Functional Description

DS200GHDQF1AAH is a Software PROM Set developed by GE. It is a part of Mark V control system. Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory store data permanently, even without power. However, unlike removable storage like USB drives, EPROMs needed a special external device to write information onto them before being placed on a circuit board. Reprogramming an EPROM involved a more drastic step: removing it from the circuit board and blasting it with intense ultraviolet (UV) light to erase the existing data. This made them less convenient for frequent changes compared to newer technologies.

System Diagnostics

• The Mark V control system boasts a robust suite of built-in diagnostics. Imagine it as a built-in doctor, constantly monitoring its own health. These diagnostics operate in three ways:
  • Power-Up Checkup: Every time the system starts, it runs a series of tests to ensure everything is functioning properly.
  • Background Monitoring: The Mark V keeps a watchful eye on its internal workings even during operation. This allows for early detection of potential issues.
  • Manual Diagnosis: When needed, technicians can trigger specific diagnostic routines for a more in-depth analysis.
• These routines have a keen eye for detail, pinpointing faults down to the:
  • Board Level: If a problem arises within the control panel, the diagnostics can identify the exact circuit board causing the issue.
  • Circuit Level: For sensors and output devices (like actuators), the diagnostics can pinpoint the specific circuit malfunctioning.
• The Mark V's design philosophy is all about redundancy, ensuring continued operation even if a fault occurs. This is where the "triple redundant" design comes in. Imagine having three identical systems running in parallel. If one fails, the other two can keep things going. This allows for:
  • Online Board Replacement: With the system still operational, technicians can swap out faulty boards within the control panel.
  • Sensor/Actuator Replacement (when possible): If a sensor or actuator fails and physical access permits safely isolating the system, technicians can replace it while the system remains online.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is DS200GHDQF1AAH?
It is a software PROM set developed by GE under the Mark V series.

What are the built-in diagnostics of the Mark V control system?
The Mark V has a comprehensive suite of diagnostics that run at startup, continuously monitor the system during operation, and can be triggered manually for deeper inspection. These diagnostics pinpoint faults down to the specific circuit board in the control panel or the circuit level within sensors and actuators.

How does Mark V design handle faults?
If one system encounters a fault, the other two can keep the operation going. This redundancy allows for the online replacement of faulty boards within the control panel and, in some cases, the replacement of sensors and actuators while the system remains operational.
