The GE General Electric DS200PANAH1A / DS200PANAH1ACC is an ARCNET LAN Driver Board associated with the GE Mark V Speedtronic turbine control system. The PANA board provides ARCNET communication for COREBUS and Stage Link and interfaces with AAHA boards through the APL and BPL connections, while P1 and P2 provide bus connections toward the LBC586P control-engine processor board. The supplied listing identifies the board as DS200PANAH1A, with the full board number DS200PANAH1ACC.

Product Datasheet

Main Functions

• Provides ARCNET communication within compatible GE Mark V control architectures.
• Supports communication associated with COREBUS and Stage Link functions.
• Uses APL and BPL connections to communicate with associated AAHA boards.
• Transfers data toward the control-engine processor through the P1 and P2 bus connections.
• Includes hardware switches used for ARCNET address configuration and jumpers associated with communication parameters.
• Suitable for maintenance replacement and spare-parts inventory where the complete GE part number and hardware configuration match.

Q&A

Q: What is the exact part number?
A: The listing identifies the board as DS200PANAH1A, with full part number DS200PANAH1ACC.

Q: What does PANA refer to?
A: PANA is the functional designation for the ARCNET LAN Driver Board used in the Mark V architecture.

Q: What communication does this board handle?
A: It provides ARCNET communication associated with COREBUS and Stage Link.

Q: What are APL and BPL used for?
A: APL and BPL are ARCNET communication links between the PANA board and associated AAHA boards.

Q: Can another DS200PANA revision be used as a direct replacement?
A: Not automatically. Verify the complete part number, revision, jumper configuration, switch settings, and system hardware before substitution.

Q: Is this a PLC CPU?
A: No. It is a dedicated communication/driver board within the GE Mark V control architecture.
