Detailed content
The VME-2528 is a high-density VMEbus digital input/output module designed for industrial automation and control systems, offering flexible signal handling and robust performance in demanding environments.
Technical Specifications:
- Input/Output Architecture:
- 128-bit TTL-compatible channels configured as discrete digital inputs or outputs, supporting 5V DC logic levels with ±20% tolerance.
- Dual 64-pin DIN 41612 connectors for signal termination, enabling daisy-chain or point-to-point wiring.
- Data Transfer Modes: 8-bit or 16-bit transfers via VMEbus, with addressable access to any short supervisory or non-privileged I/O map.
- Isolation:
- Galvanic isolation between I/O channels and VMEbus to protect against ground loops and voltage surges.
- Electrical:
- Power: +5V DC (current consumption dependent on I/O activity), sourced via VMEbus with reverse polarity protection.
- Output Drive: 24 mA sink capability per channel for driving loads like relays or LEDs.
- Environmental:
- Operating Temperature: -40°C to +85°C, suitable for extended industrial and military applications.
- Mechanical: 6U VME form factor (3U height) with rugged metal enclosure, compliant with shock (50g) and vibration (10g) standards.
Functional Features:
- Signal Conditioning:
- Individual Port Direction Control: Jumpers for configuring each port as input or output, enabling mixed I/O configurations.
- Real-Time Loopback Testing: Built-in diagnostic capability to verify signal integrity and connectivity.
- Error Handling:
- Open/Short Circuit Detection: Monitors thermocouple integrity with status flags for real-time fault reporting.
- Overvoltage Protection: Transient protection up to 30V DC on input lines.
- Configuration Flexibility:
- 12 DIP Switches: Define address mapping for short data I/O, allowing unlimited customization of VMEbus addressing.
- Alternating Grounds: Mitigates noise interference by alternating ground references on I/O pins.
- Reliability:
- Hot-Swap Capability: Module replacement without system shutdown, ensuring continuous operation.
- LED Indicators: Provides visual feedback for channel status and power health.
Application Scenarios:
- Industrial Automation:
- Manufacturing Machinery: Controls robotic arm movements and monitors limit switches in CNC machining centers.
- Packaging Lines: Manages conveyor belt synchronization and product sorting via proximity sensors.
- Energy Infrastructure:
- Substation Monitoring: Supervises circuit breaker status and relay controls for grid stabilization.
- Renewable Energy: Coordinates inverter switching and battery management in solar and wind farms.
- Transportation Systems:
- Rail Signaling: Controls track switches and monitors train presence via inductive loops.
- Aerospace Testing: Validates avionics systems in environmental chambers by simulating sensor inputs.
- Defense and Security:
- Missile Guidance: Processes radar trigger signals and manages launcher interlocks.
- Surveillance Systems: Coordinates camera pan/tilt mechanisms and access control in perimeter security.
- Process Control:
- Chemical Reactors: Monitors safety interlocks and valve positions during batch production.
- Pharmaceutical Cleanrooms: Ensures compliance with ISO standards by managing HEPA filter statuses.
