Features:
- Three edge-latched zero-crossing channels preserve a 16-bit timer value for bridge-event timing.
- Eight VCO accumulators and six parallel Sigma-Delta channels provide two conversion paths for conditioned voltage and current feedback.
- Per-leg commutation counters, reconstructed-flux signals, and software ground-fault and difference-current functions add diagnostic context to the firing data.
A host read command transfers the eight VCO counts together with the system-clock value held in the feedback-time register, allowing measurement data to be related to one acquisition instant.
Front testpoints separate combined current, overcurrent setpoint, phase current, bridge voltage, reconstructed flux, and selected firing outputs without using the factory-only TSTP connectors.
The P2 backplane sets the VME address automatically for the occupied slot and carries the expansion signals shared with the other FCGD boards.

Important Notice: Other accessories, manuals, cables, calibration data, software, etc. are not included with this equipment unless listed in the above stock item description. All prices are shown in USD.
- System counter: A 16-bit up-counter rolls from 0FFFFH to zero.
- Zero-crossing latches: Three hardware inputs capture the current counter value at each signal edge.
- Feedback timestamp: A host command stores the system-clock value with the eight VCO accumulator readings.
- Commutation window: Each bridge leg is checked against its commanded firing interval plus permitted overlap time.
- VCO inputs: VA, VB, VC, VDC, IA, IC, FLUXBAR, and FLUXCBR drive eight frequency-conversion channels.
- VCO registers: Each channel accumulates in a 16-bit counter before the host transfers the set.
- Sigma-Delta path: Six converters process conditioned voltage and current in parallel with the VCO channels.
- Flux reconstruction: FBAR, FCBR, and FACR are generated in hardware for timing and diagnostic use.
- Hardware overcurrent: IFB above OC_SP for approximately 26 ms produces a latched signal cleared only by hardware reset.
- Commutation failure: Off-window leg current increments a per-leg counter that resets with each new firing mask.
- Ground fault: Detection is implemented in software using acquired board signals.
- Difference current: Source-to-source or load-to-source comparison is also implemented in software.
- LS2100 static-starter control racks using the FCGD as the bridge interface board.
- Six-pulse phase-controlled non-reversing bridges requiring SCR firing-command distribution.
- DSPC and VME control assemblies that return bridge voltage, current and status feedback.
- H1B-group service replacements where the complete suffix and installed configuration are matched.
