Product Introduction
GE DS200SLCCG1AFG is a LAN/serial communication board for the GE Speedtronic Mark V control system family. It is designed for GE Series 2000 drive and exciter applications, providing multi-protocol serial ports and drive LAN interface capability within the Mark V architecture.
The board mounts to the SDCC drive control board using a standoff bracket and connects to the host control card through ribbon/header links. It provides isolated and non-isolated communication circuits for the host drive, with signals processed through an integrated LAN Control Processor (LCP).
The board features a 16-character alphanumeric display protected by four standoff posts (ST1–ST4), which are not jumpers. An optional 16-key alphanumeric programmer/keyboard can be connected via the KPPL connector for system settings and diagnostics.
Communication interfaces typically include RS-232 (COM1) and RS-485 (COM2) serial ports for PLC/HMI/SCADA integration, along with drive LAN connectivity depending on revision and firmware. LCP program memory is stored in two onboard EPROM modules (U6/U7), and communication with the SDCC is executed through onboard dual-port RAM.
Jumper settings can modify RS-422 DLAN driver configuration or isolate DLAN circuits; J19 connects the crystal to the processor.

Note: The SLCC LAN/serial communication function, 16-character display, LCP processor, dual EPROM slots, RS-232/RS-485 ports, and KPPL connector are documented for the DS200SLCCG1AFG. The exact connector layout, jumper map, LED indicators, EPROM content, and FFG-specific configuration should be verified from the physical board label and GE Mark V manuals.
Quality Control Process (DYNAMIC GENERATION)
- Visual and label inspection. We check the part number, suffix, PCB surface, connectors, EPROM slots, LCP chip, display, and standoff posts for damage or corrosion.
- SLCC function verification. We confirm the board matches the DS200SLCCG1AFG LAN/serial communication board description and is not mislabeled as a different Mark V board type.
- Display and KPPL check. The 16-character alphanumeric display and KPPL connector are inspected for physical damage and correct seating.
- EPROM and memory inspection. Both EPROM slots (U6/U7) and dual-port RAM area (U5) are checked for visible damage; replacement boards typically ship with empty EPROM slots.
- Connector and continuity check. All board connectors and ribbon header interfaces are verified for correct pin continuity and no short circuits.
- Final packaging. After passing inspection, the board is anti-static bagged and foam-packed for shipment.
Replacement Pitfall Guide (DYNAMIC GENERATION)
❗ Confirm SLCC function before installation. DS200SLCCG1AFG is a LAN/serial communication board; do not substitute it with TCQA, SDCC, SDCI, SHVM, or other Mark V I/O boards.
❗ Transfer EPROM modules from the original board. The LCP program memory resides in two EPROM slots (U6/U7); replacement boards typically ship with empty EPROM slots.
❗ Match jumper settings before installation. Jumper configurations affect RS-422 DLAN driver settings and DLAN circuit isolation; J19 connects the crystal to the processor.
❗ Label all connectors before removal. Miswiring ribbon headers, KPPL, or serial connections can cause communication failures or drive faults.
❗ Do not confuse display standoff posts with jumpers. The four posts (ST1–ST4) protect the 16-character display glass; they are not jumpers.
❗ Verify SDCC compatibility. Confirm the board is mounted to the correct SDCC drive control board and that ribbon header connections match the original configuration.
❗ Handle as ESD-sensitive equipment. Always use anti-static wrist straps and handling procedures during removal, installation, and storage.
Keep these in mind and you’ll cut 90% of rework time.
Compatibility Matrix & Benchmarks
| Original Model | Replacement / Successor Model | Compatibility Level | Migration Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| GE | GE | Direct | Same part number; verify EPROM content, jumper settings, and display function. |
| GE | GE DS200SLCCG1A variants | Needs Adaptation | Same SLCC family; suffix differences may affect display, serial ports, or jumper configuration. |
| GE | GE DS215SLCCG1A variants | Needs Adaptation | DS215-level boards may include pre-loaded EPROMs; verify compatibility and mounting. |
| GE | GE DS200SLCCG1ACC | Needs Adaptation | Same SLCC family but different suffix; ACC is a G1 DLAN/ARCNET variant without the 16-character display. |
| GE | Mark VIe / IS200/IS220 modules | Not Compatible | Different platform and architecture; not a direct replacement. |
