Product Description

General Electric developed the DS200LDCCH1AGA card to operate as a drive control and local area network (LAN) communications board. This card is housed in the Mark V series of replacement drive boards compatible with GE brand DIRECTO-MATIC 2000 drives and exciters. When installed in a drive the board provides an array of drive and I/O control functions for the drive.

The DS200LDCCH1AGA communication card houses four microprocessors onboard. A LAN control processor (LCP) is available to accept five different bus types fed to the drive. A drive control processor (DCP) is also available to process analog and digital I/O conversions. The DCP is also capable of controlling and converting peripheral I/O devices such as encoders and timers. A motor control processor (MCP) is provided to process digital I/O sent to the drive. Should calculations require extra processing power the DCP cannot provide, the co-motor processor (CMP) will provide the additional power needed to complete these functions. The board is completed with an alphanumeric keyboard used for system programming and diagnostic purposes.
