Material & Construction:​ 4-layer FR-4 PCB with independent analog/digital ground planes, metalized hole shielding, third-order RC low-pass filters, and TVS surge suppression components.
Working Principle:​ The board buffers, filters, and converts analog and digital I/O signals between field devices and the DSPC processor bus via onboard CPLD and SRAM, providing high-speed, stable communication bridging.
Application Scenarios:​ Gas turbine fuel supply control, steam turbine control, generator set precision drive management, and other Mark V Speedtronic control applications requiring micro-volt level small signal acquisition.
Installation Requirements:
  • Daughter card clip-on mounting onto DS200DSPC (DPSC) processor motherboard via 96-pin Euro card edge connector
  • Perform “Auto-Calibrate” automatic calibration within ToolKit
  • Every two years, test isolation resistance with 500 V DC megger — should be ≥ 100 MΩ
Usage Notes:
  • After replacing the board, re-import EEPROM parameters in the DSPC configuration page and confirm version number consistency before commissioning
  • Annually calibrate to maintain < 0.2% drift performance
