Current technical records identify DS200SLCCG3AGH as a GE Mark V SLCC LAN Communication Board, with revision codes A / G / H, FPGAs, EEPROMs, dual-port RAM, and both isolated and non-isolated communication circuitry.

Product Introduction

Communication faults on a Mark V cabinet can masquerade as controller failures when the actual problem sits on the SLCC board. The DS200SLCCG3AGH provides LAN communication and interface functions within GE Mark V Speedtronic systems and is also used across compatible GE drive and exciter assemblies. Its LAN Control Processor, dual-port RAM, EEPROM program storage, and communication circuitry make it a processing/interface board rather than a passive termination card.

For asset control, retain the complete DS200SLCCG3AGH identity. The available records decode the board as functional revision A, functional revision G, and artwork revision H; similar SLCC boards exist with materially different revision combinations. The board also interfaces with a keypad and alpha-numeric display for configuration and diagnostics (which makes the physical keypad arrangement worth checking before issuing a replacement PO).

Core Technical Specifications

The LCP program-memory arrangement and dual-port RAM are documented for the SLCC family, while is specifically identified as the A/G/H revision combination.

🚨 Global Compliance & Industry Certifications

For , certification statements should be tied to the complete Mark V equipment assembly and applicable GE documentation.

• CE Mark: Do not claim independent CE marking for the bare SLCC board without a GE declaration covering the exact assembly and applicable revision.
• UL/cUL: No reliable evidence was established that is independently UL/cUL Listed as a stand-alone PCB.
• ATEX / IECEx: No independent hazardous-area certification was established for this specific board.
• Marine Approvals: No DNV, ABS, or LRS certification was established for the individual from the records reviewed.
• EMC: The board uses both isolated and non-isolated communication circuits, so EMC performance should be evaluated as part of the installed cabinet/system rather than inferred from the PCB alone.
• Export Classification: Maintain exact part number, revision, COO evidence, commercial invoice, and packing records for international transactions.

Why this matters: An SLCC board sits directly on the communication path between Mark V control hardware and connected drive/control equipment. An undocumented board revision can create both a functional risk and a traceability problem during maintenance or audit.

Verify specific lot certifications with OEM.

🚨 Long-Term Storage & Asset Preservation Guide

Keep the inside an ESD shielding bag. The board contains EPROM devices, RAM, FPGA devices, connectors, and exposed PCB surfaces; uncontrolled handling can damage components or contaminate contacts. Store it in rigid packaging so the connector edge is not carrying the weight of the board.

Preserve the EPROM configuration. Do not remove, reseat, or replace the two LCP EPROM devices during routine warehouse inspection. They contain the LCP program data, so an apparently minor handling action can create a processor or boot problem that did not exist when the board entered inventory.

Control humidity and temperature cycling. Keep long-term storage below 60% RH where practical, with no condensation. Before energized testing after cold transport, allow the sealed package to reach room temperature; then inspect EPROM sockets, connector contacts, jumper hardware, and solder joints.

Record the complete A/G/H revision combination and photograph the board before putting it into long-term stock. Similar SLCC variants exist, and revision drift is an avoidable inventory error.

Physical Installation Prerequisites

• Host Cabinet: Install only in the approved GE Mark V Speedtronic or compatible GE drive/exciter architecture.
• Power State: Treat the board as a controlled power-off replacement unless the exact GE maintenance procedure for the installed equipment explicitly permits live intervention.
• Connector Access: Preserve enough workspace for ribbon/connectivity harness removal and inspection.
• EPROM Handling: Do not touch, remove, or interchange the two LCP EPROM devices unless specifically instructed by the approved service procedure.
• Keypad/Display: Confirm the alpha-numeric display and keypad arrangement match the installed control system before replacement.
• Grounding: Preserve the Mark V cabinet grounding and shield-reference arrangement.
• Clearance: Keep cable bundles away from the board surface and ventilation paths. Follow the actual Mark V cabinet drawing rather than applying an arbitrary clearance value.
• ESD: Use a grounded wrist strap and ESD-safe bench.
• Connector Condition: Inspect every mating connector for bent pins, oxidation, or contamination before insertion.
• Thermal Environment: Preserve the cabinet’s designed airflow; do not obstruct cooling paths with temporary service wiring.

Buyer’s FAQ

Q1. What HS Tariff Code should be used for ?
Do not assign a definitive HS code solely from the phrase “LAN communication board.” This is a dedicated industrial control-system PCB, and classification can vary by jurisdiction and by whether customs treats the item as a data/communication apparatus, control-system part, or other electrical assembly. Have the broker validate the final code from the technical description, function, invoice wording, and destination tariff schedule.

Q2. What Country of Origin documentation should accompany the shipment?
Use the actual manufacturing origin supported by supplier or manufacturer evidence. Shipping from a particular country does not establish COO. Maintain the invoice, packing list, COO statement or certificate when applicable, exact-part-number photograph, and serial/lot or revision records together.

Q3. Can this SLCC board be hot-swapped?
Do not assume it can. The board contains active processor, memory, communication, and display circuitry, with multiple external connections. Unless the applicable GE procedure specifically authorizes live removal for the installed architecture, use a controlled shutdown and isolation process.

Q4. Does a New Original include the latest firmware pre-loaded?
The key issue is not a modern flash-firmware package. The SLCC family stores the LCP software in two replaceable EPROM devices, so the exact EPROM content and hardware revision are important. For procurement, require disclosure of the board’s A/G/H revision and any available software or EPROM identification rather than assuming that every contains the latest application image.

Q5. What warranty and shipping protection should apply?
The quotation should identify the exact revision, physical condition, serial or lot data where available, warranty period, and return process. During freight, protect the board with ESD shielding, rigid cushioning, connector protection, and moisture control; for a high-value Mark V spare, insure the shipment against its documented replacement value.
