DS200ACNAG1ACC Arcnet Connection Card

About the DS200ACNAG1ACC

The DS200ACNAG1ACC is a GE Mark V component that functions as an Attached Resource Computer Network Card,  or ARCNET. The Mark V is a gas/steam turbine management system developed by GE in the 1990s as part of their successful Speedtronic line.  While Speedtronic systems have been managing heavy-duty turbines since the 1960s, significant advancements in technology allowed the MKV to have features like on-line repair of its triple-redundant controllers, full turbine-generator monitoring, digital valve positioning, and enhanced diagnostics that help technicians isolate a fault to the card level. The Mark V Series is one of the final General Electric product series offered, although it also exists as a now-obsolete legacy product series due to its eventual manufacturing discontinuation that took place in the numerous years following its release. This DS200ACNAG1ACC product offering is not the originally-developed PCB of its specific Mark V Series functionality; that would be the DS200ACNAG1 parent printed circuit board missing all three of this DS200ACNAG1ACC device's three significant revisions.

Hardware Tips and Specifications

The DS200ACNAG1ACC facilitates ARCNET LAN communications within the larger system.  The board is placed to accept signals from the main processor board (LDCC) and pass them on to the turbine control operator interface, or vice-versa.  This system uses coaxial cables. The ACNA card is designed to accept two coaxial cables, with internal termination processes within this DS200ACNAG1ACC product's assembly being handled by said cables. It is also important to note the <Status> S data link connection to the turbine controller is made on this board. Given this DS200ACNAG1ACC product's initial legacy series product status, it should come as no surprise that it is not offered alongside any meaningful suppository of original instructional manual materials. With this being true, the DS200ACNAG1ACC functional product number itself can be considered a main source of DS200ACNAG1A
