XYCOM XVME-400 70400-001 card
Overview
The Xycom Automation XVME-400 and XVME-401 Quad Serial I/O Modules are single-high, single-wide VMEbus modules that provide a VMEbus system with four serial communication channels.
The XVME-400 and XVME-401 differ only in their communication interface: the XVME-400 provides four RS-232C serial ports, while the XVME-401 provides four RS-422A/RS-485 serial ports.
Both modules contain two Z8530 Serial Communica tion Controller (SCC) chips which provide a variety of communication modes, including asynchronous, byte synchronous, and bit-oriented protocols.
Each channel is independently programmable and has its own baud rate generator and modem signal controls.
The VMEbus interface directly maps the Z8530 SCC chips into the short I/O address space, starting on a jumper-selected 1 Kbyte boundary.
The modules can also be jumpered to generate an interrupt on any of the seven VMEbus interrupt levels.
The two Z8530 SCC chips can generate a total of 16 different interrupt vectors.
For applications not allowing I/O to be routed out the front panel, the XVME-490 and XVME-491 offer the same functionality as the XVME-400 and XVME-401.
In a 6U form factor, the I/O is routed via the VMEbus P2 connector on the back of the board

Product Overview
XYCOM XVME-400 70400-001 card is a high-performance board designed based on the VMEbus architecture, specifically designed for industrial automation control systems, data acquisition systems, and complex industrial monitoring scenarios. It highly integrates multiple functions, efficiently processes various types of data, accurately controls equipment operation, plays a key role in industrial production processes, and helps improve production efficiency and product quality.
Precautions
Installation environment: The card should be installed in a dry, well ventilated, and dust-free environment, avoiding installation in places with corrosive gases, large amounts of dust or water vapor, to prevent electronic components from being corroded or damaged. At the same time, ensure that the installation location has good heat dissipation conditions to avoid affecting the performance and lifespan of the card due to high temperatures. The installation process must be operated according to the requirements of the installation manual, ensuring that the card is tightly connected to the slot to prevent poor contact from causing equipment failure.
Static protection: When installing, disassembling, or maintaining the card, operators must wear protective equipment such as anti-static wristbands to avoid damage to the precision electronic components on the card caused by human static electricity. Try to avoid direct contact with electronic components and circuits during the operation process. If contact is necessary, release static electricity from the body first.
Power management: Strictly supply power within the working voltage range specified by the card to ensure power stability and purity. Using inferior or non compliant power sources may cause the card to malfunction or even damage the board. It is recommended to equip dedicated power filters and voltage stabilizing devices to reduce the impact of power fluctuations and interference on the card.
Software operation: When performing software operations such as program downloads and parameter settings, it is necessary to follow the steps in the operation manual to avoid program errors or system failures caused by improper operation. Before updating software versions, it is recommended to back up important data and programs to prevent data loss. At the same time, regularly maintain and update the software system of the card to achieve better performance and security.
