It features 16-bit digital resolution, program-controlled gain, selectable slew rates, and auto-scanning for 64 differential or single-ended channels,

Auto-scan for 64 differential or single-ended analog inputs.

The VMIVME-3122 has excellent dynamic range and analog input channel density. Multiple modes of operation are supported, including auto-scan, data burst, and external synchronization.

The board interfaces directly with VMIC’s family of signal conditioning boards to digitize the outputs of thermocouples, RTDs, and strain gages.

Individual channel gains can be downloaded for use during scanning operations, or the board can be configured for fixed gains. The boards can be configured for fixed gain common to all channels.

Multiple boards can be synchronized together, allowing up to 16 boards to start each scan simultaneously.

Interval timers, bus interrupters, channel counters, and mid-scan/end-of-scan flags simplify monitoring of data in the dual-port data buffer.

System applications that can benefit from the features of the VMIVME-3122 include factory automation, process control, data acquisition systems, training simulators, and laboratory instrumentation.

Functional Description

The VMIVME-3122 is a high-resolution, 16-bit, 64-channel analog scan and digitizing input board for VMEbus system applications.

Dual-port data memory, on-board timers, automatic gain control, and programmable bus interrupters enable the VMIVME-3122 to support large amounts of analog input traffic with minimal host processor involvement.

Analog inputs are scanned and digitized sequentially. Digital values are stored in dual-port data buffers that are readily accessible from the VME bus.

The gain of each channel can be programmed individually or set by software to a fixed gain common to all channels. Channel gains are software selectable to x1 or x10.

The A/D converter voltage ranges are jumper-selectable to ±2.5 V, ±5 V, ±10 V, 0 to 5 V, and 0 to 10 V. The A/D converter voltage ranges can be set to ±1 or x10 by software.

Upon system or program reset, the board will initialize in 64-channel auto-scan mode at 100 KHz with all channel gains initialized to 1 (x1).

After the reset operation, the program can select timed burst or triggered burst mode and modify the block size, buffer size, and channel gains as desired.

The channel block can be adjusted to 1. 8. 16. 32. or 64 channels, and the data buffer size can be selected from 16 to 1.000 channels.

The data buffer size is selectable from 16 to 1.024 data words in binary increments.

In standard performance mode, the board must be reprogrammed after a reset to obtain a 50 kHz scan rate. The value of $00F7 must be written to relative address $0006.

Timed Data Bursts are controlled by an interval timer that provides repeat or single burst intervals of up to 687 seconds.

A burst can contain from 8 to 1.024 channel samples. A data ready flag can be used in the middle or at the end of a scan, and an interrupt request can be generated at the same time as the flag.

An interrupt can also be initiated after a specific number of samples have been acquired.

Features

Description: The VMIPCI-5565 is the PCI member of the VMIxxx-5565 family of reflective memory (RFM) real-time networking products from GE Fanuc Embedded Systems.

Other members of this family include the VME-compatible board VMIVME-5565 and the PCI mezzanine card (PMC) VMIPMC-5565.

All three products are network compatible and can be integrated into a network in any combination.

This family of products allows computers, workstations, programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and other embedded controllers with different operating systems or no operating system at all to share data in real time.

Reflective Memory boards are like shared memory for local nodes.

Any level of software, including the application program itself, can write to or read from the memory.

Data written to one node’s Reflective Memory is transferred by the network hardware to all other nodes and placed in the same addresses on those nodes’ Reflective Memory boards.

This data transfer does not require the involvement of a processor on any node. With this system, all nodes on the network have a local copy of the shared data that is immediately accessible.

Product Overview: The Reflective Memory concept provides a very fast and efficient way to share data between distributed computer systems.

The VMIPCI-5565 Reflective Memory Interface allows data to be shared between up to 256 independent systems (nodes) at rates up to 174MB/s. Each Reflective Memory board can be configured with 64MB of memory.

Each Reflected Memory board can be configured with either 64MB or 128MB of on-board SDRAM. local SDRAM provides fast read access times to stored data.

Write data is stored in the local SDRAM and broadcast to other Reflective Memory nodes via a high-speed fiber optic data path.

Data transfers between nodes are software transparent, so there is no I/O overhead.

Transmit and receive FIFOs buffer data during peak data rates to optimize host and bus performance and maintain high data throughput.

Reflective memory also allows interrupts to one or more nodes by writing to byte registers.

These interrupts (four levels, each user-definable) can be signaled to synchronize system processes or to follow any data.

The interrupts always follow the data to ensure that the data is received before the interrupt is acknowledged.

Each node in the system has a unique identification number between 0 and 255.

The node number is determined by placing jumpers on the board during hardware system integration.

Software can read the node number by accessing on-board registers. In some applications, this node number helps determine the function of the node.

Link Arbitration: The VMIPCI-5565 system is a fiber optic daisy chain ring as shown in Figure 2.

Each transmission travels from one node to another until it wraps around the ring and reaches the originating node.

Each node retransmits all transmissions it receives except those it originates.

A node can insert transmissions between passed transmissions.

Standard Monitor and/or Standard Unprivileged I/O mapping.

Addressing Scheme: 32 bytes, individually addressable on 8. 16. or 32-bit boundaries. The board ID register is located at the board’s base address.

