Applications: GE Frame 6B, Frame 7EA/FA, Frame 9E/FA, LM2500, LM6000 gas turbines
Frequently Asked Questions - Speedtronic Mark V
What is the difference between Mark V and Mark V LM?
The Mark V LM is specifically configured for LM aeroderivative gas turbines (LM2500, LM6000) while the standard Mark V is used on heavy-duty frame turbines. Both use DS200 series boards but with different software configurations.
Which DS200 boards are most critical?
Critical boards include DS200TCQAG (processor), DS200SDCCG (communication), DS200TCRAG (relay output), and DS200AAHAH (analog input). We recommend keeping spares of these boards on hand.
Are DS200 boards interchangeable between Mark V variants?
Many DS200 boards are hardware-compatible across Mark V variants, but firmware versions may differ. Our team can verify compatibility for your specific application.
What is the typical lifespan of a DS200 board?
DS200 boards can operate for 20+ years, but capacitor aging and component degradation can cause failures. Regular testing and preventive replacement of aging boards is recommended.
Do you supply Mark V HMI and communication components?
Yes, we supply the full range of Mark V components including HMI workstations, communication modules, I/O terminal boards, and power supplies.
