Working principle

The XVME-660 processor module serves as the core computing unit in industrial control systems. After the system starts up, the processor first reads the initialization program from the onboard memory to complete the initialization configuration of its own hardware. During operation, data information is continuously received from other modules (such as sensor modules, input modules, etc.) through the VME bus. The processor performs operations, analysis, and processing on these data according to pre written control programs. After processing, the control instructions are sent to the corresponding execution modules (such as output modules, motor drive modules, etc.) through the VME bus, thereby achieving real-time control and monitoring of the entire industrial system. Meanwhile, if expansion devices are connected in the system, the processor can also interact with these devices through PMC expansion slots for data exchange and collaborative work.

Similar model supplement

XVME-674: It is also a VME bus processor module of XYCOM. Compared to XVME-660, there may be differences in processor performance and memory configuration. But it also has VME bus communication function, which may be selected in some industrial projects with slightly lower computational performance requirements but stricter cost control.

Mercury Systems MVME 162-110: This is a VME module produced by third-party vendor Mercury Systems, with 32 channel DIO functionality. Although it differs from the processor module of XVME-660 in terms of core functionality, it can serve as a supplementary module to XVME-660 in terms of VME bus system integration, working together with XVME-660 to provide more comprehensive I/O control functions for industrial control systems.
