Description

DS200ACNAG1ADD: Product Overview​
The GE DS200ACNAG1ADD​ is an ARCNET connection card designed specifically for GE’s Mark V series​ of turbine control systems. As a critical component of the Mark V ecosystem, it enables efficient communication between the main processor boards (LDCC), operator interface, and other system components via ARCNET— a token-bus network protocol optimized for industrial automation.
Role in Automation Systems:
Positioned as the “network interface” in Mark V systems, the DS200ACNAG1ADD performs two primary functions:
  1. Data Transmission: Transmits signals between the main processor and operator interface (and vice versa) over coaxial cables, ensuring real-time communication for turbine control and monitoring.
  2. Network Reliability: Supports ARCNET’s token-bus protocol, which guarantees collision-free data transmission and high reliability—critical for maintaining turbine stability in power generation applications.
Core Functionality:
  • ARCNET Connectivity: The board provides two BNC plugs (right-angled, female) for connecting to ARCNET coaxial cables, enabling integration with Mark V’s network architecture.
  • Signal Processing: Uses metal film resistors, capacitors, and a diode to filter and condition signals, ensuring accurate data transmission over the network.
  • Relay Control: Includes two relays (with detailed diagrams) for controlling network switches or other devices, enhancing system flexibility.
Platform Benefits (Mark V Series):
The DS200ACNAG1ADD leverages GE’s Mark V platform, which is renowned for:
  • Reliability: Industrial-grade components and a rugged design ensure 24/7 operation in harsh turbine hall environments (e.g., high temperature, vibration).
  • Integration: Seamlessly connects with Mark V main processor boards (LDCC) and operator interfaces, reducing setup time and effort.
  • Legacy Support: As a “final product” in the Mark V series, it maintains compatibility with existing turbine control architectures, critical for power plants and industrial facilities with legacy installations.
