Description

VMIVME-9064: Product Overview​
The GE VMIVME-9064​ is a reflective memory intelligent I/O controller designed for VMEbus-based industrial automation systems. As a critical component of the VME ecosystem, it enables high-speed data exchange between field devices (e.g., sensors, actuators) and the main controller using reflective memory technology, which is essential for real-time control in applications like turbine control, power generation, and manufacturing.
Role in Automation Systems:
Positioned as a “communication and control hub” in VMEbus architectures, the VMIVME-9064 performs two primary functions:
  1. Intelligent I/O Control: Manages I/O signals from field devices (e.g., limit switches, solenoid valves) and transmits them to the main controller via the VMEbus.
  2. Reflective Memory Communication: Uses reflective memory to enable high-speed, low-latency data exchange between multiple nodes in a VMEbus system, ensuring real-time synchronization of control signals.
Core Functionality:
  • Reflective Memory Support: Compatible with Abaco reflective memory products (e.g., VMIVME-5550, -5565), allowing seamless integration into reflective memory networks for high-speed data transfer.
  • Flexible I/O Configuration: Supports configurable I/O channels (compatible with 64-bit I/O boards like VMIVME-1111), enabling connection to a wide range of field devices.
  • Protection Mechanisms: Includes surge current shutdown, thermal shutdown, and output clamp diodes to protect against voltage spikes and inductive loads, ensuring reliable operation in harsh industrial environments.
  • VMEbus Compatibility: Conforms to VMEbus Rev. C.1, supporting 8/16/32-bit data transfer and seamless integration with VMEbus-based controllers (e.g., GE Fanuc 90-30 series).
Platform Benefits (VMEbus Series):
The VMIVME-9064 leverages GE’s VMEbus platform, which is renowned for:
  • Reliability: Industrial-grade components and a rugged design ensure 24/7 operation in harsh environments (e.g., high temperature, vibration).
  • Scalability: Supports expansion with additional I/O boards and reflective memory nodes to accommodate growing system demands.
  • Integration: Seamlessly integrates with VMEbus-based controllers and other I/O modules, reducing setup time and effort.
