GE DS215SDCCG1AZZ01B

Product Overview

The DS215SDCCG1AZZ01B is a Drive Control Card (SDCC) manufactured by GE Motors & Industrial Systems for its DIRECTO-MATIC 2000 series of industrial drives. GE DS215SDCCG1AZZ01B serves as the central intelligence and primary control unit for AC2000, DC2000, and EX2000 drive systems. The "G1" in its part number identifies it as the full-featured version within the SDCC family, designed for complex drive applications requiring high-performance regulation and extensive I/O capabilities.

Functioning as the system's brain, the SDCC integrates three specialized microprocessors to manage all aspects of drive operation, from high-level user interfaces and speed loops to low-level motor control algorithms. DS215SDCCG1AZZ01B is a critical component for converting control commands into precise power output for motors, ensuring efficient and reliable operation in demanding industrial environments.

Product Function 

Triple-Processor Architecture: The division of labor among the DCP, MCP, and CMP allows for highly responsive and computationally intensive control, enabling advanced features like precise motion control and complex motor control algorithms.

Comprehensive I/O Handling: GE DS215SDCCG1AZZ01B Board interfaces with a wide array of signals, including:

Digital I/O for commands (RUN, JOG) and status.

Analog I/O for speed reference, feedback (tachometers), and meter outputs.

Encoder feedback for precise position and speed control.

Motor current and voltage feedback for closed-loop regulation.

Serial communication (RS-232, RS-422) for programming and networking.

Integrated LAN Connectivity: GE DS215SDCCG1AZZ01B Via the 3PL connector to an SLCC card, it enables system integration and networking within a factory automation environment.

Advanced Feedback Processing: GE DS215SDCCG1AZZ01B Supports multiple feedback devices, including analog tachometers, and both single-ended and differential encoders (with marker channels on G1). The feedback VCO circuitry can be configured for different sensor types.

Flexible Configuration: DS215SDCCG1AZZ01B Control logic and functionality can be extensively customized via hardware jumpers and software parameters using dedicated configuration tools (ST2000, GE Control System Toolbox, LynxOS Drive Configurator).

Robust Protection and Diagnostics: DS215SDCCG1AZZ01B Features hardware watchdog timers, reset circuits, and detailed fault indication via LEDs for rapid troubleshooting.
