Configured as a 16-channel, 12-bit single-slot module, this card translates digital parameters from the host processing architecture into discrete analog output voltages natively at the circuit tier. It controls actuators, transducers, and variable-speed drivers parallel to master backplane data cycles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHardware Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cfigure class=\"table\"\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eParameter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecification\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVMIVME-4140\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGE Fanuc \/ VMIC (Abaco Systems)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOrigin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUnited States\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.00 lbs (0.45 kg)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStandard VMEbus single-slot card form factor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNumber of Channels\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16 independent analog output channels\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDAC Resolution\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12 bits per channel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWiring Interface\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDiscrete wire connection configuration\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProduct Lifecycle Status\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDiscontinued by manufacturer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePower Requirements\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFollows standard VMEbus power specifications\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDeterministic Industrial Control \u0026amp; Drive Processing Architecture\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBackplane Bus Communication Velocity and Registration:\u003c\/strong\u003e The VMIVME-4140 interfaces directly with the host VMEbus parallel architecture to execute memory-mapped write routines across its 16 independent channels. By responding directly to hardware-defined slot addressing, the card prevents address arbitration latencies from delaying real-time variable processing outputs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProfinet \/ EtherNet\/IP and Network Token Synchronization:\u003c\/strong\u003e When deployed behind deterministic network gateways, the card converts incoming network parameters into synchronous analog references. The 12-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC) matrix updates field voltages within the millisecond system task loop, maintaining signal alignment over standard industrial operating envelopes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFirmware Flash Compatibility and Digital-to-Analog Integrity:\u003c\/strong\u003e The onboard hardware layout supports stable embedded logic execution to prevent configuration drops. The 12-bit architecture divides the factory-set voltage envelope into 4096 discrete steps, ensuring consistent positioning loops and process-variable tracking for connected hardware control loops.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQ: What specific hardware behaviors manifest if a VMEbus data bus parity error occurs during a write cycle to the VMIVME-4140?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: The board's bus interface logic flags the corrupted transfer, refuses to latch the invalid data into the designated channel register, and trips the system's unmasked bus error (BERR) line. This hardware-tier override prevents corrupted data packets from shifting field actuator positions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQ: Can this 1.00 lbs analog output card be hot-swapped while the VMEbus rack remains energized?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: No. Standard VMEbus architectures do not possess staging pins to handle live insertion or extraction. Removing the module under power can induce transient voltage arcs and signal cross-talk across adjacent backplane traces, risking hardware damage to the 12-bit DACs and freezing execution tracks on parallel CPU nodes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"General Electric","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47699771392190,"sku":"VMIVME-4140","price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0725\/1145\/5422\/files\/screenshot_2026-06-23_17-03-41_7365ad79-6476-4f7b-a5b5-e82ba466b46b.png?v=1782207369","url":"https:\/\/www.autooiltech.com\/ar\/products\/ge-vmivme-4140-analog-output-board","provider":"AutoOilTech Limited","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
