Product Description

The DS200AAHAG1AD is an ARCNET Connection Board made by General Electric as part of the Mark V LM SpeedtronicTurbine Control System. The Mark V LM manual GEH-6353B provides a clear summation of the DS200AAHAG1AD function in the control system. The board is referred to through by its abbreviation of AAHA. 

The DS200AAHAG1AD, or AAHA for short, was created to be a part of the control panel of a Speedtronic Mark V LM. This board has the ability to provide a connection and interfacing capabilities between a control engine that has I/O cores and external hardware. The control engine is typically held within the <R> core. This core typically needs to use two AAHA boards. One of the boards is used to facilitate a Stage Link between the user interface and the core. The second board has the ability to connect the core with the COREBUS. This link allows communication to happen between the I/O cores and the control engine.

The DS200AAHAG1AD does not need any type of hardware or software alterations to function once it is plugged in and mounted. The AAHA board is relatively small. It has an EBNC connection port that is normally not used. It has an ARCBNC-B labeled P1 and an ARCBNC-A port labeled P1. These ports are BNC ARCNET communication ports. There is an E2 and E1 LED indicator. There is an EPL 9-pin connection that is usually not used and an APL 10-pin connection port that serves as the ARCNET communications link.
