Curtiss-Wright / Synergy Microsystems VGM5 VME Module

The Curtiss-Wright/Synergy Microsystems VGM5 is a VMEbus module engineered for demanding industrial and embedded computing environments. This card-level computer platform integrates directly into VMEbus chassis to support data acquisition, process control, real-time signal processing, and industrial automation tasks. Built to VME standards, the VGM5 delivers deterministic operation required in time-critical applications while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility across mixed VMEbus system deployments.

Technical Specifications Bus Architecture: VMEbus Form Factor: Standard Eurocard dimensions conforming to VMEbus mechanical specifications (3U or 6U height with standard width) Primary Interface: VMEbus connector (DIN 41612) for system backplane integration I/O Interfaces: Variable configuration supporting digital I/O, analog I/O, and serial communication (RS-232, RS-485) depending on module variant
