The DS200SLCCG1 was developed by General Electric as a local area network (LAN) communication card and is a member of the Mark V series of drive boards. Members of this series can be installed into a number of drives and exciters across the GE family and after installation provides a communication medium for the host drive or exciter. This unit is a G1 version of the board, which features circuitries needed for both DLAN and ARCNET network communications. In its primary function it provides both isolated and nonisolated communications circuits to the host drive or exciter and features an integrated LAN control processor (LCP). The programs for the LCP are stored in the two removable EPROM memory cartridges while dual ported RAM provides necessary space for both the LCP and the external Drive Control board to communicate. A 16 key alphanumeric keypad is also designed into the board allowing users to easily access error codes and diagnostic information in board. When you receive the board it will be wrapped in a protective static resistant plastic covering. Prior to removing from its protective casing it is best practice to review all installation parameters outlined by the manufacturer and allow only qualified personnel to handle and install this communication board.
