GE XVME-230

Input Voltage:The module operates on a +5 VDC supply

Power Consumption:The typical power consumption is around 2 Watts.

Input Type:The module supports digital input signals (typically TTL or CMOS logic levels) and analog signals.

Input Frequency: Capable of handling input frequencies up to 5 MHz per channel.

Resolution:The module provides 12-bit resolution per channel for accurate counting.

Output Type:The module can output data in a format that is processed and ready for integration with other systems or software tools. The outputs are typically sent over the VMEbus backplane for further processing.

Product Features

Overvoltage Protection:Generally outputvoltage may be protected, if dealing with a standardpower supply variation to nominal values, overvoltage maybe not designed. When the input voltage exceeds +5 VDC, ensure that the voltage does not exceed this value to safely operate the device.

Short circuit protection: Typically, the modules have individual input channels protected from short circuits to guarantee safe operation.

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Protection:Static electricity discharges have been protected for the module to provide safe functioning in industrial scenarios.

Input Channels:The GE XVME-230 is capable of handling up to 16 independent high-speed counting operations per channel.

Signal Processing: The input signals are processed at a very high speed and when high accuracy is required, the counting resolution that the system can provide is 12 bits.

Cooling:Passive cooling employed. It is recommended to provide sufficient air flow or ventilation through the module to ensure stable operation.

Interface: GE XVME-230 is simple and fast access for the data exchange between other modules or devices.

Installation

Mechanical Installation:The module is intended to be mounted into VME standard VME racks. Its mounting holes and connectors are designed to fit into each other correctly and attach firmly without movement. Be sure to be careful during installation, so as to not physically damage it in a way that would affect its function.

Electrical Installation: When connecting the power supply and signal cables, follow the supplied wiring diagrams carefully. Ensure cable shielding to prevent electromagnetic interference, particularly in sensitive signals. Electrical Stability: Ensure proper Grounding

Initial Configuration Setup: Once physical installation is done we need configuration. Setting communication parameters, memory size and address of your devices. These settings can be securely and accurately completed using GE's dedicated software tools.

Application Range

Industrial Automation:In factories, GE XVME-230 can be used to control and monitor production processes. It interfaces with sensors and actuators to manage machinery operation, improve production efficiency, and ensure product quality.

Telecommunications: GE XVME-230 processes signals and manages data flow in telecom base stations or network equipment. It can assist in call processing, data routing, and network management, facilitating background processes that keep communication systems up and running.

Military and Defense: GE XVME-230 reliability and capability to work under extreme conditions make it useful in military hardware for radar signal processing, missile targeting systems, and battlefield communications.

Troubleshooting

No Output:Verify integrity and configuration of input signal connections. Ensure that the module is seated in the VMEbus slot. Make sure that the system is powered on and working.

Erratic counting:Check input signals for noise or interference. Ensure that the module's settings correspond to the input signal specifications.

High-temperature conditions:Make sure to provide enough ventilation gaping around the module. Inspect for blockages or problems within the system’s cooling mechanisms.
