Description

GE VMIVME-2540 Module

The GE VMIVME-2540 Module is an Intelligent Counter/Controller designed for the VMEbus (Versa Module Eurocard bus) architecture. It functions as a slave I/O module within the VMEbus system, providing high-precision digital measurement and function generation capabilities for various industrial automation and control applications.

Product Name: GE VMIVME-2540 Intelligent Counter/Controller

Product Description:

This module offers a combination of functionalities:

• Digital Measurement:
  • Measures frequency, period, pulse width of digital signals with high accuracy.
  • Provides functionalities like event counting, quadrature position measurement, and timer/interrupt generation.
• Function Generation:
  • Generates square wave or pulse train output signals with user-defined parameters.

The VMIVME-2540 acts as an interface between the VMEbus system and external devices:

• Acquires digital signals from sensors like encoders, tachometers, or limit switches.
• Provides control signals to actuators like motors, valves, or solenoids based on control program instructions and measured data.

Key Features:

• Number of Channels: Typically offers 24 configurable input/output channels for digital signals.
• Data Transfer: Connects to the VMEbus system using a standard VMEbus slave interface, enabling data exchange with the main processor.
• Memory: Includes onboard memory for storing configuration data and measurement results.
• Communication Interface: Utilizes RS-422 differential interface with support for single-ended TTL inputs for added flexibility in signal connection options.
• User Interface: Provides a memory-mapped user interface accessible by the VMEbus system for configuration and data retrieval.

Additional Information:

• The specific functionalities, configuration options, and channel configurations (e.g., all inputs, all outputs, or a combination) might depend on the model revision and how it’s integrated within the VMEbus system.
