Functional Description

DS200SNPAH1ABB is a Protocol Interface Daughterboard developed by GE. It is a part of Drive Control control system. The Serial Network Protocol Adapter (SNPA) serves as a vital link facilitating communication between the DSPC board and the Series 90-30 Programmable Logic Controller (PLC). It supports two types of serial communication interfaces: RS-232C and isolated RS-485. These interfaces enable seamless data exchange and control commands transmission between the DSPC board and the Series 90-30 PLC.

Features

• The Series 90-30 PLC operates using a specialized communication protocol known as Series Ninety Protocol (SNP). The SNPA is specifically designed to handle communication over this protocol, ensuring compatibility and efficient data transfer between the devices.
• It's important to understand that the SNPA is integrated as a daughterboard within the DSPC system. Its purpose is to bridge the communication gap between the DSPC board and the Series 90-30 PLC, facilitating smooth and reliable interaction between the two components.
• However, it's essential to note that the SNPA is not utilized in LCIs (Local Control Interfaces) equipped with Innovation Series Controllers. These controllers employ different communication mechanisms, rendering the SNPA unnecessary in such setups.
• When comparing the use of a PLC-based Load Commutated Inverter (LCI) to an LCI with an Innovation Series Controller, there's a notable difference in the necessity of the SNPA daughterboard.
• Mounted within the VMEbus rack alongside components such as the SPC and Analog-to-Digital Module, the board provides isolated RS-485 and RS-232C communication channels between the DSPC board and the Series 90-30 PLC.
