XYCOM XVME-404 VME Disc Drive Controller Module Board Card PLC
The XYCOM XVME-404 is a high-performance VME-based module designed to meet the rigorous demands of power industry, petrochemical, and general automation applications. Renowned for its robust input/output capacity, exceptional durability, and reliable performance metrics, the XVME-404 stands out as a versatile solution in the XYCOM automation products lineup. At its core, the XYCOM XVME-404 features an advanced VMEbus interface that supports up to 64 simultaneous input/output channels, enabling seamless data acquisition and real-time control in complex automation environments. Its architecture ensures low latency and high throughput, making it ideal for mission-critical tasks where timing precision and data integrity are paramount. The module’s rugged construction guarantees operational stability even under harsh industrial conditions, withstanding temperature extremes, vibration, and electrical noise typical in petrochemical plants and power generation facilities. The XVME-404’s performance is further enhanced by its comprehensive diagnostic capabilities and error detection protocols, minimizing downtime and maintenance costs. Integrated onboard memory buffers facilitate smooth data handling, while its support for multiple communication standards ensures compatibility with a wide range of equipment and control systems.
This blend of features makes the XYCOM XVME-404 a preferred choice for applications such as turbine monitoring, process control in refineries, and complex automation sequences in manufacturing plants. In real-world scenarios, the XYCOM XVME-404 excels by providing precise control and monitoring in environments where reliability and data accuracy cannot be compromised. For example, in power industry applications, the XVME-404 manages real-time feedback loops and safety interlocks essential for generator control and grid management. In the petrochemical sector, it interfaces with sensors and actuators to optimize processes like distillation and chemical mixing, enhancing efficiency and safety. Its adaptability also extends to general automation tasks, such as assembly line control and robotic system coordination, where consistent performance and rapid response are critical. When compared to other XYCOM products, the XVME-404 offers a unique balance of I/O density and ruggedness. For instance, while the XYCOM XVME-530 and XYCOM XVME-653 provide advanced processing capabilities for computationally intensive applications, the XVME-404’s strength lies in its robust I/O handling and field-ready durability.
Unlike the XYCOM 3115T or XYCOM 4153/C, which are optimized for specialized data acquisition roles, the XVME-404 delivers a more versatile and scalable solution suitable for a broad spectrum of industrial automation challenges. Furthermore, the XVME-404 complements modules like the XYCOM 3515-KPM and XYCOM 3712 KPM by acting as a central hub for I/O management, integrating their sensor inputs and actuator outputs into a unified control framework. Alongside the XYCOM XVME-404, we also offer the XYCOM 9987 and XYCOM 81625DA for enhanced communication and processing support, as well as the XYCOM 9485 and XYCOM XVME-979, which provide specialized interface options for legacy equipment integration. The XYCOM XVME-212 and XYCOM XVME-490/1 serve as excellent companion modules for expanding system capabilities, while the XYCOM 5015 KPMT and XYCOM 9465-KPM extend the range of high-precision measurement tools available within the XYCOM ecosystem. These related models enable system designers to customize their automation architecture precisely, leveraging the strengths of each module to optimize overall performance. In summary, the XYCOM XVME-404 is engineered to deliver reliable, high-capacity input/output performance with the ruggedness required by the power industry, petrochemical, and general automation sectors.
Its ability to integrate seamlessly with other XYCOM automation products ensures flexibility and scalability in complex industrial environments. Whether managing critical power generation controls, optimizing chemical processing, or automating manufacturing workflows, the application of XVME-404 in power industry, petrochemical, and general automation makes it a cornerstone component for modern, efficient, and resilient automation systems.
