This board integrates over 115 discrete components onto a multi-layer PCB. Its dimensions measure roughly 7.8 inches wide by 6.2 inches high. The total weight reaches about 0.52 kilograms including the protective coating. Eight drive output channels send control signals to actuator cards. Four status feedback inputs monitor card health and position. One backplane connector provides power and command paths from the main rack. The design stores up to 240 joules of capacitive energy for stable drive signal generation.

Functional Layout and Drive Management

The GE DS200TBPXG1A DS200TBPXG1AAA generates drive signals with high precision and repeatability. Each drive transistor switches output lines according to controller commands. Moreover, the board includes protection diodes to prevent back-EMF damage. This variant includes upgraded transistors for better current handling and switching speed. General Electric specifically designed this drive control board for the Mark V Speedtronic system. You can replace an older board with this unit without changing the rack configuration.

Installation Guidelines and Compatibility

This card drive control board mounts directly into a standard Mark V rack slot. Always disconnect system power before handling the GE DS200TBPXG1A DS200TBPXG1AAA. The board works with existing GE Mark V backplanes and actuator cards. Verify your firmware revision supports this variant. This board maintains backward compatibility with earlier Mark V versions. Proper installation ensures reliable card drive control and system integrity.
