DS200SHVMG1AGE

The GE DS200SHVMG1AGE is a high – voltage M – Frame interface board developed by General Electric, designed specifically for the Mark V board series. This board serves as a critical link in the system, enabling seamless interfacing across the drive. It acts as an interface medium between the system’s power supply board (DCFB or SDCI) and the power connect card (PCC A) with the SCR bridge on the M – Frame drive. As part of the Mark V series, the GE DS200SHVMG1AGE is engineered to work with a range of GE exciters and drives. Although the Mark V series has been discontinued, the GE DS200SHVMG1AGE still holds value in legacy systems due to its reliable performance and unique functionality. It plays a pivotal role in maintaining the operation of existing installations that rely on the Mark V architecture.

The GE DS200SHVMG1AGE can accurately convert shunt signals in the range of – 500 to 500 mV into differential frequency outputs between 0 and 500 kHz. This conversion is achieved through the interaction of DC positive and negative shunts with the on – board VCO (voltage – controlled oscillator) circuits. The precise conversion ensures that the power supply board (DCFB or SDCI) and the power connect card (PCC A) receive accurate frequency signals, allowing them to adjust their output as required for optimal drive operation.

With seventeen selectable jumpers on board, users have the flexibility to configure the attenuation of the drive according to specific application requirements. This feature enables the board to be customized for different industrial setups, enhancing its adaptability in various scenarios. Whether it’s a high – power or a low – power application, the GE DS200SHVMG1AGE can be fine – tuned to provide the best performance.

The board is equipped with a variety of Mark V series connectors, including CT1PL, CT3PL, DC1PL, DC2PL, 1CPL, SQPL, IA1PL, and IA2PL. Each connector is designed for specific applications and Mark V series products. For example, the 1CPL connectors are used for specific current output connections. This wide range of connector types facilitates convenient and voltage – safe interfacing with other Mark V series PCBs within the overall automated drive assembly, ensuring seamless integration and reliable operation.

In power generation plants, the GE DS200SHVMG1AGE is used in systems that control the excitation and drive of generators. It helps in regulating the power output by ensuring proper communication between different components of the control system. For instance, it interfaces the power supply and power connect cards with the SCR bridge in the generator’s control setup, maintaining stable operation even under varying load conditions.

In industrial manufacturing processes, especially those involving large – scale motors and drives, the GE DS200SHVMG1AGE plays a crucial role. It can be found in systems that control the speed and torque of motors, ensuring smooth operation of conveyor belts, robotic arms, and other machinery. By providing accurate signal conversion and flexible drive configuration, it contributes to the efficient and reliable operation of the manufacturing process.
In legacy industrial control systems that still rely on the Mark V architecture, the GE DS200SHVMG1AGE is an essential component. It continues to support the operation of these systems, allowing for minimal disruption during the transition to newer technologies or providing a cost – effective solution for maintaining existing setups.
