الوصف

The GE DS200SLCCG1AEF is a specific revision of the LAN Communication Card (1$\text{SLCC}$), which is a key component in the GE Mark V Speedtronic Turbine Control System and associated drive/exciter control platforms.2

 

Its primary function is to provide the dedicated hardware and processing necessary for the control system to communicate over a Local Area Network (3$\text{LAN}$).4

 


 

Key Features and Role

 

  • System Application: The board is part of the 5$\text{DS}200$ series for the 6$\text{Mark V}$ turbine and drive control systems, providing essential LAN interfacing capabilities.7

     

  • Networking Support: As a 8$\text{G1}$ variant, it includes the circuitry to support GE’s proprietary DLAN (Drive LAN) and the older ARCNET communication protocols.9 It offers both isolated and non-isolated communication circuits.10

     

  • Dedicated Processor: It incorporates a specialized LAN Control Processor (11$\text{LCP}$) to manage and filter network traffic, offloading this burden from the main system control processor (like the 12$\text{DCP}$ on the 13$\text{SDCC}$ card).14

     

  • Data Exchange: Communication between the 15$\text{LCP}$ and the main control processor uses high-speed Dual-Ported RAM (16$\text{DPR}$).17

     

  • Software Memory: The 18$\text{LCP}$‘s program is stored on two removable 19$\text{EPROMs}$ (20$\text{U}6$ and 21$\text{U}7$).22 These chips contain critical firmware and must be transferred when the physical board is replaced.23

     

  • Diagnostics: The card has a connector (24$\text{KPPL}$) for an optional Programmer Module (keypad and alphanumeric display) to access local diagnostics and system settings.25

     

  • PCB Coating: The “G” in the part number indicates it has the Normal Style PCB coating (standard industrial protection).26
