XYCOM XVME-955 Storage Module 3.5" Floppy Hard Drive
The XYCOM XVME-955 stands out as a high-performance VMEbus board designed specifically for the demanding requirements of the power industry, petrochemical sector, and general automation environments. Engineered with durability and reliability in mind, the XVME-955 delivers exceptional input/output capacity, supporting complex control and monitoring tasks essential to mission-critical applications. Its robust design ensures sustained operation under harsh industrial conditions, offering a mean time between failures (MTBF) that meets the stringent standards expected in these sectors. Technically, the XYCOM XVME-955 features a versatile array of I/O ports that facilitate seamless integration with sensors, actuators, and other control devices. It supports multiple digital and analog inputs and outputs, enabling precise data acquisition and control. The board’s processing capability is optimized to handle real-time automation tasks with minimal latency, ensuring rapid response to system changes. This capability is critical in power plants and petrochemical plants where timing and accuracy can directly impact operational safety and efficiency. Additionally, the XVME-955 incorporates advanced diagnostics and fault-tolerant features, reducing downtime and maintenance costs. In practical applications, the XYCOM XVME-955 excels in environments where reliable automation control is paramount.
In the power industry, it is widely deployed for turbine control, generator protection, and substation automation. Its ability to interface with legacy systems while supporting modern communication protocols makes it invaluable for upgrading existing infrastructure without costly overhauls. In petrochemical plants, the XVME-955 enables precise process control and hazard monitoring, contributing to safer and more efficient operations. For general automation, it serves as a flexible backbone for manufacturing process control, robotics, and environmental monitoring systems, adapting easily to varied industrial setups. When compared to other models in the XYCOM lineup, the XVME-955 distinguishes itself through a balanced combination of input/output density and processing power. For instance, while the XYCOM XVME-401 is known for its specialized analog processing capabilities, the XVME-955 offers broader I/O flexibility and enhanced durability for more diverse applications. Similarly, compared to the XYCOM XVME-505 and XVME-566 models, which cater to niche automation tasks, the XVME-955 provides a more comprehensive solution that supports complex control schemes without sacrificing reliability. The XYCOM 99121-001 and XYCOM 4870, although excellent for specific signal processing roles, do not match the XVME-955’s ruggedness and adaptability in extreme industrial environments.
Alongside the XYCOM XVME-955, we also offer complementary products such as the XYCOM 71100A-001 for high-speed data acquisition, the XYCOM XT1502-BB-RB for enhanced signal conditioning, and the XYCOM VT1040T which excels in thermal management applications. The XYCOM 9485 and XYCOM 8500 serve as reliable power supply modules that ensure stable operation of automation systems incorporating the XVME-955. For expanded communication options, the XYCOM 10330-00800 and XYCOM 99142-025 provide serial and Ethernet interfaces that integrate seamlessly with the XVME-955, facilitating networked control and monitoring. The application of the XYCOM XVME-955 in power industry, petrochemical, and general automation is further supported by XYCOM’s extensive ecosystem of products. For example, the XYCOM 4100-AT2 and XYCOM 97951-025 offer additional input expansion capabilities, allowing system architects to scale automation solutions effectively. The XYCOM 5015T and XYCOM 97958-021 provide ruggedized enclosures and mounting options that complement the XVME-955’s industrial-grade reliability.
In summary, the XYCOM XVME-955 is a premier choice for industrial automation professionals seeking a versatile, durable, and high-capacity VMEbus board. Its robust design, extensive I/O capacity, and real-time processing capabilities make it indispensable in critical sectors such as the power industry and petrochemical plants. Paired with a suite of XYCOM automation products—including the XVME-401, 71100A-001, XT1502-BB-RB, and 9485—the XVME-955 ensures efficient, reliable, and scalable automation solutions. Whether upgrading legacy systems or deploying new automation infrastructure, the XYCOM XVME-955 delivers performance and longevity that meet the rigorous demands of modern industrial environments.
