• Condition: New Original.

Product Introduction

The DS200SLCCG1ABA is a high-performance universal fieldbus link controller for GE’s Mark V DS200 series, used in Speedtronic turbine control systems. It supports all major industrial protocols—Profinet IO, EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP, DeviceNet, Profibus DP, and CANopen—in a single board.

The “ABA” suffix represents the ultimate fieldbus gateway in the Mark V family. Features: dual Ethernet ports (integrated switch) plus two configurable serial ports, 2048 bytes I/O each direction (4x SLCCG1A), 1 ms scan rate (5x faster), and simultaneous multi-protocol operation. Use it for the most demanding integration projects: connect a Mark V turbine to a Siemens Profinet plant network, a Rockwell EtherNet/IP DCS, and legacy DeviceNet devices—all at the same time.

Key Technical Specifications

Key Selling Points & Differentiators

• All major protocols in one board – Profinet, EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP, OPC UA, DeviceNet, Profibus DP, CANopen. One slot, one configuration. No need for multiple gateways.
• 2048 bytes I/O each direction – Four times the capacity of SLCCG1A. Handle large remote I/O racks, multiple VFDs, and data concentrators.
• 1 ms scan rate – 1 kHz update on Ethernet protocols. Suitable for high-speed interlocking and real-time control.
• 4 simultaneous protocol engines – Run Profinet IO, EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP, and DeviceNet simultaneously. Or any combination.
• Integrated Gigabit Ethernet switch – Daisy-chain multiple ABA boards or connect to plant network at 1 Gbps. Supports ring redundancy (MRP, RSTP).
• OPC UA server onboard – Provides secure data access to SCADA, MES, or cloud systems without additional hardware. 10 simultaneous sessions.
• USB configuration port – Local configuration without network connection. Secure fallback access.
• Industrial security features – HTTPS, SSH, disable unused protocols, IP whitelist, user accounts. Meets IEC 62443-4-2 requirements.
• Conformal coated – For harsh environment operation.
• QC includes 72-hour multi-protocol stress test – All protocols active simultaneously at maximum I/O load, 1 ms scan, zero errors.
• 5-year warranty

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What is the difference between SLCCG1A (enhanced) and SLCCG1ABA (universal high performance)?

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

Q: Can I use all four protocols simultaneously?
A: Yes—up to 4 simultaneous protocol engines. Example configuration:

• Port 1 (Ethernet): Profinet IO to Siemens PLC (1 ms)
• Port 2 (Ethernet): EtherNet/IP to Rockwell DCS (2 ms)
• Port 3 (serial): DeviceNet to legacy I/O (5 ms)
• Port 4 (serial): Modbus RTU to flowmeters (10 ms)
  Total I/O data up to 2048 bytes each direction, shared across all protocols.

Q: What is OPC UA and how do I use it?
A: OPC UA (Open Platform Communications Unified Architecture) is a secure, platform-independent data exchange standard. The ABA includes an embedded OPC UA server. Connect SCADA, MES, or cloud applications directly to the Mark V via OPC UA. No additional gateway hardware. Supports up to 10 simultaneous client sessions.

Q: How do I configure the board securely?
A: Web browser over HTTPS (default port 443). Default credentials: admin/changeme (change at first login). Features: disable HTTP (force HTTPS), disable unused protocols (e.g., telnet, FTP), IP whitelist (restrict access to specific IP addresses), user accounts (read-only, operator, admin). Meets IEC 62443-4-2 for industrial cybersecurity.

Q: What is the scan rate for simultaneous protocols?
A: The ABA uses a real-time operating system with deterministic scheduling. Typical performance:

• 1 protocol active: 1 ms
• 2 protocols active: 2 ms each
• 3 protocols active: 3 ms each
• 4 protocols active: 4 ms each
  I/O data sizes affect scan time. Use our configuration tool to estimate your specific mix.

Q: Does the ABA support Ethernet ring redundancy?
A: Yes—Media Redundancy Protocol (MRP) client and RSTP (Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol). Connect two ABA boards in a ring with managed switches. Ring recovery time <50 ms.

Q: What QC tests are specific to the ABA revision?
A: Twelve tests:

1. Profinet IO conformance: 2048 bytes, 1 ms, 72 hours, zero errors
2. EtherNet/IP conformance: 2048 bytes, 2 ms RPI, 72 hours
3. Modbus TCP: 8 simultaneous clients, 2 ms scan, 24 hours
4. OPC UA server: 10 simultaneous clients, 1 hour each
5. DeviceNet: 500 kbps, 256 bytes, 72 hours
6. Profibus DP: 12 Mbps, 244 bytes, 72 hours
7. CANopen: 1 Mbps, 64 bytes per PDO, 72 hours
8. Simultaneous 4-protocol test: Profinet + EtherNet/IP + DeviceNet + Modbus RTU, 24 hours
9. Ring redundancy: MRP ring break, recovery <50 ms, zero data loss
10. Security: penetration test (port scan, brute force attempt, invalid certificates)
11. Temperature: −40°C to +75°C, all protocols active
12. Burn-in: 168 hours at +65°C, continuous mixed protocol traffic

Q: What shipping protection for this high-performance board?
A: Maximum protection. Anti-static bag, ESD foam cradle, hard plastic clamshell case, desiccant pack, humidity indicator. Double-wall box with “HIGH PERFORMANCE,” “HIGH VALUE,” “FRAGILE,” “DO NOT STACK” labels. Shock, tilt, temperature indicators. Calibration certificate and test report (20 pages) laminated. USB programming cable, Ethernet crossover cable, and termination resistor kit in separate bag. Gold-plated serial terminal blocks included. Each board ships individually. Do not unpack without 4-hour temperature stabilization.
