Product Description
VMIVME-4100
The VMIVME-4100 module is a part of a lineup of devices known as VMIC, a series of digital to analog converter boards and CPU units. These units were built as products of the industrial automation division of General Electric, and then later, after being pulled from GE’s production, was acquired and then produced by Abaco Systems. These VMIC module are all available from AX Control’s inventory of products, having been completely refurbished, repaired, and then optimized to meet the latest industrial standards.
The VMIVME-4100 model is built with a range of 4, 8, 12, or 16 Channel Options, with 12 bit Digital to Analog capabilities. It is able to deliver plus or minus 10 volt outputs with positive, true offset, binary input coding.
This converter board features double buffered data latches, buffered voltage outputs, and selectable external or internal update control strobes. In the test mode analog outputs are multiplexed to an analog test bus on the VME P2 backplane (user I/O pins) for analog-to-digital conversion by VMIC's Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) Board (VMIVME-3100). A front panel indicator LED light is provided for quick fault location identification.
A unique feature of the VMIVME-4100 is the built-in testing logic that allows the testing of any one of the analog output channels through the use of an on-board multiplexer and the VMIVME-3100 ADC Board. When in test mode, the field connections through connector P3 may be isolated and any of the 16 channels may be routed to the 12-bit ADC Board via VMIC's Analog Backplane (AMXbusTM).
