Description

VMIVME-4132: Product Overview​
The GE VMIVME-4132​ is a 32-channel 12-bit analog output board designed for VMEbus-based industrial automation systems. As a critical component of the VME ecosystem, it enables precise analog signal output from the VMEbus controller to field actuators (e.g., solenoid valves, contactors) and signal generators (e.g., data acquisition systems), supporting real-time control and monitoring in harsh industrial environments.
Role in Automation Systems:
Positioned as an “analog signal output interface” in VMEbus architectures, the VMIVME-4132 performs two primary functions:
  1. Analog Signal Output: Converts digital signals from the VMEbus controller into high-precision analog outputs (voltage/current) to drive field actuators (e.g., opening a valve via a solenoid).
  2. Signal Generation: Provides stable analog signals for data acquisition systems (e.g., testing equipment, calibration devices), enabling precise measurement and analysis.
Core Functionality:
  • High-Precision Conversion: Each channel features a dedicated 12-bit DAC, achieving a precision of 0.025% (full-scale). This ensures accurate control of actuators—critical for maintaining turbine stability and complying with utility regulations.
  • Flexible Output Configuration: Software-selectable output ranges (±10 V DC) and current/voltage modes allow the board to interface with different field devices, reducing the need for additional signal conditioning hardware.
  • Rugged Industrial Design: The board’s operating temperature range (0°C to +55°C) and compact form factor make it suitable for harsh industrial environments. Its DIN rail mounting option simplifies installation in crowded control cabinets, reducing setup time and effort.
  • Easy Integration: VMEbus compatibility ensures seamless integration with existing VMEbus-based systems, minimizing downtime and effort during upgrades. This is invaluable for facilities with legacy VMEbus installations, allowing them to enhance system capabilities without replacing entire architectures.

Core Features & Customer Value​
1. High-Precision Actuator Control:
The VMIVME-4132’s 12-bit resolution ensures accurate output signals, which is critical for maintaining turbine stability—even minor errors in signal output can lead to incorrect control decisions (e.g., misadjusting fuel flow, resulting in inefficient combustion).
2. Flexible Output Configuration:
Software-selectable output ranges (±10 V DC) and current/voltage modes allow the board to interface with different field devices, reducing the need for additional signal conditioning hardware. This flexibility saves time and money during installation.
3. Rugged Industrial Design:
The board’s operating temperature range (0°C to +55°C) and compact form factor make it suitable for harsh industrial environments. Its DIN rail mounting option simplifies installation in crowded control cabinets, reducing setup time and effort.
4. Easy Integration:
VMEbus compatibility ensures seamless integration with existing VMEbus-based systems, minimizing downtime and effort during upgrades. This is invaluable for facilities with legacy VMEbus installations, allowing them to enhance system capabilities without replacing entire architectures.
