Overview
Introduction
Product Features
The VMIVME-4150 is a 12-bit Analog Output Board which provides 12 isolated high
quality 12-bit analog output channels on a single 6U form factor VME board. Each
channel is electrically isolated from all other channels and from the VME. Listed
below are some features of the VMIVME-4150:
• 12 fully isolated analog outputs
• 1,000 Vpk isolation, channel-to-channel and channel-to-bus
• 12-bit resolution
• Bipolar voltage output ranges selectable as ±2.5, ±5,or ±10V
• Unipolar voltage output ranges selectable as 0 to 2.5V, 0 to 5V, or 0 to 10V
• 10mA load capacity for voltage outputs over full ±10 V range
• Available with 4 to 20, 0 to 20, or 5 to 25mA current loop outputs
• 0.05 percent accuracy for voltage outputs, 0.08 percent for current loop outputs
• 4, 8, or 12-channel configurations
• Optical data coupling provides full galvanic isolation
• Static readback data registers simplify program control
• Front panel access for field connections
• Program-controlled connect/disconnect operation of voltage outputs facilitates
system testing

VMIVME-4150 Isolated 12-Channel 12-bit Analog Output Board with Voltage or Current Loop Outputs
Functional Description
The VMIVME-4150 internal organization is illustrated in the functional block diagram
shown in Figure 1. The board will operate with sustained isolation voltages as high as
1,000 Vpk. Bipolar output voltage ranges are selectable as ±2.5, ±5, or ±10V. Unipolar
output voltage ranges are selectable as 0 to 2.5V, 0 to 5V, or 0 to 10V, and full 10mA
loading is supported throughout these ranges. 4, 8, or 12 channel configurations are
available.
Vo lt a ge outputs may be disconnected under program control during system testing,
and are disconnected automatically during reset. Optional current-mode outputs
support applications that require standard 4 to 20, 0 to 20, or 5 to 25mA analog current
loops. Compliance of the current mode outputs is 9V if the loop supply originates on
the board, or 27V with an external loop power supply. A front panel LED (Fail) is
provided. The LED light is ON during system reset and can be turned OFF under user
software control.

Safety Summary
The following general safety precautions must be observed during all phases of the
operation, service and repair of this product. Failure to comply with these precautions
or with specific warnings elsewhere in this manual violates safety standards of
design, manufacture and intended use of this product.
GE Fanuc Embedded Systems assumes no liability for the customer's failure to
comply with these requirements.
Ground the System
To minimize shock hazard, the chassis and system cabinet must be connected to an
electrical ground. A three-conductor AC power cable should be used. The power
cable must either be plugged into an approved three-contact electrical outlet or used
with a three-contact to two-contact adapter with the grounding wire (green) firmly
connected to an electrical ground (safety ground) at the power outlet.
Do Not Operate in an Explosive Atmosphere
Do not operate the system in the presence of flammable gases or fumes. Operation of
any electrical system in such an environment constitutes a definite safety hazard.
Keep Away from Live Circuits
Operating personnel must not remove product covers. Component replacement and
internal adjustments must be made by qualified maintenance personnel. Do not
replace components with power cable connected. Under certain conditions,
dangerous voltages may exist even with the power cable removed. To avoid injuries,
always disconnect power and discharge circuits before touching them.
Do Not Service or Adjust Alone
Do not attempt internal service or adjustment unless another person capable of
rendering first aid and resuscitation is present.
Do Not Substitute Parts or Modify System
Because of the danger of introducing additional hazards, do not install substitute
parts or perform any unauthorized modification to the product. Return the product to
GE Fanuc Embedded Systems for service and repair to ensure that safety features are
maintained.
Dangerous Procedure Warnings
Warnings, such as the example below, precede only potentially dangerous procedures
throughout this manual. Instructions contained in the warnings must be followed.
