DS200TBSAG1A - Termination Module

SPECIFICATIONS

Part No.: DS200TBSAG1A
Manufacturer: General Electric
Country of Manufacture: United States of America (USA)
Product Type: Serial Communication Termination Module
Availability: In Stock
Series: Mark V

Functional Description

DS200TBSAG1A is a Serial Communication Termination Module developed by GE. It is a part of Mark V control system. The module performs a role in managing and terminating serial communication links between various control and monitoring components, ensuring stable and reliable signal transmission throughout the system.

Location and Functionality

The terminal board is physically installed in location eight of rack R2 within the Mark V system framework. It serves as the central connection point for several vital communication and sensor signal lines:

• It interfaces with pressure transducer signal wires originating from the externally mounted XDSA board, which is primarily used in Dynamic Load Encoder (DLE) applications.
• It also handles serial communication link wires connected to the FMVED motor controller system.
• The pressure transducer signals that pass through this terminal board are routed onward to the TCSA board located in rack R, where the signals are processed further for system control and monitoring purposes. Meanwhile, the FMVED serial communication signals are routed to the PCM daughterboard installed on the IO Engine within rack R2, enabling motor controller communications.

TBSA Terminal Board Connections

• P3 Connector: This terminal receives 12 V DC power from the TCSA board in rack R. It supplies power to the DLE serial pressure transducers and simultaneously carries the pressure transducer signals back to the TCSA board for processing.
• P4 Connector: Similar to P3, this connector receives 12 V DC power from the TCSA board in rack R, but it supplies power to the FMVED motor controllers.
• P5 Connector: This connection links FMVED communication channels 1 and 2 from the TBSA board to connector P3 on the PCM daughterboard located on the UCPB (Universal Control Processor Board) within rack R2.
• P6 Connector: This connector links FMVED communication channels 3 and 4 to connector P6 on the PCM daughterboard on the UCPB in rack R2.

TBSA Hardware Configuration

The board is equipped with a series of hardware jumpers labeled JP1 through JP16. These jumpers are used to enable or disable the transmit (Tx) and receive (Rx) circuits for the FMVED motor controller serial links. By configuring these jumpers, technicians can control the communication pathways and ensure proper signal termination and isolation, which is critical for preventing communication errors or noise on the serial links.
