Description

Product Name ：VMIC 7697-550 GE Input module

Product details:

The GE Fanuc / VMIC VMIVME-7697-550 (also referenced under Abaco Systems) is a high-performance VMEbus Single Board Computer (SBC) designed for demanding industrial automation, embedded control systems, military applications, and complex instrumentation.

The -550 suffix indicates a specific hardware configuration powered by an Intel Pentium III processor operating at 550 MHz with 256 KB Advanced Transfer Cache (ATC) integrated directly on the die. Built on standard VME64 architecture, this dual-slot VME module offers complete PC/AT platform compatibility inside a rugged VMEbus chassis.

 

Key Technical Specifications

Specification Category Details & Capability
Processor Intel Pentium III @ 550 MHz (with MMX and SIMD extensions)
Cache Memory 256 KB L2 Advanced Transfer Cache (ATC) on processor die
System Memory (RAM) Up to 512 MB SDRAM via 144-pin SODIMM sockets
VMEbus Compliance VME64 compliance: A32/A24/D32/D16/D08(EO)/MBLT64/BLT32 modes
Flash Memory Bootable secondary IDE Flash memory support (8 MB to 192 MB optional)
SRAM Memory 128 KB battery-backed non-volatile SRAM
Graphics / Video 64-bit AGP SVGA graphics controller with 4 MB SGRAM
Expansion Capabilities Onboard PMC mezzanine expansion site (IEEE-P1386 standard)
Network & Connectivity Intel 21143 Fast Ethernet Controller (10BaseT / 100BaseTX via RJ45)
Front Panel I/O 1x USB host, 2x RS-232 serial ports (16550 DB-9), 1x EPP/ECP parallel port, PS/2 keyboard/mouse ports, VGA connector
Backplane I/O (P2) Ultra-DMA-33 IDE, floppy drive interface, PCI Fast/Wide SCSI-2 support
Timers & Watchdog 3x software-programmable 32-bit timers; software-selectable watchdog timer

 

Product Advantages

  1. Patented Endian Conversion: Integrates hardware real-time endian conversion (Patent No. 6,032,212) to seamlessly bridge standard PC little-endian architecture with VMEbus big-endian environments.
  2. High System Reliability: Features passive heat sink cooling (reducing moving fan failure points), a software-controlled watchdog timer, non-volatile SRAM, and enhanced bus error handling for harsh industrial settings.
  3. Versatile Boot Options: Supports remote network booting via BootWare (TCP/IP, NetWare, RPL), standard IDE booting, and SSD boot capability using onboard Flash memory.
  4. Expandability: Features a 32-bit PMC site for field modifications, allowing custom add-ons like high-speed communication interfaces or extra fieldbus controllers.
  5. Broad OS Compatibility: Fully supports real-time operating systems (RTOS) like VxWorks and QNX, as well as legacy systems like Windows NT/2000 and Linux.

 

Important Precautions & Usage Guidelines

  • ESD Protection: Always handle the board inside an Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) protected zone. Static charges can damage sensitive IC components and PMC cards.
  • Slot Alignment & Powering Down: Never insert or pull the SBC while the VME chassis is powered on (Hot-swapping is not supported). Power off the system entirely before inserting into the VME slot.
  • Cooling & Thermal Management: Although the module utilizes a passive heat sink, adequate forced airflow must be provided through the VME chassis fans to prevent thermal throttling or overheating of the 550 MHz Pentium III processor.
  • SCSI Termination: If utilizing the backplane SCSI interface (P2), ensure proper SCSI terminator cards (such as GE/VMIC VMIACC-0561) are installed at the system endpoints.
  • Watchdog Configuration: Verify jumper settings for the watchdog timer. Improper configurations can trigger unexpected hardware system resets or SYSFAIL flags on the VME bus.

 

Typical Applications

  • Industrial Automation & Control: Used as a central compute node in large PLC networks, supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA), and heavy manufacturing facilities.
  • Military & Defense Systems: Deployed in retrofitted defense systems, radar signal processing units, and military vehicle electronics needing standard VME form factors.
  • Transportation Systems: Train control management systems, wayside monitoring equipment, and flight control simulators.
  • Power & Utilities: Real-time data acquisition, monitoring, and grid switching control in sub-stations and energy plants.
  • Scientific Research: Particle accelerator control systems, telemetry, and laboratory instrumentation rigs.
