Functional Description

DS3800HMPK1N is a Microprocessor Board developed by GE. It is a part of the Mark IV control system. A Microprocessor Board integrates a microprocessor to execute and manage computational and control tasks within a system. These boards are vital components in applications, including industrial automation, control systems, and computing devices.

Features

• Microprocessor Integration: The board is equipped with a high-performance microprocessor that handles essential control tasks with speed and efficiency.
• LED Indicators: The front of the board features.
  
  • 3 red indicator LEDs for monitoring specific system statuses.
  • 1 amber LED for additional visual feedback.
• EPROM Modules: The inclusion of Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory (EPROM) modules allows for flexible firmware storage and updates, enhancing the board’s adaptability to various operational requirements.
• Connectors: Board is populated with
  
  • A 34-pin modular connector for interfacing with other system components.
  • Two 50-pin connectors located adjacent to each other, primarily used for ribbon cables.
• Retention Levers: Designed for secure and stable installation, the retention levers provide added reliability during operation.

Design Considerations

• The two 50-pin connectors on the board are designed to connect ribbon cables. While essential for operation, these cables may potentially obstruct airflow, reducing cooling efficiency around the microprocessor. Adequate ventilation or strategic cable management is recommended to maintain optimal operating temperatures.
• It is engineered for durability and precision, making it suitable for harsh industrial environments.
