Product Description

The DS200AAHAH1AED is a GE created ARCNET LAN Driver Board. This board was produced to be a component of the GE Mark V LM series of Speedtronic hardware. This board is no longer being supported by GE and may be a little hard to locate. Please consult AX Control for the availability of the DS200AAHAH1AED because we do attempt to keep it in stock.

The DS200AAHAH1AED is a PCB that was meant to function within the MARK V’s control panel. It is also identified as an ARCNET Connection Board (AAHA). Like its name would suggest, this board is designed to act as a connection that links the main Control Engine and external drives to the ARCNET. The control engine actually resides within the <R> core. Two AAHA boards are actually needed within the <R> core. One of the boards needed by the core is a board that connects the COREBUS to the <R> core. In doing so, the control engine is allowed to communicate to the I/O cores that are also held within the <R> core.  This board also can connect to the PANA board. The second board grants a Stage Link connection to the user interface and the <R> core.

The DS200AAHAH1AED is a very small and simple board. It has three communications ports on the top side. The leftmost port isn’t actually used and is an EBNC port. Beside of it are the ARCBNC-A and ARCBNC-B ports. On the bottom right-hand corner of the top flat side is a 2PL connection port. In the center is an APL 10-Pin Connection port and on the bottom left-hand corner is an EPL connection that is also not used.
