SBS VIPC616 VME-IP Carrier Board

The SBS VIPC616 is a 6U VME IndustryPack (IP) carrier board that provides a flexible platform for VMEbus-based industrial control and data acquisition systems. This carrier board accepts up to four IndustryPack modules, enabling system integrators to customize I/O configurations for specific application requirements.

IndustryPack Compatibility

Each of the four IndustryPack slots supports I/O, ID, memory, and interrupt cycles, allowing the use of a wide range of IP modules including analog I/O, digital I/O, serial communication, and specialty function modules. Front-panel I/O is provided through non-shielded right-angle ribbon connectors, with each slot featuring an active LED indicator for status monitoring.

• Form Factor: 6U VME (single slot)

• IndustryPack Slots: 4 slots for IP modules

• Processor: 32-bit RISC (up to 100 MHz)

• Bus Speed: 32 MHz or 66 MHz

• Supported Functions: I/O, ID, memory, and interrupt cycles per slot

• Power Monitoring: Front-panel indicator with filtered and fused power rails

• Operating Temperature: -20°C to +60°C

• Compliance: VMEbus standard, IndustryPack specification

System Integration

The VIPC616 is designed for use in VMEbus systems as a carrier for IndustryPack modules. It is suitable for industrial automation, robotics control, data acquisition systems, and process control applications. The board supports both single and multiple IP modules, allowing scalable I/O configurations from simple to complex.

Application Domains

Typical applications include DCS systems, robot controllers, large servo systems, and distributed control applications. The VIPC616 is also used in power monitoring, building automation, and specialized data acquisition systems requiring high-performance VME bus connectivity.
