The VMIVME-9064/32 provides a flexible, compact solution including user-friendly software utilities for the user who requires I/O products coupled with a preprogrammed SBC for effective turnkey operation. It is designed to operate with Abaco Embedded Systems Reflective Memory (RM) products. VMIVME-9064/32 may reside on multiple nodes of a single RM link. Subsystem Description: Abaco provides a complete product line of I/O interface equipment designed specifically for the simulation and training industry. This equipment utilizes state of the art building blocks organized around the VMEbus architecture, that provides a high density, high throughput, low cost solution to the I/O control problem. The real time interface equipment includes an Intelligent I/O Controller (IIOC) (based on the 68040 family of microprocessors) that is designed to operate in parallel with customer-furnished/programmed SBCs and other customer furnished hardware. Abaco’s I/O board-level product line, trademarked BITMODULES, is comprised of digital input/output boards, analog input/output boards, and synchro/resolver input/output boards. Each product is designed with extensive Built-in-Test capability and a front panel Fail LED to enable quick fault detection and isolation. These products support both offline and real time fault detection and isolation. Abaco real time interface equipment supports configuration data, generated by a customer-furnished/ programmed parallel processor(s), that allows user-definable scan lists, data conversion formats, and service order of each I/O type. The system is expandable through the use of building block board-level products. As requirements change, the I/O system can be easily reconfigured. This configuration concept allows independent mapping of I/O points to memory, thus enabling the hardware configuration to change without changing the software interfaces.
The system provides extensive data type and engineering unit conversions. Digitals may be represented as bit, byte, word, or longword logicals. In addition, the host’s definition of logical true may be designated as least significant bit (LSB) on, most significant bit (MSB) on, or all bits on for byte, word, and longword digital points. Analog and synchro values may be represented as host floating-point format or integer numbers. Engineering unit conversions for analogs include: offset binary, scaled, first-, second-, and third-order polynomial, two’s complement integer, sine, cosine, arcsine, arccosine, and table lookup. Engineering unit conversions for synchros include: offset binary, degrees +180 to -180, degrees 0 to 360, scaled, unscaled, and first‑order polynomial. The equipment supports an optional user-friendly CRT-based control panel that allows an engineer or maintenance technician to monitor all I/O points during real time, examine and modify all I/O points in nonreal-time, and initiate and control offline diagnostics. The control panel also provides for the display of the current status of the system, errors found during real time or offline diagnostics, and the current system configuration. The control panel provides a maintenance and test interface that will facilitate integration and checkout of the I/O system independent of other customer-furnished/programmed hardware. The Abaco real time I/O configuration can be organized as a star network, as shown in Figure 1. The central node of the I/O subsystem is the IIOC that is responsible for all communications, CRT control, data format, engineering unit conversion, and communication with the satellite or slave nodes. The slave nodes contain the I/O boards. For small I/O systems (less than 14 boards; approximately 900 digital points), only the IIOC chassis is required. Although this device is designed to support up to 12 slave chassis, typical applications will involve only one to three chassis including the master chassis. Each slave node supports up to 19 I/O boards. Abaco’s high performance VMEbus multidrop repeater link (VMIVME-5504L) provides a 32-bit parallel data path between the IIOC and a slave node up to 1,000 feet from the IIOC, and reduces cable requirements and cost.
