Description
GE DS200DCFBG1BNC
- Technical Specifications:
- Channels: 2 independent feedback channels (A and B)
- Input Types: AC tachometer (0–10,000 RPM), DC tachometer (0–5,000 RPM), 4-wire resolver (4.25 VAC excitation, 50 Hz–10 kHz), quadrature encoder (A/B/Z, up to 1 MHz)
- A/D Resolution: 16-bit for tachometer; 12-bit for resolver angle
- Speed Resolution: 16-bit counter, 0.015 RPM at 10,000 RPM
- Position Resolution: 12-bit counter, 0.088 degrees per count
- Isolation: 500 VDC optical isolation per channel
- Accuracy: ±0.01% of full scale (speed); ±1 count (position)
- Update Rate: 1 ms (speed); 10 ms (position)
- Firmware: Compatible with Mark VIe firmware version 7.0 and above (improved over BKC which requires version 5.0+)
- Functional Features (Enhancements over ):
- Improved EMC: Additional filtering on all input channels reduces susceptibility to electromagnetic interference by 40% compared to BKC revision
- Extended Temperature Range: Rated for -10°C to 70°C operating (vs. 0°C to 60°C for BKC)
- Faster Resolver Conversion: R/D conversion time reduced from 10 ms to 5 ms for improved dynamic response
- Diagnostic Enhancement: Additional fault codes for resolver excitation failure and encoder signal quality degradation
- Hot Firmware Update: Supports firmware update while the module remains in service (redundant systems only)
- Application Scenarios: Same as DS200DCFBG1BKC, with particular suitability for newer Mark VIe installations and environments with higher EMI (e.g., near large VFDs or welding equipment)
- Performance Parameters:
- Operating Temperature: -10°C to 70°C
- Power Consumption: 3.5 W (slightly higher than due to enhanced filtering)
- MTBF: Greater than 220,000 hours
- Weight: Approximately 410 grams (slightly heavier due to additional filtering components)
- Material & Structure:
- Form Factor: Same 180 mm × 120 mm × 15 mm as BKC
- Connectors: 2 × 15-pin D-sub (field); 64-pin backplane
- PCB: 8-layer with enhanced EMI shielding cans over resolver and encoder processing sections
- Components: Updated ASICs with improved temperature stability; lead-free solder process
- Working Principle: Identical to DS200DCFBG1BKC with the following enhancements: the resolver R/D converter uses a newer tracking loop algorithm that converges 50% faster; the encoder decoder includes a signal quality monitor that detects jitter and glitches on the A/B lines; the tachometer counter uses a wider 40-bit accumulator for improved low-speed resolution.
- Installation Requirements: Identical to DS200DCFBG1BKC with one additional note: when installing in a Mark VIe system running firmware version 7.0 or higher, the module must be configured using the latest version of the Mark VIe Configuration Editor to access the new diagnostic features.
- Usage Notes:
- Firmware Matching: Ensure the module firmware version matches or exceeds the Mark VIe controller firmware version; mismatched firmware can cause intermittent communication errors
- Replacement Compatibility: The BNC revision is pin-compatible with BKC and can be used as a direct drop-in replacement in existing systems
- Calibration: Resolver and encoder channels require initial calibration after installation using the Mark VIe Tuning utility; tachometer channels are self-calibrating
