The GE DS200LDCCH1A DS200LDCCH1ANA Drive Control LAN Communications Board handles high-speed data exchange between drives. This board manages communication traffic on the drive control local area network. You will find it connecting multiple drive modules in a single system. It ensures reliable command and feedback transmission across the network.
Core Technical Specifications
The GE DS200LDCCH1A DS200LDCCH1ANA 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 fit. The total assembly weighs approximately 0.65 kilograms. Two fiber optic communication ports occupy the board’s front edge. Each port supports full-duplex data transmission at 10 Mbps.

Connectors and Status Indicators
The GE DS200LDCCH1A DS200LDCCH1ANA Drive Control LAN Communications Board uses one 64-pin DIN connector for backplane communication. This connector exchanges data with the main drive processor. Two ST-type fiber optic ports handle transmit and receive functions. A green LED confirms network link presence. A yellow LED flashes during active data transmission. Moreover, a red LED indicates a communication timeout or CRC error.
Network Management and Diagnostics
This communications board automatically detects node addresses on the LAN. It forwards messages only to the intended destination drive. The board also performs cyclic redundancy checking on every packet. Furthermore, the GE DS200LDCCH1A DS200LDCCH1ANA Drive Control LAN Communications Board stores network error logs in onboard memory. You can retrieve these logs through the drive interface. This feature simplifies troubleshooting of intermittent communication faults.
Energy Storage and Isolation Features
This communications board contains no electrolytic capacitors on signal paths. Therefore, it stores negligible energy after power removal. Each fiber optic port provides complete electrical isolation between drives. This isolation prevents ground loops from affecting data integrity. The GE DS200LDCCH1A DS200LDCCH1ANA Drive Control LAN Communications Board operates from 0°C to +50°C ambient temperature. Use only multimode fiber cables with ST connectors. Do not exceed the maximum cable length of 2000 meters.
