Description
GE Fanuc VMIVME-7807 High-Performance VMEbus Single-Board Computer
The VMIVME-7807 is a 6U VMEbus single-board computer (SBC) designed for industrial automation, aerospace, and defense applications. Manufactured by GE Fanuc (now part of Abaco Systems), this module integrates an Intel Pentium M processor with 1.5 GB DDR SDRAM and 16 GB IDE flash memory, delivering real-time computing power and robust connectivity for mission-critical systems.
1. Product Overview
The VMIVME-7807 serves as a versatile controller for VMEbus systems, supporting 32-bit/64-bit addressing and 40 MB/s data transfer rates. Its Dual Gigabit Ethernet ports, USB 2.0, and RS-232/422/485 serial interfaces enable seamless integration with sensors, actuators, and SCADA systems. With a -40°C to +85°C operating range and IP65-rated enclosure, the module withstands extreme temperatures, vibrations, and EMI in harsh environments like oil refineries and aircraft cockpits.
