GE VMIVME-4140-000000 32-Channel VME Analog-Output Board

Ø Product Positioning
Pack 32 × 12-bit synchronized analog outputs into a single 6U VME slot. Eliminate the “not-enough-channels” bottleneck in multi-axis servos, hydraulic loops and HIL rigs; plug into any VME64x backplane and run.

Ø Performance at a Glance
1.Channels: 32

2.Resolution: 12-bit monotonic
3.Update: Hardware-triggered simultaneous refresh, zero inter-channel skew
4.Settling: 25 µs to ±1 LSB
5.Ranges: ±5 V, ±10 V, 0-20 mA, 4-20 mA – software-selectable
6.Isolation: 500 V DC group-to-system
7.Temperature: –40 °C … +85 °C (conformal-coat option)

Ø Mechanics & Power
1.Size: 160 mm × 100 mm × 20 mm PCB (6U single-slot)
2.Power: typ. 9 W, max. 15 W (+5 V @ 3 A, +12 V @ 200 mA)
3.Front connector: 96-pin DIN-41612 with ejector lever; rear-transition module (RTM) available

Ø Compliance & Quality
1.CE, RoHS, IEC 61010-1, IEC 61326-3-1
2.MTBF > 300 000 h @ 40 °C (MIL-HDBK-217F, Ground Fixed)
3.100 % AOI + 4 h 60 °C burn-in; shipped with calibration certificate and ±1 LSB linearity report

Ø Field-Proven Use-Cases
1.Wind-turbine pitch: one VMIVME-4140 drives 32 proportional valves, replacing four 8-ch boards and freeing three VME slots
2.Steel rolling mill: gap set-points for seven finishing stands refreshed simultaneously; strip-thickness tolerance <25 µm
3.Engine HIL: 32 pressure/temperature set-points updated at 40 kHz per channel, round-trip latency <200 µs
4.Naval simulation: six-month continuous run at –40 °C outdoor site with zero drift
