Product Description

The GE Digital Signal Processor Control Board DS200DSPCH1 provides processing capacity and communications bandwidth for direct control of high performance drives and other power converter applications. The GE Digital Signal Processor Control Board DS200DSPCH1 features expandable local I/O for direct interface to control signals. There are several way to reset the processor on the DS200DSPCH1. You can use the VME sysreset command, you can command the VME master bus to write to the VME control register, use the power-up rest function, or use the reset button on the board.

The GE Digital Signal Processor Control Board DS200DSPCH1 features two VME bus interface connectors that are compatible with the programmable logic controllers. Flash memory is available on a removable SIMM card, and EEPROM is can be added to the board on a connector on the board.

The board also provides for serial communications which can be used for communication between multiple signal processor control board. Before you can use the serial ports for communications, you must use the configuration utility to enable the ports on all boards and configure the parameters on each board to enable communications.  

The board also has four connectors into which you can connect daughter cards for added processing flexibility and functionality. Each position for the daughter cards contain two connectors. One is a 60-pin connector and one is a 40-pin connector. They provide for high-speed signal connections and power connections. The four positions are are interchangeable. But after  card is assigned to a project, the card must remain the same card position.
