System compatibility
XVME-973/1 belongs to XYCOM XVME series storage drive adapter module.
It works together with XVME-653,XVME-654,XVME-658 VME CPU boards.
Compatible with turbine,compressor and legacy DCS control systems via VME bus.
Commonly used for power plant,oil & gas,petrochemical old equipment maintenance and spare replacement.
Function
VME chassis rear storage drive adapter for XYCOM XVME series CPU.
Route IDE hard disk and floppy drive signals through VME P2 backplane.
Support 2.5/3.5 inch IDE hard disk and floppy disk connection.
Realize external storage expansion for matched XVME CPU board.
Transmit storage signals between CPU P2 port and external disk drives.
Onboard signal buffer circuit for stable transmission in industrial environment.
Support hardware drive identification and PIO mode configuration.
Installation
Power off VME chassis.
Insert XVME-973/1 card into empty 6U single-height VME slot,tighten front panel fixing screw.
Connect P2 connector to VME backplane P2 channel.
Connect IDE hard disk and floppy drive cables to corresponding ports on the board.
Power on chassis,enter BIOS to identify connected storage devices.
Interface
VME P2 backplane connector,IDE interface ports,floppy interface ports,LED indicators.
Feature
6U single slot VME storage adapter board,XYCOM XVME series.
Multiple IDE and floppy interfaces,support 2.5 and 3.5 inch disk.
Signal transmission via VME P2 backplane,match XVME-653/654/658 CPU.
Drive power is supplied separately,the board does not provide drive power.
Discontinued obsolete VME module,supply only for old production system spare replacement.
Vibration resistant PCB design,suitable for turbine control cabinet.
Diagnostic
LED alarm on:signal line fault,P2 backplane poor contact;
Hard disk cannot be recognized:check IDE cable,drive power and BIOS PIO setting;
Floppy drive no response:confirm only one floppy port(P3/P5) is used,check cable connection;
VME communication failure:check P2 backplane contact and paired CPU configuration.
Product Brief
XYCOM XVME-973/1 is legacy VMEbus 6U storage drive adapter module for XVME-653/654/658 CPU boards.
It provides IDE hard disk and floppy drive expansion,widely used as spare part for turbine and compressor control,petrochemical and power plant old DCS renovation.
