Energy Storage	470 µF at 35V

GE DS200TCQEG2A DS200TCQEG2AED stores energy using two electrolytic capacitors. Together, they provide 470 µF at 35V rating for processor hold-up. This energy storage maintains operation during 30 millisecond power interruptions. Therefore, the board prevents data corruption during brief voltage sags.

Design and Integration

Both the GE DS200TCQEG2A and DS200TCQEG2AED versions share identical processor topology. These boards use eight-layer PCB construction with controlled impedance traces for high-speed signals. Consequently, the GE DS200TCQEG2A DS200TCQEG2AED operates reliably from 0°C to +55°C ambient temperature.

For installation, you need M3 screws for the four mounting holes. The board draws 400 mA typical current from the 24V DC supply. The backup battery retains CMOS settings for up to 5 years. We recommend using forced air cooling for high-temperature environments.

Practical Application

This processor board executes real-time control algorithms for turbine and generator systems. It runs application code for speed, load, and temperature regulation. The GE DS200TCQEG2A DS200TCQEG2AED communicates with I/O modules via the VME backplane. Therefore, it serves as the central computing unit for GE industrial control platforms.
