GE DS3800NTBL/RR D Bus Terminator

 


 

Brief Product Description

 

The GE DS3800NTBL/RR (D Bus Terminator) is an electronic circuit board used in industrial control systems to properly terminate a data bus. In a networked system, a terminator is crucial for preventing signal reflections, which can cause data corruption and communication errors. This module ensures the integrity of the data signals traveling along the “D” bus, which is a key communication channel in the GE control system.

Key Specifications:

  • Type: Data Bus Terminator
  • Part Number: DS3800NTBL/RR
  • Compatibility: GE industrial drive and control systems
  • Function: Prevents signal reflections on a data bus
  • Application: Industrial automation, network communication

 

Detailed Product Overview

 

In a digital communication network, signals travel as electrical pulses. When a pulse reaches the end of a long wire or bus, it can “bounce back” if the line isn’t properly terminated. This reflected pulse interferes with new signals, leading to data loss, intermittent errors, and unreliable system performance. The GE DS3800NTBL/RR is designed to solve this problem. It acts as a “signal sponge,” absorbing the electrical pulses at the end of the D bus and preventing them from reflecting back. This ensures that the data being transmitted is clean and accurate, which is essential for a stable and responsive control system.

The “RR” in the part number indicates that the unit is a remanufactured part. This is a common and cost-effective practice for maintaining legacy industrial systems. Remanufactured parts are inspected, repaired, and tested to meet original specifications, offering a reliable alternative to new components at a lower cost.
