GE A16B-2200-0340/06A PC Circuit Board

This PC circuit board provides critical control functions for GE Fanuc CNC systems. The GE A16B-2200-0340/06A integrates axis control and I/O management on a single assembly. Surface-mount technology populates both sides of the board for maximum density. Consequently, machine tool builders can rely on this board for precision servo control.

Technical Specifications of the PC Circuit Board

The GE A16B-2200-0340/06A measures 320 mm in width and 250 mm in height. Its depth reaches 45 mm including all connectors and mounting brackets. The board weighs approximately 0.95 kg including all electronic components. Three front panel LEDs indicate power status, axis enable, and fault conditions. The board features two 50-pin ribbon cable headers for servo interface connections. This design stores minimal energy in small decoupling capacitors only. Therefore, the board contains no batteries or large energy storage elements.

Functional Features and Motion Control

The GE A16B-2200-0340/06A generates ±10V analog commands for servo amplifiers. You can configure the board for semi-closed or full-closed loop operation. Onboard firmware handles position feedback from pulse coders or linear scales. The board also provides two dedicated high-speed input channels for limit switches. Consequently, machine builders achieve precise axis coordination for milling and turning applications.

Installation and System Integration

You must install this PC circuit board into a dedicated CNC rack slot. The GE A16B-2200-0340/06A requires careful alignment with backplane guide rails. Two 50-pin ribbon cables connect the board to servo amplifier units. A front panel test point array allows voltage verification during troubleshooting. Always verify firmware revision before replacing an existing board in a working system.

Maintenance and Reliability Benefits

Because the GE A16B-2200-0340/06A stores no battery-backed data, it needs no periodic battery changes. Technicians can remove and reinstall the board without losing any axis parameters. The conformal coating protects copper traces from moisture and dust in shop floor environments. Consequently, this circuit board delivers long service life in metal cutting and fabrication equipment.
