GE VMIVME-7750-746000 6U VMEbus CPU Module

Description

The GE VMIVME-7750-746000 crowns the computational apex in VME hierarchies, a single-slot SBC that leverages a 1.26 GHz Intel Pentium III (with 512 KB L2 cache) to execute control imperatives—from PID tuning to waveform buffering—via 64 MB SDRAM and 64 MB CompactFlash, all orchestrated by VxWorks or Linux kernels for partitioned execution that averts overruns in sequenced events. It interfaces with backplane peers like I/O carriers or PMC modules through a 96-pin P1/P2 DIN, ingesting field streams over optional Ethernet or serial ports, processing protection logics in 32-bit mode, then broadcasting outputs via VME interrupts or PMC expansions, clocked to sub-ms determinism for jitter-free loops in motion control or HIL testing. In redundancy setups, it supports voting via mirrored VME slots, where discrepancies self-quarantine to avert asymmetric crashes.

This board embeds mid-hierarchy, linking peripheral terminals like digital I/Os to supervisory SCADA via PMC-hosted Ethernet/IP passthrough, with its standard front panel enabling field tweaks sans external hubs, and LED status (power, fault, activity) queryable via BIOS tools for runtime profiling without disassembly. The GE VMIVME-7750-746000 amplifies expandability through a PMC site (PCI 2.1 compliant) for FPGA or A/D extensions, enduring 0°C to +60°C and 5g vibes via ruggedized design, suiting it for airborne racks or seismic bays. Its 4 MB boot flash serves as initialization media, offloading to CompactFlash for scalability. By centralizing horsepower yet buffering faults with error-correcting SDRAM, it vivifies the VME continuum—from boot diagnostics to multicast streaming—liberating engineers from bespoke patches toward parametric prowess.
