GE DS200VPBLG1A Key features
Supports DSP and I/O modules via robust J2/J3 slots
Layered power plane design minimizes electrical noise and crosstalk
Comprehensive diagnostic/test points aid maintenance and troubleshooting
Configurable tachometer settings via jumpers and terminal block
USA-made multi-layer PCB ensures industrial-grade quality and reliability
INSTALLATION:
Power off the VME rack before servicing.
Align the PCB into the VME chassis, ensuring J2 and J3 connectors seat fully.
Tighten chassis screws on board flange for secure mounting.
Power on and verify backplane power LEDs and module error flags are normal.


Performance comparison
Parameter | DS200VPBLG1A | DS200VPBLG1ACC | DS200VPROH1B |
Function | VME backplane board | Revised backplane board | Trip protection logic |
Slot Compatibility | DSPC / I/O / FCGD | Same | VME slot only |
Diagnostics | 60 test points + port | Same | Overspeed indicators |
Mounting Location | Mark V drive rack | Same | Same |
Summary:
The DS200VPBLG1A is a central VME backplane board in Mark V systems. Compared to other versions like DS200VPBLG1ACC, it shares the same slot structure and diagnostic access. The VPRO series boards work alongside it to manage protection logic.
Typical cooperation cases
Power Plant Inverter Racks
Installed in load commutator inverter cabinets to house DSPC, gate distribution, and I/O modules in GE Mark V systems.
Industrial Compressor Control
Used for layout of critical control boards and signal routing within VME backplanes in compressor and turbocharger cabinets.
Turbine OEM System Builds
Included in new build racks to ensure compliant module segregation and power plane integrity.
Automation Retrofit Projects
Supported in refurbishment kits to maintain original backplane compatibility and diagnostic access.
