Name that Ware August 2015

The Ware for August 2015 is shown below.

I found this kicking around in the South China Material market this past June. It is indeed a production board (and still in use today!), so there is a definitive answer to this month’s challenge sitting somewhere in the cloud. The extensive use of CD4000 series CMOS chips in this board brings a little grin to my face — haven’t seen one of those in ages (except for the CD4066, which is still pretty handy even in contemporary situations).

Also, as a bonus, I found this in the same shop. This one isn’t for guessing, just for looking at. I’m a fan of FANUC.

As an administrative note, images from this site and the kosagi wiki, and a few other miscellaneous services, will be off-line for a bit on September 2nd. There’s maintenance work scheduled on the power grid at my flat, and so my servers will be brought off-line. If all goes well, it’ll be just 15 minutes. However, if the mains breaker to my unit doesn’t automatically reset, it could be up to a few hours before someone can get to it. I’ll be somewhere in Black Rock City, far from the Internet, while this all goes down…so if something really unfortunate happens, it could be a week before things get restored from backups.

    I guess it’s Baum SK66 “cutting circuit board”.
    The LEDs seem to match the description on http://www.baumfolder.com/sheets/cutter-troubleshooting-guide/721.html and this page http://www.baumfolder.com/sheets/cutter-troubleshooting-guide/701.html refers to the LED description page.
    I could not find another picture of the board to confirm…

    I could not find another picture of the board to confirm though…

    At first glance, that would appear to be a PBX line card for driving stations (extensions). Relays for engaging ring generators along with some hefty power handling, plenty of protection, not to mention exactly 12 (a common number of of channels per-line card) LEDs for status. Oh and the keyed connector that allows it to only slot into specific slots of the chassis.

    I see lots of multiples of 5 and 7, not much 12.

    – 5 (full-wave bridge?) diode arrays, each linked to a round can IC (transistor?)
    – 7 power semiconductors
    – 7 red LEDs
    – 7 + 5 green LEDs
    – Lots of resistors in groups of 5.

    Also that group of 3 relays + 3 red “somethings”.

  5. Hern says:

    It seen like a speed controller for tri-phase motor. Maybe the leds are to show some information about the load attached to the motor.

  6. Austen B says:

    Barber Coleman plc. Most like from an injection mold machine or blow molding

    The next one is a Fanuc spindle amp top board.

  7. zebonaut says:

    The reference designators (V for discrete semiconductors) strongly suggest that the ware was designed and manufactured in Germany or at least in a place where the standards are accepted. The component manufacturers (Siemens for tantalum capacitors, Philips for the large transistor, …) back up this suspicion.

  8. zebonaut says:

    … DIN standards is what I wanted to say…

  11. I don’t believe it’s a scam at this time, however I’ll have a full assessment by Monday
    or Tuesday, when all the knowledge is available
    in and I could make an educated judgment of how
    well it is working.
