Functional Description
IS200VCMIH2CDR is a bus master controller board developed by GE. It is a part of Mark VI control system. The VCMI serves as a pivotal component within the control system architecture, acting as the primary communication link between the controller and the various I/O boards. Additionally, it serves as the interface connecting the control system to the broader system control network, referred to as IONet. Operating as the VME (Versa Module Eurocard) bus master within the control and I/O racks, the VCMI assumes a central role in orchestrating communication and data exchange across the system.
Features
- One of the key responsibilities of the VCMI is the management of identification (ID) for all boards housed within the rack, along with their associated terminal boards. This entails assigning unique identifiers to each board, facilitating seamless recognition and communication within the system. By overseeing the ID assignment process, the VCMI ensures proper coordination and integration of the various components within the control and I/O racks.
- Acts as a conduit for data transmission and control commands between the controller and the I/O boards, enabling real-time monitoring and control of industrial processes. Through efficient data exchange mechanisms, the VCMI facilitates swift and reliable communication, essential for maintaining optimal system performance and responsiveness.
