الوصف
The GE DS200TCQBG1A is an RST Analog Extender Card for the GE Mark V Speedtronic Turbine Control System.
This part number identifies a specialized accessory used primarily for maintenance and diagnostics, rather than a permanent I/O board installed during normal operation.
🛠️ Product Function and Identity
The DS200TCQBG1A is specifically designed to facilitate the testing and troubleshooting of active circuit boards within the Mark V control system.
Extender Card Role
- Diagnostic Tool: Its primary function is to serve as an intermediary circuit board, physically extending the main I/O board (like the DS200TCQAG1A) out of its backplane slot while maintaining the electrical connection.
- Live Troubleshooting: By extending the main board, technicians can easily access test points, components, and LEDs with probes (e.g., from a multimeter or oscilloscope) while the turbine is running and the board is active. This is crucial for tracing intermittent signals, measuring voltages, and diagnosing issues without interrupting the system’s function or needing to shut down the redundant core.
- Pin-for-Pin Match: The Extender Card must be a perfect electrical match (pin-for-pin) to the backplane and the board it is extending to prevent damage or signal distortion.
Part Number Breakdown
- DS200: Marks it as a component of the GE Mark V series.
- TCQB: This section often relates to the functionality of the board it supports, typically associated with pulse rate, generator, or specialized I/O functions that work alongside the main TCQA (Analog I/O) board.
- G1A: Represents the specific hardware revision level. The ‘G1’ indicates the main design revision, and the trailing ‘A’ indicates a minor artwork or component revision.
- RST: Confirms it’s designed to interface with boards in the Triple Modular Redundancy (TMR) architecture (R, S, and T cores) of the Mark V.
⚠️ Important Note
When dealing with the DS200TCQBG1A, it is vital to remember:
- It is an accessory, not an active I/O board. You will typically not find this card permanently installed in a functioning Mark V cabinet.
- Compatibility is key. It must be compatible with the specific generation and revision of the Mark V backplane and the I/O card being tested.
