VME Bus Board Overview
About VME Bus Boards
MTS VME Bus boards plug into the VME card cage located on the front of a
Series 494 Chassis. VME Bus boards include processor boards and Model 494.40
I/O carrier boards.
Processor board
The chassis requires at least one VME bus processor board. The processor board
provides PIDF processing and an interface between the controller and the
computer workstation.
I/O carrier board
Each I/O carrier board can contain up to four mezzanine cards. You can use
mezzanine cards to condition transducers, drive servovalves, and provide A-to-
D/D-to-A inputs and outputs.
Multiple chassis
If multiple chassis are used, a Model 494.43 Multi Chassis Interface board is
required.
