Description
GE DS200SDCCG1AGD Drive Control Board – Core control for GE DC/AC drive platforms
The GE DS200SDCCG1AGD is a Drive Control Board used as the central control card in many GE industrial drive systems—typically DC2000, AC2000 and related GE platforms. From my experience, this board is the “brain” that coordinates speed regulation, current loops, protection logic, and interface signals across the drive. If you’re maintaining legacy GE drives in production, this model tends to be a direct, drop-in replacement that keeps downtime short and re-commissioning straightforward.
Company’s Order Placement Process and Guarantees
- Warranty: 365 days
- Delivery: 1 week if in stock; no more than one month at the latest
- Payment: 50% advance payment; full payment before delivery
- Express options: FedEx, UPS, DHL
Key Features
- Centralized drive control – Orchestrates speed, torque/current loops, and protective interlocks for consistent drive behavior.
- Backplane-powered design – Draws regulated power from the host drive, so no separate PSU is needed at the panel level.
- Mixed-signal I/O – Supports analog command/feedback and discrete I/O; you might notice quicker tuning stability in many cases.
- Parameter and firmware compatibility – Typically recognizes existing parameter sets and firmware packs on like-for-like replacements, reducing setup time.
- Diagnostic LEDs and test points – Speeds troubleshooting during commissioning and maintenance.
- Fits common GE drive families – Commonly applied in GE DC2000/AC2000 series, which seems to be why it’s widely stocked for plant spares.
Technical Specifications
| Brand / Model | GE – DS200SDCCG1AGD (Drive Control Board) |
| HS Code | 853890 (Parts for electrical control/switchgear) |
| Power Requirements | Supplied via drive backplane; typical logic +5 VDC and analog ±15 VDC rails; approx. <10 W consumption (application-dependent) |
| Dimensions & Weight | Approx. 280 × 190 mm (11.0 × 7.5 in); ~0.8 kg |
| Operating Temperature | 0 to +60 °C, 5–95% RH non‑condensing (typical for enclosure-mounted control boards) |
| Signal Input/Output Types | Analog command/feedback (e.g., ±10 V), current/voltage sense, tach/encoder feedback via associated terminal boards, discrete digital I/O (isolation as per drive configuration) |
| Communication Interfaces | Proprietary backplane bus; supports optional communication daughterboards depending on the drive (e.g., plant network/fieldbus options available on the host platform) |
| Installation Method | Plug-in board for the drive’s control rack with ribbon/cabled harnesses; secured with standoffs and retaining hardware; configurable via jumpers/EEPROMs as per drive manual |
Application Fields
Plants running GE DC/AC drives in continuous or batch processes typically use the DS200SDCCG1AGD for motion and speed regulation. Common placements include:
- Metals and rolling mills – main stands, coilers, and levelers where tight speed/torque control matters.
- Pulp & paper – unwind/rewind sections and line drives needing coordinated control.
- Mining & minerals – conveyors, crushers, and hoists where robust fault handling is vital.
- Oil & gas and petrochem – pumps, compressors and utility drives in hazardous-area compliant panels.
- Water & wastewater – blower and pump drives with analog process feedback.
One maintenance lead told us they swapped this card into a DC2000 line drive and were back in production in under 30 minutes—no rewire, minor parameter check, and the loop tuning was already close.
Advantages & Value
- Reliability – Proven PCB layout and GE component selection; fewer nuisance trips when the rest of the drive is healthy.
- Compatibility – Designed for GE drive families, so harnesses, terminal boards, and firmware typically align without panel modifications.
- Cost savings – Extends the life of installed GE platforms and avoids a full drive retrofit, which is often a major shutdown.
- Technical support – Parameter maps and tuning procedures are well-documented for plant technicians and integrators.
Installation & Maintenance
- Panel/cabinet – Install in the original GE drive rack within a clean, ventilated NEMA/IEC-rated enclosure. Maintain clearance for airflow.
- Wiring – Use original ribbon and harness connections; verify connector orientation and pinouts. Keep analog signals separated from high-voltage cabling.
- ESD safety – Handle with ESD protection; avoid flexing the board when fitting standoffs.
- Parameter/firmware – Match firmware packs and jumpers to the host drive. Back up parameters before changeout; restore and verify setpoints after power-up.
- Routine care – Inspect connectors quarterly; clean dust with dry air; check for heat discoloration. Firmware update only when specified by GE or when solving a known issue.
- Commissioning – Perform current-loop and speed-loop checks; confirm fault chain and interlocks. Log baseline performance for future comparison.
Quality & Certifications
- Manufacturer – GE Industrial Systems
- Platform compliance – When installed in certified GE drive systems, the overall assembly is typically CE/UL compliant.
- Quality system – Produced under ISO 9001 quality management (typical for GE manufacturing)
- RoHS – Legacy GE boards may not be RoHS by design; confirm by date code if this is a requirement.
- Warranty – 365-day coverage as stated above
If you’re replacing a failed SDCC or planning a preventive spare, the DS200SDCCG1AGD is a practical choice—especially when you want to keep an existing GE drive platform running without redesigning the cabinet. You might notice that most commissioning time is simply parameter verification and loop checks, not wiring changes.
