The VMIVME-4150 is a module produced by General Electric (GE). It is an outdated product and has been replaced directly by Merlin Embedded's MVME4150 module. The MVME4150 module provides up to 16 optically isolated analog output channels, each with a power and ground plane independent of the others. Its resolution is increased to 16 bits, and it provides an additional four output channels to connect to unused pins on the I/O connector. Users can also configure each channel to any of nine output types.
In terms of functional characteristics, each channel of the VMIVME-4150 is electrically isolated from all other channels and VME, with an isolation voltage of 1000Vpk. The number of output terminals is up to 12, providing a bipolar voltage output range of 2.5V, 5V or 10V, and a unipolar voltage output range of 0 to 2.5V, 0 to 5V or 0 to 10V. The load capacity of the voltage output over the entire 10V range is 10mA. The module also offers current outputs from 4 to 20mA, 0 to 20mA, or 5 to 25mA. The output accuracy of the loop voltage is 0.05%, and the output accuracy of the current loop is 0.08%.
The VMIVME-4150 also features optical data coupling to provide complete current isolation, simplified program control of static read-back data registers, front panel entry for field connection, programmable connect/disconnect operation of voltage output to facilitate system testing, etc.
Overall, the VMIVME-4150 is a full-featured and stable industrial control module suitable for a wide range of industrial automation and control systems.
The VMIVME-4150 is a full-featured and stable industrial control module, but because it has been directly replaced by Merlin Embedded's MVME4150 module, the specific application domain information about the VMIVME-4150 may no longer be the most up-to-date or extensive.
