GE DS200AAHAH1A DS200AAHAH1AED Arcnet Hub LAN Driver Board

The GE DS200AAHAH1A DS200AAHAH1AED belongs to the Mark V series. General Electric designed this board as an Arcnet hub driver. This component manages local area network communication between controls. It also amplifies signals for multiple network nodes.

Technical Specifications

The table below lists all key parameters for the GE DS200AAHAH1A DS200AAHAH1AED.

Arcnet Hub Features

The GE DS200AAHAH1A DS200AAHAH1AED uses a rugged four-layer PCB. Over 135 resistors, capacitors, and line drivers process network signals. A single 64-pin DIN connector links this board to the backplane. Consequently, network packets reach all connected nodes reliably. Five onboard LEDs show power, link status, and per-port activity. Moreover, tantalum capacitors provide stable energy for driver circuits.

Network Connectivity

You get four BNC coaxial ports on this Arcnet hub board. Each port connects to a separate network node. The GE DS200AAHAH1A DS200AAHAH1AED operates at 2.5 Mbps Arcnet standard speed. This active hub supports star network topology for better reliability. Therefore, this board allows up to eight devices per hub configuration. Each segment can run up to 2000 feet of coaxial cable.

Signal Driving Capabilities

Active driver circuits regenerate incoming signals before retransmission. This regeneration eliminates signal degradation over long distances. The GE DS200AAHAH1A DS200AAHAH1AED also provides electrical isolation between ports. As a result, a fault on one port does not affect other network segments. Always handle this LAN driver board by its edges. This precaution prevents electrostatic discharge damage.

Power and Energy Storage

You must install this board inside a protected Mark V cabinet. The backplane supplies 5 VDC to the GE DS200AAHAH1A DS200AAHAH1AED. Ceramic capacitors filter high-frequency noise on power lines. Tantalum capacitors store energy for short hold-up during transients. Consequently, the board delivers consistent network performance over time.

Mechanical Layout

This Arcnet hub board measures exactly 25.4 cm in width. Its height reaches 17.8 cm. The total weight equals just 0.45 kg. As a result, this board saves valuable rack space. The lightweight design also reduces stress on the backplane connector.

Installation Context

This board works alongside other Mark V processor and I/O cards. Its compact size allows easy placement near network cabling. The robust design handles continuous industrial communication. Choose the GE DS200AAHAH1A DS200AAHAH1AED for your Arcnet LAN driver needs.
