1 Product Description
The TVME200 is a 6U VMEbus Carrier for up to 4 single-size or two double-size IndustryPack (IP)
modules used to build modular, flexible and cost effective I/O solutions for applications in process
control, medical systems, telecommunication and traffic control.
The TVME200 is designed in accordance to VMEbus Specification ANSI/VITA 1-1994 and the
IndustryPack Logic Interface Specification ANSI/VITA 4-1995. It guarantees compatibility with the wide
range of IndustryPacks in a VMEbus system.
IndustryPack I/O and ID spaces are mapped into the VME A16/D16 space.
IP Memory spaces are mapped into the VME A24 or A32 space. D08 and D16 accesses are
supported. If mapped in the VME A24 space, the size of the required memory space is configurable. In
VME A32 space, there is a fixed space of 8 Mbyte for each IP module.
Strobe signals of all IP modules are accessible via a 4 pin jumper block on the TVME200.
DMA, 32 bit access and 32 MHz operations are not supported.
Four 50 pin, 0.1 inch flat ribbon cable connectors mounted in the front panel of the TVME200 provide
access to all IP I/O lines. Status indicators for IP access, +5V and +/-12V are provided.
A set of 16-position rotary switches allows easy configuration of VME Short I/O and Memory
addresses. Interrupt routing from the IP slots to the VME IRQ’s can be done in two ways:
programmable by software or selection of predefined sets by a rotary switch.
The IP power lines are fuse protected by self healing fuses and RF filtered. The operating temperature
range is -40°C and +85°C.
Additional on the TVME200-20 all I/O lines of ‘IP D’ are routed to VME P2 and 14 user selectable I/O
lines of ‘IP C’ can be routed to VME P2 via a jumper field.
