Features:
- Provides both DLAN and ARCNET communication circuitry in the G1 card configuration.
- Exchanges data with the SDCC through dual-ported RAM and the 3PL interface.
- Presents communication and diagnostic information through a 16-position alphanumeric display/controller.
The
DS200SLCCG1A adds LAN processing to a compatible SDCC assembly without duplicating the drive-control processors. Its LCP, RAM, and connector paths are dedicated to communication and shared-data functions.
ARCPL carries the ARCNET path, KPPL connects the optional programmer, and the remaining plug connectors carry SDCC, power, and LAN interface signals according to the documented card layout.
JP and WJ hardware jumpers define configurable circuit behavior. Because the DS200 card is supplied without U6 and U7 EPROMs, correct software-device identity and socket placement are part of the card’s functional configuration.
Apter Power can provide a quotation and verified General Electric documentation for the DS200SLCCG1A LAN Communications Card.

Important Notice: Other accessories, manuals, cables, calibration data, software, etc. are not included with this equipment unless listed in the above stock item description.
G1 DLAN and ARCNET Functions
- Group capability: G1 includes both DLAN and ARCNET communication circuitry.
- LAN processor: LCP at U1 runs the communication functions.
- Shared data: Dual-ported RAM at U5 exchanges information with the attached SDCC.
- SDCC interface: 3PL provides the parallel connection to the drive control card.
- Physical stack: Four standoffs mount the SLCC directly above the SDCC assembly.
Connector-Specific Link Checks
- ARCNET path: ARCPL carries the separate ARCNET connection.
- Programmer path: KPPL connects the optional programmer to the LCP section.
- Parallel path: 3PL and U5 must both operate for normal SDCC data exchange.
- Connector seating: 2PL, 3PL, 10PL, ARCPL, and KPPL each serve a distinct interface.
- Group comparison: A mechanically similar SLCC group may omit DLAN, ARCNET, or both.
LCP, Display, and Shared-Memory Diagnostics
- Local display: The 16-position alphanumeric display/controller reports card information.
- Processor activity: Display behavior can be compared with LCP and SDCC communication states.
- Shared-memory fault: Local activity with failed SDCC exchange points toward 3PL or U5.
- Network isolation: A single offline link should be traced through its assigned connector and circuit.
- Jumper state: JP and WJ positions affect configurable behavior and must match the intended network arrangement.
Drive Communication Applications
- DLAN communication: The G1 card provides the documented DLAN path for compatible drive controls.
- ARCNET communication: Integrated ARCNET circuitry supports the DLAN+ network function.
- Drive data exchange: The LCP exchanges control information with SDCC through dual-ported RAM.
- Local programming: KPPL provides the interface for the optional programmer.
- Software execution: U6 and U7 EPROM devices supply the software required by a DS200 SLCC board but are not included with the bare card.
