GE VMER64 Memory Extension Board

The GE VMER64, also cataloged as the VMER64 Memory Extension Board, operates as a dedicated hardware component for high-velocity data buffering, localized volatile storage expansion, and real-time processing within VME64-compliant industrial automation and turbine control systems. The chassis-mounted sub-assembly scales system memory density natively at the hardware tier to optimize data logging and packet processing across modular automation networks.

Hardware Specifications

Industrial Control & Drive Communications

• Backplane Bus Communication Velocity and Memory Expansion The board interfaces directly with the master VME64 backplane parallel bus matrix, executing high-speed, multi-byte data transfer cycles. By adding volatile storage tracks directly onto the localized CPU processing bus, the module expands the available memory workspace, allowing host processors to handle extensive data logging profiles without inducing communication bottle-necks or software loop jitter.
• I/O Density Scaling and Mezzanine Module Integration The physical architecture features dual PCI Mezzanine Card (PMC) slots, supporting up to two single-width PMC daughterboards or one double-width PMC card. This hardware expansion layout enables operators to integrate specialized communication nodes, network transceivers, or auxiliary high-density I/O channels directly onto the VMER64 baseboard substrate, consolidating network routing while conserving active VME chassis slots.
