Xycom XVME 401
The Xycom XVME-401 is a VMEbus (VME 64x) module from Xycom, part of the XVME product series. Equipped with four RS-422A/RS-485 serial communication interfaces, it is specifically designed for industrial automation systems requiring high-speed, reliable serial communication. The module can be directly inserted into a VME backplane and connected to a host computer or controller via the VME bus.
Key Specifications
- Number of Interfaces: 4-channel RS-422A/RS-485
- Bus Standard: VME 64x (VMEbus compatible)
- Operating Voltage: +5V (powered by VME bus)
- Operating Temperature Range: -20℃ to +70℃
- Dimensions: VME standard slot size (approximately 6U height)
- Protection Class: IP65 (dustproof and waterproof)
Product Features
- High-Speed Serial Communication: Supports full-duplex RS-422A and half-duplex RS-485, meeting the high-speed data transmission requirements of industrial sites.
- Modular Design: Hot-swappable for quick on-site replacement or expansion.
- High Reliability: Adopts industrial-grade components with strong anti-interference capabilities, suitable for harsh environments.
- Excellent Compatibility: Complies with the VME 64x standard, enabling seamless integration with various VME controllers.
Structure and Composition
- Power Module: Obtains 5V power from the VME bus and provides voltage regulation.
- Communication Interface Board: Features four RS-422A/RS-485 interfaces with LED indicators for status monitoring.
- Processor/Control Chip: Responsible for protocol conversion and data buffering.
- Heat Dissipation Device: Metal heat sink ensures reliable operation in high-temperature environments.
- Enclosure: Metal chassis conforming to VME slot dimensions, providing mechanical protection and EMI shielding.
Typical Application Fields
- Data Acquisition and Monitoring Systems
- Industrial Control and Automation Test Equipment
- Fieldbus Gateways (e.g., Modbus, Profibus)
- Machine Vision and Robot Control Systems
- Industrial Network Nodes Requiring High-Speed Serial Communication
Installation and Maintenance Guidelines
Installation
- Insert the XVME-401 into a VME 64x-compliant slot and ensure the slot latch is securely locked.
- Pay attention to polarity when connecting RS-422A/RS-485 cables; use shielded cables to reduce interference.
Power Check
Verify that the VME backplane power supply is normal before powering on to avoid overvoltage or undervoltage.
Hot-Swapping
Hot-swapping is supported, but it is recommended to perform the operation when the system is idle or after completing software and hardware preparations to prevent data loss.
Regular Inspection
- Check the status of interface LED indicators, whether the heat sink is dusty, and if the slot connection is secure.
- Clean and re-tighten components as necessary.
Troubleshooting
- Quickly determine communication status through LED indicators.
- In case of abnormalities, use an oscilloscope or protocol analyzer to check RS-422A/RS-485 signal waveforms.
