GE DS200UPLAG1AAA LAN Power Supply Card

الوصف

The GE DS200UPLAG1AAA LAN Power Supply Card is a printed circuit board ($\text{PCB}$) designed for the General Electric Mark V Speedtronic Turbine Control System.

Its core function, identified by the acronym ¹$\text{UPLA}$, is to act as a LAN Power Supply Circuit.²

⚡ Function and Purpose

The DS200UPLAG1AAA provides the stable, regulated ³$\text{DC}$ power necessary to run the communication electronics that form the backbone of the Mark V’s control architecture.⁴

• Critical Power Source: It supplies power to the on-board components that handle network communication, ensuring a clean and consistent voltage supply to the LAN circuits within the turbine control panel.⁵
• System Integrity: In the Mark V’s Triple Modular Redundancy ($\text{TMR}$) system, reliable communication is paramount for the controllers ($\text{R}$, $\text{S}$, $\text{T}$) to perform the 2-out-of-3 voting logic. The ⁶$\text{UPLA}$ board’s role is to ensure the integrity of this communication network by eliminating power supply disruptions.⁷
• Application: This board is typically used in industrial environments for controlling and managing gas, steam, or wind turbines.

🔢 Understanding the Part Number

The $\text{GE}$ part number structure provides specific details about the board:

The multiple ‘A’s at the end indicate specific revision levels to the original $\text{UPLA}$ design, ensuring the board meets updated specifications for functional performance and physical layout.

💡 Important Note for Maintenance

The DS200UPLAG1AAA is a legacy component for a discontinued product line.⁸ When replacing this board, it is crucial to verify the settings, as $\text{UPLA}$ cards often contain:

• Jumpers ($\text{JPs}$) and Switches ($\text{SWs}$): Used to configure the board for a specific application or communication protocol.⁹
• Fuse: For circuit protection.

Best practice is to record and replicate the settings (jumpers and $\text{DIP}$ switches) from the old board onto the replacement board before installation to avoid configuration issues.
