FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION:

DS200VPBLG1AFF is a VME Backplane Board manufactured and designed by General Electric and is part of the LS2100 Innovation Series used in Static Starter Control systems. It is the VME backplane for the J2 and J3 sections of the equipment card cage. The J1 section is a commercially purchased product. The J3 sector offers connections that, due to space limitations, cannot be done on board fronts. Connections to current transformers, interface boards, and a power source are some of them. The ac and dc voltages of the SCR bridge are scaled (attenuated) by the NATO board. As a result, voltage feedback may be processed more precisely. Stab connectors provide options for choosing outputs to the VPBL backplane board.

FUNCTIONAL SPECIFICATIONS:

THE VPBL board is multilayer and the analog and digital power planes are kept separate. There are power distribution and bypass capacitors at each power connection at each slot.

SECTION J2:

• Digital Signal Processor control board with daughterboards in slot J1.
• I/O extender with daughterboards in slot J3 to the right of the DSPC.
• Upto three gate distribution and status boards in slots J5, J7, and J9.

All slots except slot J1, have the slot identification number permanently hardwired at the P2 connector. Only control signals on the digital bus such as the 16Mhz clock signal terminate at the end of slots.

SECTION J3:

The J3 area is used for external connections not on board fronts because of space or other restrictions. These include connections to the current transformers, the associated burden resistors, and the voltage scaling feedback board.

ARCHITECTURE AND COMPONENTS OF VME:

• VME Backplane: The backplane is the core infrastructure that allows multiple boards to communicate and work together efficiently. It includes connectors and pathways for power distribution, data transfer, and signal communication.
• CPU Modules: Central processing units (CPUs) handle the processing tasks and execute control algorithms necessary for gas control.
• I/O Modules: Input/Output (I/O) modules interface with sensors and actuators in the gas control system. These modules collect data from sensors (e.g., pressure, temperature) and control actuators (e.g., valves, pumps).
• Communication Modules: These modules facilitate communication with other systems or remote monitoring stations, ensuring that data and control commands can be transmitted efficiently.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

What is a VME backplane board?

A VME (Versa Module Eurocard) backplane board is a type of hardware used to connect various modules in a control system. It serves as the central platform where CPU, I/O, communication, and safety modules plug in and communicate with each other.

Why is VME technology used in gas control systems?

VME technology is used in gas control systems due to its reliability, robustness, modularity, and scalability. It can handle the precise and real-time control required for managing gas flow, pressure, and safety in industrial and commercial applications.

How does a VME backplane handle communication between modules?

The VME backplane uses a parallel bus system to handle communication. This includes an address bus for memory and I/O device addressing, a data bus for data transfer, and a control bus for coordinating operations and ensuring proper timing.
