Functional Description
DS200AAHAH2A is an ARCNET Connection Board manufactured and designed by General Electric. The ARCNET Connection Board (AAHA) serves a crucial role by providing the necessary interface connection for ARCNET cables linking R to the IO cores and Human-Machine Interface (HMI). The board is equipped with two BNC connections, namely channels A and B. These connections facilitate the transmission of data between R and the IO cores as well as the HMI.
Features
- APL Connector and Communication: The APL connector plays a key role in establishing communication with the boards containing the ARCNET drivers in R. It serves as a crucial link between the AAHA board and the APL or BPL connector on the PANA board.
- Location and Multiplicity: In location 6 of R, two AAHA boards are installed. This dual-board configuration enhances the system's flexibility and connectivity.
- Internal Communication Infrastructure: The reference to COREBUS highlights its significance as the internal ARCNET link specifically designed for Mark V LM controller IO communications. This infrastructure ensures seamless and efficient communication between the Control Engine and the IO cores.
Product Attributes
- With their distinct functionalities and connections, play a pivotal role in establishing robust communication links within the system, facilitating data flow between R, IO cores, HMI, and other interconnected components.
- It plays a distinct role by connecting R to the COREBUS link. The COREBUS link facilitates communication between the Control Engine and the IO cores, serving as the internal ARCNET link for Mark V LM controller IO communications.
- The APL connector on AAHA2 establishes a connection with the BPL connector on PANA, completing the link for COREBUS communication.
Connectors
- AAHA connectors are an integral part of the system, providing essential links and interfaces for seamless communication within R. Each connector serves a specific purpose in facilitating power supply, ARCNET connections, and communication channels.
- 2PL Connector: The 2PL connector serves as the interface for receiving power from the TCPS (Turbine Control Power Supply) board in R. This connector ensures a reliable power supply to the AAHA board, contributing to the overall functionality and performance of the system.
- APL Connector: The APL connector establishes a crucial ARCNET connection between the AAHA board and the PANA board within R. This connection is vital for the exchange of data and communication between different components, enhancing the interoperability of the system.
- ARCBNC A and ARCBNC B Connectors: ARCBNC A and ARCBNC B connectors are BNC connectors specifically designed for ARCNET communication. These connectors play a central role in facilitating the exchange of data and information between the board and other connected components. The dual-channel configuration (A and B) enhances redundancy and ensures reliable communication.
- EBNC Connector: The EBNC connector, although typically not used, is part of the connectors. This connector may remain inactive in standard configurations but could potentially serve as an auxiliary option for specific system setups or expansions, providing flexibility for future modifications.
- EPL Connector: Similar to the EBNC connector, the connector is typically not used in standard configurations. It may remain dormant in regular system setups but could be reserved for specific applications or system expansions where additional interfaces may be required.
- Versatility and Configurational Flexibility: The presence of connectors like EBNC and EPL, even if not commonly used, reflects the versatility and configurational flexibility designed into the board. This flexibility allows for adaptability to varying system requirements and future expansions, ensuring that the connectors can be utilized as needed.
