Product Description
VMIVME-4514
The VMIC series of devices is a line up that ranges in functions. There is a series of analog to digital converter boards, a set of central processing units, and then an array of input and output modules. The VMIVME-4514 model and the rest of these units were developed by the industrial automation division of General Electric, though these models were then acquired and produced by Abaco Systems.
The VMIVME-4514 unit is a Analog Input/Output (AIO) Board, equipped with 16 Channels, and 12 bits. It provides both the stimulus and the response functions encountered in VMEbus based closed analog systems. The analog signals are available at the P2 backplane connector. It is self-contained, with a resident 12 bit Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) and a Digital to Analog Converter (DAC).
The board also supports a Built-in Testing feature that checks all of the active components on the board. The VMIVME-4514 is able to provide a single board solution to the analog input and output requirements of such VMEbus applications as process control, simulators, trainers, and supervisory control.
The VMIVME-4514 is outfitted with 16 analog outputs with 12 bits of resolution. The outputs are designed with individual amplifiers, one per channel. The outputs can be programmed (via on-board jumpers) to operate in a variety of voltage ranges.
The board also accepts 16 analog inputs. These inputs may be differential or pseudo-differential (single-ended). A 36 hertz single pole input filter may be ordered for the inputs. The input ADC can be programmed (via on-board jumpers) to operate in a variety of voltage ranges
The VMIVME-4514A has three ADC operating modes: Random Polling, Scanning Poll, and Auto Scanning.
