Features

A distinctive feature of the VCMI is that it acts exclusively as a VMEbus master within the control and input/output racks.

The VCMI is responsible for the VMEbus, a standardized computer bus structure, and oversees the coordination of data transfer and control signals within these racks.

The VCMI manages the assignment of unique identification (ID) to all boards in the rack and their associated terminal boards.

This ID management function ensures that the various components within the rack are identified and interacted with in a systematic and organized manner, thereby increasing the overall efficiency and reliability of the system.

The VCMI Bus Master Controller is a multifaceted communications hub that seamlessly connects controllers, I/O boards and the broader system control network.

As a VME Bus Master Controller in a given rack, it enhances its ability to manage and optimize the flow of information, ultimately improving the performance and cohesiveness of the integrated system.

The module can be used to energize output devices such as relay coils, solenoid-driven instruments, indicator lights, and other instruments.

It has no snubber circuits or internal protective fuses, however, the user can install external protection accordingly.

The module does not display output leakage currents because the contact outputs are open-circuit when not activated.

In addition, each output channel has a response time of 10 ms and is dedicated to open-to-closed and proximity-to-open contact switching.

The maximum switching frequency of each output contact is 20 cycles per minute when used with inductive loads. Each output channel is equipped with a separate channel status indicator to characterize the operating status of each channel.
