Functional Description

DS215SDCCG1AZZ01B is a Drive Control Card developed by GE. It is a part of Mark V control system. The SDCC contains the primary control circuitry and software for a drive or exciter. The SDCC consists of three 16-bit microprocessors and associated circuits coupled via dual-ported RAM. The SDCC also has interface circuitry that joins with other boards to provide various ac and dc motor drive configurations. The interface circuitry regulates, processes and controls drive, motor, and customer I/O signals. The three major processors that make up the SDCC are:

Control Processors

Drive Control Processor

• An 80C186 microcontroller (U1) that supports both digital and analog I/O and has many built-in peripheral features.
• Address decoding for chip selections, wait-state generators, an interrupt controller, timers/counters, and the direct memory access (DMA) controller is a few of these features.
• User interfaces, external regulating loops (such as speed and location), and system-level operations make up DCP software.

Motor Control Processor

• An 80C196 microcontroller (U21) having high-speed I/O, traditional digital I/O, analog I/O, timer/counters, and a watchdog timer.
• Inner loops like current regulators and technology- and motor-specific operations like dc phase control, ac motion control, and ac general purpose make up MCP software.

Co-Motor Processor

• Motor control algorithms that are too sophisticated for the MCP are handled by a TMS320C25 digital signal processor (U35).
• The SDCC only employs this CPU and the hardware that goes with it when the drive calls for more processing power. Just its dual-ported RAM and EPROM are interfaced by the CMP.
• The DS215SDCC card has onboard software that is contained in five memory chips: four EPROMs (U11, U12, U22, and U23) that hold configuration data encoded at the factory and one EEPROM (U9) that contains field-adjustable parameters. These memory chips are housed in sockets on the SDCC.

Card Connections

The SDCC interfaces with the other boards of the controller and external signals via eight connectors (designated _PL). Connectors to other boards are as follows:

• 1PL − I/O between the Power Supply/Interface Board (IMCP, DCI, SDCI, or DCFB) and the SDCC
• 2PL − ±5, 15, and 24 V dc inputs from the Power Supply/Interface Board to the SDCC
• 3PL − SDCC outputs to the LAN Communications Card (SLCC)
• 6PL − I/O between the Drive Terminal Board (NTB) or Simple Drive Terminal Board and the SDCC
• 7PL − I/O between the Signal Processor Card (SPC) or Multibridge Signal Processing Card and the SDCC (not present on SDCCG3s)
• 8PL − I/O between the Drive Terminal Board (NTB) or Simple Drive Terminal Board and the SDCC
• 9PL − Not Used (not present on SDCCG3s)
• 11PL − SDCC outputs to meters (not present on SDCCG3s)

Software Configuration Tools

Any software adjustment, download, or replacement on the SDCC necessitates the use of the ST2000, GE Control System Toolbox, or LynxOS Drive Configurator. Any software adjustments require the applicable drive/exciter instruction book, an appropriate PC, and the ST2000, GE Control System Toolbox, or LynxOS Drive Configurator instruction book.

• ST2000 is a DOS-based software suite used to configure GE DIRECTO-MATIC 2000 control equipment.
• The GE Control System Toolbox is a set of software tools for configuring GE DIRECTO-MATIC 2000 control equipment that runs on Windows.
• The LynxOS Drive Configurator is a software suite used to configure GE DIRECTO-MATIC 2000 control equipment. It is intended for use on a personal computer (PC) running the LynxOS operating system.

Configurable Hardware

• The SDCC includes hardware that can be configured for the application:
  • Hardware jumpers of the Berg type (manually movable), denoted by a JP nomenclature
  • Wire jumpers, denoted by the WJ abbreviation
• These jumpers are used for factory testing or user-defined options. The majority of the jumper options have been pre-programmed. These factory set positions are indicated on the test data sheets that come with each controller (in the drive/exciter door pocket).
