Functional Description

DS200SDCCG4AHD is a Drive Control Board developed by GE. It is a part of the Mark V control system. The SDCC Drive Control Board serves as the central control unit for a drive or exciter, managing both hardware circuitry and software operations. It features three high-performance 16-bit microprocessors, interconnected through dual-ported RAM (DPR). This DPR architecture allows for simultaneous and independent access by multiple processors, ensuring efficient data exchange and real-time processing for optimal drive performance. ;

Characteristics

• Advanced Processing Power: Equipped with three microprocessors to optimize drive control, motor control, and complex computations.
• Seamless Integration: Features built-in interface circuitry that connects with other GE Mark V components, ensuring smooth communication and operation.
• Precision Motor Control: Supports AC motion control, DC phase control, and general-purpose motor regulation, delivering efficient and stable performance.
• High-Speed Digital Signal Processing: The TMS320C25 DSP (Co-motor Processor) enables fast and precise mathematical calculations, improving motor efficiency and accuracy.
• Built-in Peripheral Functions: The board integrates interrupt controllers, DMA, wait-state generators, and timer/counter functions to enhance system performance.
• Reliable and Durable: Built to withstand industrial environments, ensuring long-term performance and minimal downtime.

Testpoints

The Drive Control Board is designed with onboard testpoints to facilitate system diagnostics, troubleshooting, and performance verification. These testpoints are metal posts strategically placed along specific signal paths, allowing engineers and technicians to:

• Measure and analyze electrical signals in real time.
• Detect faults and verify proper operation of system components.
• Use oscilloscopes, multimeters, or other measuring instruments for precise diagnostics.
• Streamline troubleshooting processes, reducing downtime and maintenance costs.

These testpoints are critical for preventive maintenance, system calibration, and performance optimization, ensuring the reliable operation of the SDCC in industrial applications.

Hardware Features

The  Drive Control Board features configurable hardware settings, allowing customization based on specific application requirements. These configurations are managed using:

• Berg-Type Jumpers (JP Nomenclature): Manually adjustable jumpers that enable or disable specific functions. Used for customizing drive parameters and selecting system modes.
• Wire Jumpers (WJ Nomenclature): Factory-set wire jumpers for test procedures and user-defined application options. Designed to maintain stable operation while offering flexibility in setup.
• Factory Preset Configurations: Most jumpers are factory-configured to ensure optimal performance and compatibility. Each SDCC board is shipped with test data sheets (located in the drive/exciter door pocket) that indicate factory-set positions for reference. These sheets help users verify settings and make adjustments if needed.
