GE DS200SDCCG5A Drive Control Card for EX2000 Series

Technical Specifications Breakdown

Key parameters for the DS200SDCCG5A are listed below for quick reference:

Industry Applications

The DS200SDCCG5A is used in excitation control systems for turbine generators. Its three 16-bit microprocessors handle specific drive control tasks: one 80C186 microcontroller manages user interfaces and external regulating loops; one 80C196 processor handles motor control inner loops; and a TMS320C25 digital signal processor executes math-intensive operations. This architecture makes it suitable for applications requiring precise current regulation and motor control, such as in power generation and industrial turbine systems.

Installation & Setup Guidance

When installing the DS200SDCCG5A, ensure the board is properly seated in the backplane and all connectors are secure. The card includes configurable hardware jumpers (Berg-type and wire jumpers) that are pre-set at the factory. Do not move these jumpers unless directed by the test data sheets provided with the controller. For software configuration, use the ST2000, GE Control System Toolbox, or LynxOS Drive Configurator. Always refer to the instruction manual GEI-100029D for detailed procedures.

Maintenance & Reliability

To maintain reliability, inspect the DS200SDCCG5A periodically for signs of dust or corrosion. Ensure the operating environment is clean and within specified limits. The onboard memory chips (four EPROMs and one EEPROM) are socketed, allowing for easy replacement if needed. However, only qualified personnel should perform any modifications. The card's robust design supports long service life in industrial settings.

Drive Control Card for Critical Excitation Systems

The GE DS200SDCCG5A is a Drive Control Card (SDCC) designed for the EX2000 Series excitation control systems. It serves as the main processor board, housing the primary control circuitry. This card is essential for managing exciter and customer I/O, and it expands processing capability via dual-ported RAM. The DS200SDCCG5A is a revised version of the original DS200SDCCG5, indicated by the "A-rated functional product revision." It is manufactured by General Electric and weighs 1.5 lbs.

Compatibility & Integration

The DS200SDCCG5A is compatible with auxiliary boards such as the DS215SLCC LAN Communications Card, 531X309SPC Signal Processor Card, and DS200SPCB Multibridge Signal Processor Card. These boards can be mounted using the provided connectors and standoffs, enabling expanded functionality like network connectivity or enhanced signal processing. The card also interfaces with other EX2000 series boards via dual-ported RAM.
