, and performance. NICs with VLAN support can tag and prioritize network traffic based on VLAN membership.

ABOUT THE DS215SLCCG2AZZ01A 

As discussed before, this DS215SLCCG2AZZ01A printed circuit board product offering was originally designed and produced by General Electric, for placement in their Mark V Turbine Control System Series. The Mark V Series that this DS215SLCCG2AZZ01A printed circuit board or PCB for short belongs to has specific applications in the control and management systems of popular and compatible wind, gas, and steam turbine automated drive assemblies, and must be considered a legacy series due to its manufacture-led production discontinuation due to obsolescence that took place in the many years following its initial General Electric release. While a now-obsolete legacy product series, the Mark V Series that this DS215SLCCG2AZZ01A LAN Communications Card belongs to is still something of a desirable General Electric Mark product series, as it is one of the final-developed GE Mark Series to incorporate the patented Speedtronic control system technology into its various offerings. While this DS215SLCCG2AZZ01A Device is classifiable as a LAN Communications Card in its own right, it is not the originally-developed product of this specific Mark V Series functionality; that would be the DS215SLCCG2 parent printed circuit card missing this DS215SLCCG2AZZ01A Device's A-rated functional product revision and optional firmware package.

Hardware Tips and Specifications

General Electric developed the DS215SLCCG2AZZ01A for the Mark V board series as a LAN communications card. Circuits, both isolated and non-isolated, help to perform communications between the drive and local area networks (LAN). This LAN card provides users with network communication capabilities with the drive. A microprocessor and onboard system memory are integrated into the card. This device allows for DLAN network communications only. A LAN control processor, or LCP, is the principle microprocessor on the card. DS215SLCCG2AZZ01A provides network communications access to the drive via this LCP. On board, two EPROM spaces serve as LCP software storage spaces. Additional RAM memory serves as the communication space between the processor and the drive control processor. Connections across the board provide all system interface points for the board. In terms of customizable hardware in the special modular assembly of this DS215SLCCG2AZZ01A LAN Communications Card, this DS215SLCCG2AZZ01A PCB offers two different styles of jumper. This DS215SLCCG2AZZ01A Device's jumper styles include:

JP Berg-Type Manually-Moveable Hardware Jumpers

WJ Wire Jumpers

This DS215SLCCG2AZZ01A printed circuit card's available jumpers have been named through a combination of their specific factory-printed nomenclature labels and the style of Mark V Series jumper that they exist as. The main difference between this DS215SLCCG2AZZ01A PCB's two jumper styles is that its Berg-Type jumpers can be configured in the field by the DS215SLCCG2AZZ01A drive administrator. Power supplies are connected at point 2PL while 3PL serves as an access point for the drive control card. LAN I/O terminal boards connect to the LCP at point 10PL. DLAN network access is also found on the board. System parameters, diagnostics, and settings are available for access via a connected module programmer. An attached alphanumeric keypad allows users to alter and view data as needed. Installation parameters provided by General Electric should be followed to ensure that both the card as well as the drive operate within its prescribed bounds. The series manual and the device datasheet contains a complete guide to wiring and installing the DS215SLCCG2AZZ01A. General Electric, the manufacturer, was the original provider of technical support for the drive. Our friendly and experienced staff at AX Control is ready to assist with all of your automation needs.
