Technical Specifications:

 

  • Relay Configuration:
    • 64-channel magnetic latching relays with 1 Form C (SPDT) contacts per channel, providing normally open (NO), normally closed (NC), and common terminals .
    • Supports 8-, 16-, or 32-bit data transfers via VMEbus addressing for efficient signal control .
  • Electrical Ratings:
    • Contact current: 2.0 A maximum per channel, with 220 VDC/250 VAC voltage tolerance for high-power switching .
    • Power consumption: <5W via VMEbus (+5V DC), with reverse polarity protection .
  • Interface:
    • Two 96-pin DIN connectors for front-panel relay access, supporting 64-conductor cables for Form A (SPST) configurations .
    • Built-in test (BIT) logic monitors relay states through secondary poles, ensuring real-time fault detection .
  • Mechanical:
    • 6U VME form factor (233×167×28 mm) with passive cooling and rugged metal enclosure .
    • Weight: 0.8 kg, compatible with standard VME backplanes .

 

Functional Features:

 

  • Latching Operation:
    • Relays retain their state when power is removed, eliminating the need for continuous power to maintain critical control signals .
    • Dual-pole design allows simultaneous user control and BIT monitoring via separate poles, ensuring accuracy during read operations .
  • Diagnostics:
    • BIT logic verifies relay actuation within 7 ms, preventing false fault reports caused by VMEbus timing mismatches .
    • LED indicators for power status and relay activity .
  • Safety Mechanisms:
    • Protection against relay state changes during power up/down cycles, ensuring stable operation in unstable power environments .
    • Mechanical latching prevents accidental contact toggling due to physical vibration .
  • Data Integrity:
    • Non-volatile SRAM stores relay configurations, ensuring parameter persistence across power cycles .
    • Endian-independent addressing for seamless integration with mixed-endian VMEbus systems .

 

Application Scenarios:

 

  • Industrial Automation:
    • Controls conveyor belts in manufacturing plants by coordinating motor 启停 and safety interlocks via latching relays.
    • Manages HVAC systems in cleanrooms, maintaining precise airflow by actuating dampers based on sensor inputs .
  • Medical Equipment:
    • Controls sterilization cycles in autoclaves by regulating steam valves and temperature probes, ensuring compliance with FDA standards .
    • Manages MRI machine components by actuating gradient coils and RF switches during imaging sequences .
  • Transportation:
    • Synchronizes platform screen doors in metro stations with train arrival signals, preventing unauthorized access .
    • Controls brake systems in heavy machinery by actuating solenoids based on diagnostic inputs from vibration sensors .
  • Energy Infrastructure:
    • Supervises power distribution grids by switching circuit breakers during fault conditions, minimizing downtime .
    • Optimizes solar farm output by actuating bypass diodes in photovoltaic arrays under varying irradiance .

 

Key Advantages:

 

  • Rugged Design: Withstands 30g shock (11 ms duration) and 5g RMS vibration (10–500 Hz), making it suitable for harsh industrial environments .
  • Modular Flexibility: Single-board architecture supports direct integration into VMEbus systems without additional interface modules.
  • Longevity: Industrial-grade components ensure 10+ years of operation in 5–95% RH (non-condensing) environments .
