More Information

Overview Manuals PLC Link Port Setup Host & Slot Fault Isolation

Features:

  • Provides the Series Ninety Protocol path between the LCI control and a Series 90-30 PLC.
  • Combines an RS-232C interface with a second isolated serial communication path.
  • Uses configurable port enable values and a defined daughterboard slot assignment.
The PLC-based LCI architecture uses SNPA communication for application sequencing, reference exchange, and fault reporting.

A DSPC host carries the daughterboard and remains the VME bus master while the PLC handles job-specific control functions.

The alternative Innovation Series Controller architecture replaces the PLC with a UCVA processor and therefore omits the SNPA daughterboard.

The General Electric DS200SNPAH1A SNP Protocol Interface Daughterboard may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

How the PLC communication path is divided

  • Protocol path: DS200SNPAH1A carries the Series Ninety Protocol serial link used by the Series 90-30 PLC.
  • PLC duties: The PLC handles application-dependent sequencing plus speed and torque reference selection.
  • DSPC duties: The host processor retains the fast LCI control functions and supplies non-volatile tuneup values to the PLC.
  • Returned information: Extensive DSPC fault reporting can pass through the PLC to the optional display or customer communications.

Setting the two SNP communication ports

  • Port 1 variable: SNPA_P1_PROTOCOL controls the first DS200SNPAH1A serial channel independently.
  • Port 2 variable: SNPA_P2_PROTOCOL provides a separate enable selection for the second serial channel.
  • Disabled value: A setting of 0 leaves the selected port inactive and should be checked when a link remains silent.
  • SNP value: A setting of 1 enables Series Ninety Protocol operation on the selected port.

Matching the daughterboard to its DSPC position

  • Host assembly: DS200SNPAH1A installs on the DS200DSPC processor board rather than directly in the VME backplane.
  • Slot range: SNPA_SLOT identifies daughterboard positions 1 through 4, with slot 1 at the bottom of the DSPC.
  • Position check: The configured slot must agree with the physical daughterboard location after service work.
  • Architecture limit: A UCVA-based Innovation Series Controller installation does not use this daughterboard position.

Separating configuration faults from hardware faults

  • DETECT/CFG indication: This message means the SNPA communication board was not initialized or configured correctly.
  • First comparison: Confirm that DS200SNPAH1A is expected in a PLC-based cabinet before changing any hardware.
  • Configuration check: Compare both port enables and SNPA_SLOT with the intended serial path and daughterboard position.
  • Hardware decision: If configuration and seating agree and no other indication explains the fault, the manual directs replacement of the SNPA daughterboard.
Description
General Electric DS200SNPAH1A is the SNP protocol interface daughterboard used in the PLC-based version of an Innovation Series load commutated inverter. It provides the serial path between the DSPC control board and the GE Fanuc Series 90-30 PLC.

The DS200SNPAH1A mounts as a daughterboard on the DSPC. Its SNPA function uses an RS-232C path and an isolated RS-484 path, while the PLC communications bus carries Series Ninety Protocol.

Port operation on DS200SNPAH1A is governed by separate protocol selections for port 1 and port 2. A value of 0 disables the selected port and a value of 1 enables SNP communication; the SNPA slot setting assigns positions 1 through 4 on the DSPC.

An Innovation Series Controller configuration eliminates the DS200SNPAH1A because the UCVA processor replaces the PLC. In a PLC-based cabinet, an SNPA DETECT/CFG indication signals an initialization, configuration, seating, or slot-assignment issue.

FAQS

The following is a list of questions commonly asked by our customers. Please contact us if you have a question about our process that is not answered below.
Why can DS200SNPAH1A appear healthy while the Series 90-30 PLC link stays silent?
For DS200SNPAH1A, confirm the cabinet uses the PLC-based LCI architecture and that the selected SNPA port is enabled for SNP communication.
After reseating DS200SNPAH1A, what should be checked when SNPA DETECT/CFG remains active?
Check DS200SNPAH1A initialization, daughterboard seating, and the configured slot value before treating the fault as a failed board.
Does DS200SNPAH1A belong in an LCI fitted with the Innovation Series Controller?
No. DS200SNPAH1A is eliminated in that architecture because the UCVA processor replaces the Series 90-30 PLC.
Which interface mismatch can interrupt DS200SNPAH1A communications during cabinet rewiring?
Keep the DS200SNPAH1A RS-232C and isolated serial paths on their assigned cable routes and destinations; exchanging the paths can break the PLC link.
How is an inactive second serial port corrected on DS200SNPAH1A?
Review the DS200SNPAH1A port 2 protocol value: 0 disables the port, while 1 enables SNP operation.
What confirms that a replacement DS200SNPAH1A is installed in the intended daughterboard position?
Match the DS200SNPAH1A slot setting, from position 1 through 4, to its physical location on the DSPC board.
When the PLC communicates intermittently through DS200SNPAH1A, what should be isolated first?
With DS200SNPAH1A, separate a port-setting or cable-path issue from a DSPC seating problem before replacing either assembly.
What should procurement preserve from DS200SNPAH1A revision ABB when requesting a replacement?
Preserve the complete DS200SNPAH1ABB marking and the configured host-slot record so the request identifies the installed revision precisely.
