1 Product Description
The TVME201 is non-intelligent 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 TVME201 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 Mbytes for each IP module.
Strobe signals of all IP modules are accessible via a 4 pin jumper block on the TVME201. DMA, 32 bit
access and 32 MHz operations are not supported.
For improved EMI protection, four HD50 SCSI-2 type connectors are mounted in the EMI front panel
of the TVME201 and provide access to all IP I/O lines. Status indicators for IP access, +5V and +/-12V
are provided in the front panel.
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 IRQs 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.
