Product Introduction

The DS200STBAG1A is an enhanced status annunciator board for GE’s Mark V DS200 series, used in Speedtronic turbine control systems. It provides 32 programmable RGB LED indicators with custom color and text labeling for turbine operating status.

The “A” revision upgrades the standard STBAG1 with RGB LEDs (red/green/blue, 16 million colors), programmable via software. The front panel includes a USB port for configuration and a 2-line OLED display for setup. The board also has 16 configurable I/O points (each can be input or output, 24 VDC) and 8 relay outputs. Use it for custom annunciator panels, multilingual displays, or applications requiring color-coded alarms beyond standard red/yellow/green.

Key Technical Specifications

Key Selling Points & Differentiators

• 32 RGB LEDs – any color – Program red, green, yellow, blue, cyan, magenta, white, or custom colors. Color-code alarms by severity or system.
• Programmable text labels – No more fixed labels. Type custom messages via software. Update labels without replacing hardware.
• 16 configurable I/O points – Each point can be input (24 VDC) or output (24 VDC, 100 mA). Flexible for local pushbuttons or indicator lights.
• Front panel OLED display – Shows board status, IP address, and configuration menu. No PC required for basic setup.
• USB configuration port – Connect PC directly to front panel. Upload labels, colors, and I/O configuration. No backplane programming needed.
• Blinking modes – Steady, slow blink (1 Hz), fast blink (4 Hz). Attract attention for critical alarms.
• Backplane or standalone mode – Operate with Mark V CPU, or as standalone annunciator with discrete I/O.
• QC includes 72-hour burn-in – All 32 RGB LEDs tested at full intensity.
• 2-year warranty

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What is the difference between STBAG1 (standard) and STBAG1A (enhanced)?

Q: Can I use the STBAG1A without a Mark V CPU?
A: Yes—standalone mode. The board monitors its 16 discrete inputs (configurable as inputs) and lights LEDs based on input states. No backplane communication required. Use for local machine status panels.

Q: How do I program the LED colors and labels?
A: Connect PC to USB port on front panel. Run included Windows software. Select LED number, choose color from palette or enter RGB values (0–255). Type label text (max 8 characters). Upload configuration to board. Takes 2 minutes.

Q: Can I change LED colors on the fly (while turbine is running)?
A: Yes—via backplane communication. The CPU can write to board registers to change colors dynamically. Example: green for normal, yellow for warning, red for alarm, flashing red for trip.

Q: What are the configurable I/O points?
A: 16 terminal points. Software selects each point as input (24 VDC, 5 mA) or output (24 VDC, 100 mA). Outputs can drive small LED indicators directly (no external relay needed).

Q: What QC tests are specific to the STBAG1A?
A: Nine tests:

1. RGB color accuracy: all 32 LEDs tested at red, green, blue, white
2. LED intensity: 0–100% linearity
3. USB programming: upload/download of 32 labels and colors
4. OLED display: characters readable
5. Configurable I/O: input mode threshold, output mode current
6. Relay outputs: 1000 cycles at 1 A
7. Standalone mode: LED response to inputs
8. Temperature: −40°C to +70°C
9. Burn-in: 72 hours at +65°C

Q: What shipping protection?
A: Anti-static bag, ESD foam cradle, double-wall box. Each board ships individually. Configuration software on USB drive. Programming cable included. Front panel label kit included. Color palette guide included.
