This unit
The Abaco Systems / VMIC VMIVME-5531S-000 is a slave VMEbus fiber-optic repeater link that extends VME communication across isolated chassis via fiber-optic cable. This two-board set enables VME slave I/O boards in a secondary chassis to be controlled by a VME master in a primary chassis, delivering software-transparent operation with total electrical isolation between systems. The link supports unidirectional link control with bidirectional data transfers and operates plug-and-play with no software overhead.
Technical Specifications
- Maximum Transfer Rate: 1 MB/s
- Maximum Fiber-Optic Cable Length: 6,560 ft (2,000 m)
- Master Board Form Factor: 6U VMEbus
- Slave Board Form Factor: 6U or 3U VMEbus
- VMEbus Addressing Support (6U Slave): 16-, 24-, and 32-bit
- VMEbus Data Transfers (6U Slave): 8-, 16-, and 32-bit
- VMEbus Addressing Support (3U Slave): 16-, 24-bit
- VMEbus Data Transfers (3U Slave): 8-, 16-bit
- Isolation: Total electrical isolation with high-voltage isolation between VME systems
- Cable Configuration: Two fiber-optic cables per link; no EMI generation
- System Reset: Master board link reset switch allows SYSRESET assertion in secondary chassis independent of primary; primary SYSRESET propagates to all secondary chassis
Key Features
- Software-transparent communication eliminates software overhead
- Star configuration support enables linking multiple VME systems
- Accepts only non-interrupting slave boards in secondary chassis
- Form, fit, and function replacement for VMIVME-5530
- EMI-free fiber-optic cabling
Typical Applications
- Industrial control systems requiring chassis expansion
- Military applications demanding electrical isolation
- Geographically distributed VME systems
- High-reliability multi-chassis VME architectures
Compatibility & Integration Fully compatible with VMEbus standards. Does not support slave interrupts. Operates as a two-board repeater link set with master and slave configurations.
