Product Type: Network Controller Board
Availability: In Stock
Series: Mark IV

Functional Description

DS3800HMPG1G1D is a Network Controller Board developed by GE. It is a part of the Mark IV control system. Designed to manage and facilitate communication between components in a network. It serves as the hardware interface between components and system, or other equipment and a network, ensuring smooth data exchange and connectivity.

Features

• Designed for fast and straightforward installation within the drive system. Its modular design ensures minimal downtime during setup or replacement.
• Features a modular connector at one end for secure and efficient integration into the system. Includes retention levers at the other end, ensuring the board remains securely seated during operation.
• Populated with two red LEDs and one amber LED, all visible from the front of the board. The LEDs provide real-time feedback on the board's operational status:
  
  • Amber LED: Indicates power and operational status. It remains lit when the board is functioning correctly.
  • Red LEDs: Used for diagnostic purposes during startup or fault conditions.
• Equipped with a microprocessor for processing instructions. Contains erasable programmable read-only memory (EPROM) modules to store the programming code and firmware for the microprocessor. Includes a 34-pin connector, enabling seamless data transfer and communication within the control system.

Attributes

• EPROM Modules: The EPROM modules store the firmware and programming instructions required by the microprocessor to execute its functions. When replacing the board, these modules must be transferred from the old board to the new one to ensure consistent performance.
• Diagnostic Capabilities: During startup, the board runs a sequence of diagnostic tests. If all tests are successful, the amber LED remains lit, confirming the board is operational. If the amber LED fails to light, it indicates a power issue or malfunction.

Replacement Guidelines

• Replacement boards come with empty EPROM module sockets to allow the transfer of existing EPROMs from the old board. This ensures:
• The new board operates with the same programming code and firmware, maintaining consistency with the original system.
  The drive resumes its previous performance and operational characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is DS3800HMPG1G1D?
It is a Network Controller Board developed by GE under the Mark IV series.

What do the indicator LEDs signify?
Amber LED Indicates that the board is powered and operational. Red LEDs Used for diagnostics during startup or fault conditions. If the amber LED is not lit, it typically indicates a power issue.

What are EPROM modules, and why are they important?
EPROM modules store the firmware and programming instructions for the board’s microprocessor. These modules ensure the board operates consistently with the system's original configuration.

Why do replacement boards come with empty EPROM sockets?
Replacement boards are shipped with empty EPROM sockets so that the EPROM modules from the old board can be transferred to the new one. This ensures the replacement board behaves identically to the original.
