Product Description
The DS200AAHAG2A is a MARK V LM Speedtronic ARCNET HUB LAN Drive Board. This board was originally created by GE but is now a legacy series module that no longer receives any support from GE. Despite this, AX Control does try to keep this board in stock when available surplus presents itself on the market.
The DS200AAHAG2A is also known as an ARCNET Connection Board (AAHA). It was made to be a part of the control panel in a Mark V system. The AAHA board has the ability to connect external devices to the Control Engine which is a part of the <R> Core. It uses the ARCNET connections to accomplish this. The <R> core actually uses two of these boards for slightly different purposes. One AAHA board is used for facilitating a Stage Link between different operator interfaces and the <R> core. The other AAHA board is used to grant the <R> core communication to the COREBUS network. Making this connection will encourage communication between the Control Engine and the I/O cores within the <R> core. This board also connects to the PANA board using the APL connector.
The features of the DS200AAHAG2A (AAHA) are as follows:
- Two connection ports.
- The two other ports on the right side labeled P1 and P2 are ARCBNC-B and ARCBNC-A ports.
- Below the P1 connector is a 2PL connection. On the bottom right corner of the board is an APL 10-pin connector that is used to provide a communications link between the AAHA board and the boards that contain the ARCNET driver within the <R> core.
