2、 Technical features and functions
Analog output function:
When used as an analog output circuit board, VMIVME-4140 provides 32 high-quality analog output channels with 12 bit resolution.
Each channel can output or absorb 10mA current at ± 10V voltage, and each output channel is equipped with a dedicated D/A converter (DAC).
The analog output can be disconnected from the on-site wiring for offline testing.
Control pulse function:
As a control pulse card module, VMIVME-4140 has a pulse generation function for controlling the position and speed of motion equipment.
It also supports encoder interfaces for communicating with encoder devices and providing accurate position feedback.
The multi axis control function allows for the simultaneous control of multiple motion axes, meeting the requirements of complex motion control.
Programmable limit switch function:
Under the configuration of programmable limit switch module, VMIVME-4140 combines independent rotary transformer technology and PLC communication to provide absolute position, tachometer, and fault diagnosis data.
It also supports linear displacement sensor interfaces, providing direct connections for most sensors that output SSI data.
Self inspection and calibration:
VMIVME-4140 has a self check function, which automatically runs a self check after the system is reset. The self check register displays success or failure, and can also display the channel where the fault occurred.
Automatic calibration can be initiated through reset or software commands, and the embedded DSP will load the calibration output values into each output DAC to ensure output accuracy.
Communication and Interface:
VMIVME-4140 supports multiple communication interfaces, such as Ethernet, serial port, etc., making it easy to connect with other devices or networks.
It also provides rich input and output interfaces to adapt to different types of sensors, devices, and external systems.
