Product Role & System Fit

Within a VMEbus-based control rack, the GE VMIVME3125 serves as a front-end analog input module. It digitizes sensor signals and places them into dual-ported memory spaces, accessible by the host CPU or real-time control logic. The isolated design ensures that analog channel drift or noise does not corrupt digital logic.

The module often works in tandem with other VME cards such as DAC modules, digital I/O, communications boards, and CPU boards. The CPU reads values from the VMIVME3125’s registers via VME bus protocols, processes the data (control loops, alarms, logging), and possibly commands outputs.

Because of its configuration flexibility (gain, coding, filtering), the VMIVME3125 can adapt to many signal ranges, making it an excellent general-purpose ADC module in a modular VME environment.
