Description
GE Fanuc DS200FSAAG2ABA High-Speed Digital Signal Processor Module
The DS200FSAAG2ABA is a high-performance digital signal processing (DSP) module from GE Fanuc’s Mark VIe series, engineered for real-time control of critical industrial systems, including gas turbines, compressors, and high-speed machinery. With 200 MHz processing power and 16-channels of analog/digital I/O, this module delivers sub-millisecond response times and rugged reliability in extreme environments.
1. Product Overview
The DS200FSAAG2ABA serves as the computational core for GE’s Mark VIe control systems, enabling advanced algorithms like predictive maintenance, vibration analysis, and closed-loop speed control. Its dual-redundant architecture and 2.5kV isolation protect against voltage surges and ensure 99.99% uptime in power plants, oil refineries, and automotive manufacturing. The module’s hot-swap capability and -40°C to +75°C operating range make it ideal for harsh industrial settings.

6. Selection Recommendations
- Speed Requirements: Choose DS200FSAAG2ABA for sub-millisecond control; use DS200FSAAG1AA (1ms cycle) for non-critical applications.
- Redundancy: Pair with GE’s DS200FSABG2ABA for full N+1 redundancy in gas turbine systems.
- Environment: Opt for the DS200FSAAG2ABH variant (IP66-rated) for outdoor/washdown environments.
7. Installation & Maintenance Notes
- Cooling: Ensure 20 CFM airflow in cabinets; add heat sinks for continuous 0.5ms operation.
- Wiring: Use shielded cables for analog inputs to minimize EMI; torque terminals to 0.6 N·m.
- Firmware: Quarterly updates via GE’s Proficy software enhance algorithm accuracy and cybersecurity.
