Acromag / Xembedded / Xycom XVME-260 Digital Relay Output Module

The Acromag / Xembedded / Xycom XVME-260 is a 16-channel digital relay output module engineered for VMEbus-based industrial control systems. Each channel provides Form C (SPDT) relay switching with opto-isolated outputs, delivering 5 ms typical actuation and deactuation times. The module integrates directly into VMEbus backplane architectures and supports standard VMEbus interrupt capabilities, enabling precise control of actuators, solenoids, valves, and indicator devices in demanding industrial environments.
