GE DS200TBPAG1A PLU Termination Board

الوصف

The GE DS200TBPAG1A is a specialized PLU Termination Board (Terminal Board – P/A) used in the General Electric Mark V Speedtronic Turbine Control System.¹

The designation “PLU” refers to the board’s use in providing termination for Low-Level Signals within systems like the Mark V, and it is also often associated with the ²$\text{EX2000}$ Excitation Control System.³

Function and Features

Primary Role

The ⁴$\text{DS200TBPAG1A}$ functions as a termination point for various low-level electrical signals that are critical for the turbine control system or associated excitation system.⁵

• System: ⁶$\text{GE}$ Speedtronic ⁷$\text{Mark V}$ Turbine Control System, often interfacing with the ⁸$\text{EX2000}$ Excitation Control System.⁹

   

• Signals: It handles low-level analog and pulse signals.¹⁰

   

Hardware and Connectivity

As a termination board, it is mainly a passive component used to organize and connect field wiring to the main processing boards via ribbon cables.

• Terminal Strips: The board is long and narrow, featuring two back-to-back lines of terminal strips (typically ¹¹$\text{two}$ sets of ¹²$\text{four}$ terminal strips) where the field wiring is connected.¹³

   

• Connectors: It includes multiple vertical pin cable connectors for connection to the main control or processor boards.¹⁴

   

• Jumpers: The board is equipped with jumper switches and resistor network arrays, indicating that it may have field-configurable options for signal routing, grounding, or current loop setup.¹⁵ This level of configuration is common for low-level signal boards.

   

Part Number Breakdown

The designation ¹⁶$\text{DS200TBPAG1A}$ follows the standard ¹⁷$\text{Mark V}$ convention:¹⁸

• DS200: Identifies the board as belonging to the ¹⁹$\text{Mark V}$ series.²⁰

   

• TBPA: The functional acronym for the specific Termination Board type.
• G1: Indicates the Group One product generation.
• A: Denotes the functional revision level.
