VMIVME-1128
VMIVME-1128 VMEbus Serial Communication Module (GE Fanuc Embedded Systems Multi-Protocol Serial Interface Unit)
Product Description
The VMIVME-1128 is a versatile VMEbus serial communication module designed by GE Fanuc (now part of Emerson) for embedded systems requiring multi-protocol serial connectivity. As a critical interface component, it provides multiple serial ports to enable data exchange between VMEbus-based single-board computers and a wide range of industrial devices, such as sensors, actuators, HMIs, and legacy equipment.
Widely used in industrial automation, military systems, and transportation control, this module facilitates seamless communication in environments where diverse serial protocols coexist. In a military vehicle’s control system, it connects the VMEbus-based main controller to 8 peripheral devices—including GPS receivers (RS-232), inertial sensors (RS-422), and communication radios (RS-485)—managing data flow at baud rates up to 115.2kbps. Its rugged design ensures reliable operation in vibration-prone environments, reducing communication errors by 30% compared to commercial-grade serial cards. In a railway signaling system, the VMIVME-1128 handles real-time status updates from trackside sensors via RS-485, with a data throughput of 500kbps ensuring timely transmission of critical safety information, which is vital for preventing collisions.
Housed in a robust metal enclosure with conformal coating, the module achieves an IP20 protection rating, suitable for installation in VMEbus racks. It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to 85°C, stores in -55°C to 125°C, and handles 5%-95% relative humidity (non-condensing). With a mean time between failures (MTBF) of ≥300,000 hours, it integrates seamlessly with VMEbus systems, supporting plug-and-play configuration for rapid deployment in mission-critical applications.
