GE DS200ACNAG1ADD ARCNET Connection Card

GE DS200ACNAG1ADD ARCNET Connection Card

Product Overview

The DS200ACNAG1ADD is an ARCNET connectivity card specially designed by GE for its successful Speedtronic gas/steam turbine management system, the Mark V series, which has been managing heavy-duty turbine systems since the 1960s and has been developed to be even more reliable and advanced as technology continues to advance. The DS200ACNAG1ADD card provides a key connection point for ARCNET LAN communications within the Mark V system.

Product Features

Communication Connectivity: The DS200ACNAG1ADD card enables data communication between components within the Mark V system via the ARCNET network. These signals are transmitted via coaxial cable between the main processor boards (LDCC) and ultimately to the turbine control operator interface and back.

HARDWARE COMPONENTS: The connection card is equipped with the necessary hardware components, including four metal film resistors (R1 to R4), three capacitors (C1 to C3) and a diode. In addition, there are two relays located near the bottom edge of the board, each containing relay diagrams on the top surface for visual representation of the relay logic.

Communication Devices: The DS200ACNAG1ADD card is equipped with three communication devices, including a vertical pin terminal connector with six pins, located in the middle of the board, and two BNC plugs (right-angle, female) that are used to receive LAN coaxial cables to enable connection to the ARCNET network.

Product features

High Reliability: As part of the Mark V system, the DS200ACNAG1ADD card inherits the high reliability features of the Mark V system, which ensures stable operation with triple redundancy backups of all critical control and protection parameters and includes features such as built-in diagnostics and on-line maintenance.

Small and lightweight: The DS200ACNAG1ADD is a small circuit board with a low component count for easy installation and maintenance.

Easy to Integrate: The connection card can be easily integrated into the Mark V system and can be operated without additional hardware or software changes.

Application Scenarios

The DS200ACNAG1ADD ARCNET connection card is mainly used in the GE Mark V series gas/steam turbine management system as a key connection point in the ARCNET network to realise data communication between components within the system. It is suitable for power system application scenarios that require high accuracy, reliability and performance.
