MeloAuto-Trusted PLC & DCS Parts Supplier
The GE DS200LDCCH1A DS200LDCCH1ALA Drive Control LAN Communications Board enables high-speed networking between drive controllers. This board manages all data traffic on the drive control local area network. You will find it linking multiple drive modules in industrial automation systems. It guarantees accurate command delivery and feedback collection across the network.
Core Technical Specifications
The GE DS200LDCCH1A DS200LDCCH1ALA Drive Control LAN Communications Board measures 28.0 cm in width and 20.0 cm in height. Its board depth equals 2.0 cm for standard panel mounting. The total assembly weighs approximately 0.65 kilograms. Two fiber optic communication ports sit on the board’s front edge. Each port supports full-duplex data transmission at 10 Mbps.

Connectors and LED Status Indicators
The GE DS200LDCCH1A DS200LDCCH1ALA Drive Control LAN Communications Board uses one 64-pin DIN connector for backplane communication. This connector exchanges all data with the main drive processor. Two ST-type fiber optic ports handle transmit (TX) and receive (RX) functions separately. A green LED confirms an active network link connection. A yellow LED flashes during data transmission or reception. Moreover, a red LED signals a CRC error or network timeout event.
Network Management Features
This communications board automatically assigns and detects node addresses on the LAN. It forwards data packets only to their intended destination drive. The board performs cyclic redundancy checking on every incoming message. Furthermore, the GE DS200LDCCH1A DS200LDCCH1ALA Drive Control LAN Communications Board stores network error logs in onboard non-volatile memory. You can retrieve these diagnostic logs through the drive’s front panel interface. This feature accelerates troubleshooting of intermittent communication failures.
Energy Storage and Electrical Isolation
This communications board contains no electrolytic capacitors on any signal path. Therefore, it stores negligible residual energy after power removal. Each fiber optic port provides complete galvanic isolation between connected drives. This isolation prevents ground loops from corrupting data integrity. The GE DS200LDCCH1A DS200LDCCH1ALA Drive Control LAN Communications Board operates reliably from 0°C to +50°C ambient temperature. Use only multimode fiber cables with ST connectors for proper signal strength. Do not exceed the maximum fiber length of 2000 meters per segment.