The Control and Status Register (CSR) is stacked on top of the ID register. 16 output bytes are located above the CSR. 20 jumpers identify the board’s base address.

Another jumper is used for the standard or short address.

Output Drivers: The output drivers provide overcurrent (short circuit) and thermal shutdown protection. The overcurrent protection has a minimum current of 370 mA, allowing safe operation at currents up to 350 mA.

The thermal shutdown function depends on

Thermal shutdown is a function of load, number of channels turned on per byte, and duty cycle. Figure 3 shows the allowable output current at 25 and 50 °C as a function of duty cycle and number of channels turned on.

Since thermal shutdown limits the allowable output current for many applications, a heavy load option is provided by connecting two output devices in parallel.

Parallel Placement. Connecting two devices in parallel may or may not double the short-circuit protection current. However, the overload protection (thermal shutdown) current is doubled.

Comparison of PMC-5565PIORC and VMIPMC-5565

The PMC-5565PIORC combines the components of the classic VMIPMC-5565 into a single FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array).

These components include PLX Technologies’ PCI interface device, three separate small FPGAs, a transmit FIFO and a receive FIFO.

The PMC-5565PIORC adds greater design flexibility than the legacy VMIPMC-5565 and improves performance in at least three ways.

1. the PMC-5565PIORC has improved DMA burst and PIO single read access rates over the legacy VMIPMC-5565. 2. the PMC-5565PIORC has improved DMA burst and PIO single read access rates over the legacy VMIPMC-5565.

2. The PMC-5565PIORC’s onboard SDRAM memory access bandwidth has been doubled, improving overall throughput. doubled, increasing overall throughput.

3. The PMC-5565PIORC can be field upgraded as new features are added.

The legacy VMIPMC-5565 contains a set of control registers in the PLX device and a separate set of RFM-specific control registers in the FPGA.

Since these two sets of registers are physically located in different devices, they are accessed through different memory areas.

On the other hand, the PMC-5565PIORC contains two sets of registers in the same FPGA. These two sets of registers could have been combined.

However, in order to maintain software continuity and backward compatibility, the two sets of registers are stored separately as in the classic VMIPMC-5565.

In addition, the individual bit functions within the registers (where applicable) remain compatible.

The PMC-5565PIORC does not include a second DMA engine.

As shown below, the PMC-5565PIORC has an optical transceiver and three LEDs on the front panel.

The port labeled “RX” is the receiver and the port labeled “TX” is the transmitter.The PMC-5565PIORC uses an “LC” type fiber optic cable.

The IS215AEPAH1A AEPA card module assembly is manufactured by GE Energy for use with the Mark VIe wind turbine control system family.

Product Description.

This IS215AEPAH1A printed circuit board was originally designed for General Electric’s Mark VIe series.

This Mark VIe series is a line of wind turbine system control and system control component products.

These products are actually manufactured by GE Energy, an alternative energy manufacturing company that exists as a shell company for retailers of the General Electric industrial giant.

This is a revised printed circuit board, modified from its original IS215AEPAH1 parent board by including a single-function revision rated “A”.

This GE Energy Mark VIe Wind Turbine www.ge-drive.com Series PCB can be more accurately defined as an alternative energy power assembly by its functional description.

Hardware Tips and Specifications

This IS215AEPAH1A Alternative Energy Power Assembly may be best understood when its hardware elements are contextualized according to the intended function of this printed circuit board.

The first descriptor for the function of this AEPA-abbreviated product is present in its functional description as an alternative energy power supply assembly.

This functional description happens to be an exact match to the AEPA functional acronym for this product, a rare blessing for a specialized Mark VIe series product.

The series to which this IS215AEPAH1A board belongs actually provides additional insight into the functionality of this product.

Considering the place of the IS215AEPAH1A PCB in the Mark VIe family of wind turbine control systems, it is not surprising that this GE Energy board is dedicated to wind turbine applications.

Now that the functional status of this IS215AEPAH1A PCB as an alternative energy power supply assembly has been described.

Then it is possible to highlight some of the hardware specifications available for this Mark VIe wind turbine series product.

Considering this product’s place in the specialized and recently developed Mark VIe wind turbine family, little original product-specific instruction manual material detailing the hardware of this IS215AEPAH1A PCB exists online.

That said, this initial Mark VIe series label identifies the board as an alternative energy power supply assembly with special component versions.

This IS215 series label has dual naming capabilities for this IS215AEPAH1A product; it also outlines its status as a domestic GE printed circuit board.

The original manufacturing location of this PCB can be traced more specifically to GE’s plant location in Salem, Virginia.

In this IS215AEPAH1A part number, the IS215 series label is followed by an example of the AEPA functional acronym.

It is itself followed by the H1 series grouping label, which, like the IS215 series label mentioned earlier, provides a dual naming convention for this product.

This H1 grouping label indicates that the product is a conformal coated printed circuit board with Mark VIe series grouping.

While the conformal style of PCB coating specific to this power supply assembly is well documented, given its widespread use on General Electric circuit boards, the first Mark VIe grouping of this part is the Mark VIe grouping.

The true meaning of the first set of Mark VIe series alignments for this component has been lost.

The last A digit of the IS215AEPAH1A part number is a reference to a Class A functional revision of this part, which may significantly affect the performance specifications and original measured dimensions of this IS215AEPAH1A product.
