Product Introduction

The DS200SLCCG1A is an enhanced serial link controller for GE’s Mark V DS200 series, used in Speedtronic turbine control systems. It adds Ethernet-based protocols (Profinet IO, EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP) to the existing fieldbus support of the SLCCG1.

The “A” revision upgrades the base SLCCG1 with faster processor, larger I/O data capacity (1024 bytes each direction vs 512), web-based configuration (no software installation required), and support for Profinet IO and EtherNet/IP. Two independent ports can be configured for different protocols (mix serial and Ethernet). Use it to integrate a Mark V turbine into modern industrial Ethernet networks or to connect to both legacy serial fieldbus and new Ethernet devices simultaneously.

Key Technical Specifications

Key Selling Points & Differentiators

• Ethernet protocols added – Profinet IO, EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP. Connect Mark V directly to Siemens PLCs (Profinet), Rockwell PLCs (EtherNet/IP), or SCADA systems (Modbus TCP).
• Integrated 2-port Ethernet switch – Daisy-chain multiple SLCCG1A boards or connect to other Ethernet devices without an external switch.
• Web-based configuration – No software installation. Configure via any web browser (HTTP). Set protocol, baud rate, I/O mapping. Download configuration file for backup.
• Larger I/O capacity (1024 bytes each direction) – Double the data of SLCCG1. Supports larger remote I/O racks and more data points.
• Faster scan rate (5 ms on Ethernet) – 5 ms typical on Profinet and EtherNet/IP (vs 10 ms on serial).
• Dual-port flexibility – Port 1: Profinet to Siemens PLC. Port 2: Modbus RTU to legacy flowmeters. Or both Ethernet. Or one serial, one Ethernet.
• Extended temperature range (−40°C to +70°C) – Operates in unheated enclosures and outdoor cabinets.
• QC includes protocol conformance testing – Profinet certified (tested with Siemens S7-1500), EtherNet/IP tested with Rockwell ControlLogix, Modbus TCP tested with multiple clients.
• 2-year warranty

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What is the difference between SLCCG1 (base) and SLCCG1A (enhanced)?

Q: Can the SLCCG1A act as a Profinet IO controller (master)?
A: No—device (slave) only. The SLCCG1A appears as a Profinet IO device to a Siemens PLC (controller). It cannot act as a master to other devices. For master functionality, use external PLC.

Q: Can I use both Ethernet ports simultaneously for different protocols?
A: No—the two Ethernet ports are a switch. Both ports share the same IP address and protocol configuration. For different protocols, use one Ethernet port and one serial port, or use two SLCCG1A boards.

Q: How do I configure the board?
A: Connect PC to Ethernet port. Open web browser, navigate to board’s IP address (default 192.168.0.101). Web pages allow protocol selection, I/O mapping, and network settings. No software installation required. Configuration can be saved to file for backup or cloning.

Q: What is the maximum cable length for Profinet?
A: 100 m (328 ft) between devices using Cat5e or Cat6 Ethernet cable. For longer distances, use fiber optic media converters (we sell ACC-PN-FIBER).

Q: Does the SLCCG1A support EtherNet/IP implicit (cyclic) messaging?
A: Yes—up to 1024 bytes each direction. Supports both unicast (point-to-point) and multicast (produced/consumed tags). Tested with Rockwell ControlLogix and CompactLogix.

Q: What QC tests are specific to the SLCCG1A?
A: Ten tests:

1. Profinet IO conformance: tested with Siemens S7-1500, 1024 bytes I/O, 5 ms cycle, 24 hours
2. EtherNet/IP conformance: tested with Rockwell ControlLogix, 1024 bytes I/O, 10 ms RPI
3. Modbus TCP: tested with 8 simultaneous clients, 1 hour each
4. Serial protocol tests: DeviceNet, Profibus DP, Modbus RTU (as per SLCCG1)
5. Ethernet switch test: daisy-chain 3 boards, 100 Mbps, 24 hours, zero packet loss
6. Web configuration: browser compatibility (Chrome, Edge, Firefox)
7. Isolation: 1800 VAC Ethernet to backplane; serial ports to backplane
8. Temperature: −40°C to +70°C operation
9. LED test: all status LEDs
10. Burn-in: 72 hours at +65°C, continuous Profinet and DeviceNet traffic

Q: What shipping protection?
A: Anti-static bag, ESD foam cradle, double-wall box with “ESD SENSITIVE,” “FRAGILE” labels. Ethernet crossover cable included. RS-232 programming cable (fallback) included. Configuration guide (web-based) printed reference card. Termination resistors included. Each board ships individually.
