GE VMIVME2170A 32-bit optically coupled digital output board

Description

GE VMIVME2170A is a 32-bit optically coupled digital output board that has been carefully designed to seamlessly integrate into GE’s VMIVME industrial computing system. As part of GE’s comprehensive industrial control product portfolio, it plays a key role in achieving efficient and reliable control of external equipment.

VMIVME2170A

Main features and advantages:
Optical isolation enhances safety and reliability
GE VMIVME2170A provides an extremely high level of optical isolation. Its continuous isolation voltage is 1000 V, and the pulse isolation voltage is 6000 V, which can effectively protect the board and connected equipment from electrical noise and interference. In industrial environments, large motors, power inverters, and other electrical equipment can generate significant electromagnetic interference, and this isolation feature ensures that digital output signals remain clear and accurate. For example, in factories with many high-power electrical equipment operating, VMIVME2170A can still accurately control relays and solenoid valves without being affected by surrounding electrical noise. This not only improves the reliability of the control system, but also reduces the possibility of misoperation and system failure.

Multi functional output capability
This module is equipped with 32 independently controllable outputs, each of which can provide or absorb current. The output current capacity varies between 2.5 mA and 300 mA according to application requirements. This broad output current capability makes it suitable for driving various loads, from low-power electronic components to high-power industrial actuators. For example, it can easily drive small signal relays that control low-voltage circuits, as well as high-power solenoid valves that operate large hydraulic systems. The independently controllable function of each output also provides greater flexibility for system design, allowing for the adoption of more complex control strategies.

Flexible configuration options
GE VMIVME2170A includes a field configurable pull-up resistor that can be adjusted according to specific application requirements. This feature is particularly useful when interfacing with various sensors and devices with different input impedance characteristics. In addition, this module supports both positive and negative logic, allowing customization for specific applications. The flexibility of this configuration ensures that the module can be easily integrated into different industrial control systems, regardless of its existing logic levels and signal requirements.

Robust performance in harsh environments
This module is designed to withstand the harsh conditions of industrial environments and can operate within a wide temperature range of -40 ° C to+85 ° C. It can also withstand a high output voltage tolerance of up to 30 V. This makes it suitable for various industrial environments, including temperature extreme environments such as refrigeration facilities and high-temperature manufacturing factories. Its sturdy structure and high temperature resistance ensure long-term operation with low maintenance requirements, reducing downtime and overall operating costs for industrial users.

Efficient data transmission
This module supports 8-bit and 16 bit data transmission, optimizing data throughput and system responsiveness. In industrial control systems where real-time control is crucial, such as high-speed manufacturing processes or power grid management, efficient data transmission is essential. VMIVME2170A can quickly receive digital control signals from the VMIVME system and transmit them to external devices to ensure timely execution of control actions.

VMIVME2170A

Application areas:
Industrial automation in manufacturing factories
For example, in large automobile manufacturing plants, GE VMIVME2170A plays a crucial role in controlling and driving numerous actuators and relays on automated assembly lines. Taking the welding process of automotive body components as an example, the robot welding arm needs to be precisely controlled to ensure welding quality. VMIVME2170A receives digital signals from the central control system and uses these signals to activate and deactivate relays that control the power supply of the welding gun. By precisely controlling these outputs, it ensures that the welding process is carried out at the correct time and with the correct parameters, resulting in consistent and reliable welds. Similarly, in food and beverage manufacturing factories, this module is used to control filling and capping machines. It can control the solenoid valve that regulates the flow of liquid into the bottle and the motor that covers it, ensuring accurate filling volume and good sealing.

Power generation and distribution
In power plants, whether they are coal-fired power plants, gas turbine power plants, or hydroelectric power plants, GE VMIVME2170A is used to manage the operation of various electrical equipment. For example, in coal-fired power plants, it can control the relays that start and stop the coal conveyor belt, ensuring a stable supply of fuel to the boiler. In the distribution network, this module can be used to control circuit breakers. When an overcurrent or short circuit fault is detected in a specific area of the power grid, the control system will send a digital signal to VMIVME2170A. As a response, the module will activate the corresponding relay to trip the circuit breaker, isolate the fault area, and protect the rest of the power grid from damage.

GE VMIVME1150 (Digital Input Board)
GE VMIVME1150 is a 64 bit optically coupled digital input board. In industrial control systems, it can work in conjunction with VMIVME2170A. VMIVME1150 can receive digital input signals from sensors and switches, process them, and then send the processed data to the control system. The control system can then use this data to generate control signals and send them to VMIVME2170A to drive external devices. For example, during the manufacturing process, VMIVME1150 can receive signals from proximity sensors that detect the presence of products on the conveyor belt. Based on this input, the control system can send a signal to VMIVME2170A to activate the robotic arm to grab the product.

GE VME – I/O Expansion Chassis
This expansion chassis is designed specifically for use with GE’s VME based modules, including VMIVME2170A. It provides additional slots for installing multiple modules, thereby expanding the overall I/O capability of the system. For example, if a manufacturing plant needs to add more digital output channels to control additional actuators, the VMIVME2170A can be installed in an expansion chassis along with other necessary modules to meet the increased control requirements.

Installation and maintenance:
install
Before installing GE VMIVME2170A, ensure that the VMEbus system is powered off to avoid any electrical hazards. Check the VME chassis to confirm that there is a usable dual height European card slot and that it has the correct mechanical and electrical specifications to accommodate the module. When handling modules, use appropriate electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection measures. Wear an ESD grounding wristband and work on an ESD protection surface. Gently insert VMIVME2170A into the VME slot, ensuring it is aligned correctly and fully seated. The connectors on the module should be securely engaged with the connectors in the slots. After installation, verify that all DIP switches used for address configuration are set correctly according to system requirements.

maintenance
Regular visual inspections should be conducted at least once a month. Check for any physical signs of damage to the module, such as cracks in the casing, bent pins, or loose components. Check the connection to ensure it is secure and free from corrosion. If any problems are found, they should be dealt with immediately. Regularly conduct functional testing on modules. Testing can be conducted using diagnostic tools provided by GE or custom developed test scripts. The test should verify whether all 32 output channels are working properly and whether the optical isolation is functioning properly. Check for short circuits or open circuits in the output circuit. GE may occasionally release firmware updates for VMIVME2170A. These updates typically include error fixes, performance improvements, and new features. Install as soon as the update is available, but be sure to back up the module’s configuration settings before updating to avoid data loss. Carefully follow the update instructions provided by GE to ensure a successful update process.
