FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION:

DS200PANAH2A is an ARCNET LAN Driver Board manufactured and designed by General Electric and is part of the Mark V LM Series used in GE Speedtronic Gas Turbine Control systems. The LAN Driver Board (PANA) provides ARCNET communication for COREBUS and Stage Link. Located as a daughterboard on the LBC586P board in , PANA connects to both AAHA boards through its APL and BPL connectors. The PANA board transfers the data to the Control Engine LBC586P processor board through its P1 and P2 bus connectors. One PANA board is in location 1 of .

PANA CONFIGURATION:

Hardware: The four switches on the PANA board are used to set the COREBUS and Stage Link ARCNET addresses for the core. Two are for channel A (Stage Link) and two are for channel B (COREBUS). Hardware jumpers are used to set the interrupt, I/O address, and memory address for each ARCNET channel. These settings are all factory-specific to the internal software settings. Hardware jumper settings on replacement boards should be verified that they are configured the same as the hardware jumper settings on the old board.

INSTALLATION:

• Connect the Core Bus ARCNET cable to the rightmost connector along the bottom edge of the PANA card, which is marked BPL. It should be inserted with the key on the cable connector facing inwards. This connector was unused in the UCPB control engine.

• Connect the Stage Link ARCNET cable to the leftmost connector along the bottom edge of the PANA card, which is marked APL. It should be inserted with the key on the cable connector facing inwards. This connector was used for the Core Bus ARCNET connection on the UCPB control engine.

• These signals are written to the LBC586P board via the J1 and J3 bus connectors. The COREBUS and Stage Link signals written to the PANA board are passed to the LBC586P via the J1 and J3 bus connectors. Verify the Stagelink ID of the controller with the drawings supplied. This is set on the PANA daughterboard on the LBC586P Control Engine board in the core.

• The Mark V LM Control Engine Stagelink ID is set by rotary switches on the PANA daughterboard mounted on the LBC586P board located in the core. The PANA board has four rotary switches across its upper edge. The pair on the left is to set the Stagelink ID. The pair on the right is to set the Control Engine COREBUS ID.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

What is an ARCNET LAN Driver Board?

The ARCNET LAN Driver Board is a network interface card used to connect devices to an ARCNET (Attached Resource Computer Network) local area network. It allows data communication between computers and other devices using the ARCNET protocol.

How do I set the Stage Link ID for the controller?

The Stage Link ID is set using rotary switches located on the PANA daughterboard mounted on the LBC586P board. The left pair of switches is for the Stagelink ID, while the right pair is for the COREBUS ID.

What is the physical layer used by ARCNET?

The ARCNET LAN Driver Board uses differential Manchester encoding over a twisted pair or coaxial cable for the physical layer. The standard physical medium for ARCNET is RG-62/U coaxial cable (for legacy systems) or CAT5 twisted-pair cable in newer implementations, especially in hybrid networks.
