Application Fields
The DS200TBQBG1A serves as the physical interface for various GE Mark V drive applications:
- Gas Turbine Control: Relaying input/output signals between field devices and the SDCC processor.
- Excitation Systems: Managing signal termination for generator excitation control logic.
- Industrial Drive Systems: Used in heavy-duty motor drives to organize wiring and reduce electromagnetic interference.
- Power Generation: Integrated into Mark V “R”, “S”, and “T” cores for signal distribution.

Product Instructions
- Safety Isolation: Ensure all power sources to the Mark V rack are locked out before removing the terminal board.
- Cable Labeling: Clearly mark all ribbon cables and field wires before disconnection to ensure correct re-attachment.
- Mounting: Secure the board using all provided screw holes to maintain proper grounding through the cabinet frame.
- Wiring: Use the screw terminals for field wiring; ensure no frayed wires are present to prevent short circuits.
- Inspection: Check the BERG connectors for bent pins or debris before plugging in the ribbon cables from the SDCC board.
Q&A
Q1: What is the relationship between this board and the SDCC board? A1: The TBQB (DS200TBQBG1A) acts as the physical connection point for field wiring, which then passes signals via ribbon cables to the SDCC (Drive Control Board) for processing.
Q2: Does the “CB” revision matter for my installation? A2: Revision “CB” is a specific hardware update. While GE Mark V boards are often backward compatible, you should verify the jumper settings and cable orientation to match your original “A” or “B” revision.
Q3: Can I repair individual terminals on this board? A3: While screw terminals can sometimes be replaced, damage to the PCB traces usually requires a full board replacement to maintain system reliability in turbine control.
