Error management: Utilizing the error detection function of the fiber channel encoder/decoder and additional interleaved parity encoding and checking to detect errors; Assuming a light error rate of 10-12, the error rate of VMIVME-5588 is 1.3 × 10 ^ -10 transmissions, and the undetectable error rate is less than 1.64 × 10 ^ -20 transmissions; If a node detects an error, it will remove the erroneous transmission. If enabled, it will generate a VMEbus interrupt.
Redundant transmission mode: It can work in redundant transmission mode, where each transmission is sent twice, with priority given to the first transmission. If an error occurs, the second transmission is used, and if both transmissions fail, the transmission is removed. In this mode, the probability of both transmissions containing errors is extremely low.
Data protection: After error checking, the received data is placed in the receive FIFO, and after arbitration with VMEbus access, it is written to SRAM and send FIFO; To prevent FIFO overflow in design, a status register bit will be set and an interrupt may be generated when the FIFO is half full. If it exceeds half full, the VMEbus throttling mode will be activated; If the receive FIFO exceeds half full, VME access will be paused.

Features
Overview
The master VMEbus chassis can communicate with multiple slave chassis by using multiple relay links in a star configuration. Any VMEbus host in the host chassis can access (read or write) any slave board in the slave chassis, and only non interrupt slave boards are allowed in the slave chassis. When a VMEbus host (usually a CPU board) addresses any card in the slave chassis, the link between the host chassis and the slave chassis is automatically established. Whenever a host in the main chassis issues a VMEbus read/write cycle, it will be repeated to the slave chassis. If any slave board in the slave chassis responds to the address, data transfer (read or write) will occur between the chassis and a data transfer acknowledgement (DTACK) will be generated to the host (in the main chassis) to complete the cycle.

The program can choose a scanning rate to provide better response for complex output functions, with an output current of 10 mA.
Output related parameters: resolution of 12 bits (per channel S&H), output impedance of 0.1 Ω, total error of 0.05% of full-scale range, and maximum setup time of 1.7 ms to reach 1 LSB.
Refresh update rate: default 550 Hz, fast refresh 1600 Hz (note: output refresh temporarily stops during input analog-to-digital conversion, so the output refresh rate decreases with the increase of analog-to-digital conversion rate. In the worst case scenario of automatic scanning mode, the default refresh rate is 300 Hz, and fast refresh is 900 Hz).
Operation Mode
Automatic scanning mode: Through power on system reset or program selection execution, all channels are continuously scanned, and digital data is stored in 16 16 bit dual port registers. It only needs to be read from the dual port registers without further programming.
Random polling mode: It is necessary to control the program to generate a single transition, and determine whether the transition is completed through the polling transition end status bit.
Scanning polarization mode: Perform a single scan of all channels, and determine whether the scan is complete through the polarization scan end control bit.
Other Features
Board address and VMEbus access
The physical address of the board can be selected through jumper wires on the board, and decoding the VMEbus address lines A06 to A15 is used for board selection.
The address modification bit is selected and decoded through jumper wires, supporting non privileged short I/O, monitoring short I/O, or both. The factory is configured to monitor short I/O.
Data transmission and format
Output data transmission: The data of each analog output channel is directly written to the RAM location dedicated to a specific channel on the board, and then periodically retrieved from the RAM and converted into analog voltage, which is transmitted to one of the 16 output sample and hold buffers.
Analog input format: The analog input is first digitized, and then the 12 bit digital value (D11 to D00) is read from a single storage word position in the channel specific dual port register. In binary complement mode, the high four bits (D15, D14, D13, D12) are read as sign extensions of the 12 bit digital value, otherwise they are read as logical zeros.
Testing and Resetting
Simulated I/O testing mode: Built in testing logic supports testing all active components (including output switches) on the board, supports real-time and offline testing, and utilizes the ADC multiplexer on the board.
Memory testing: Designed with onboard dual port memory, additional operational verification can be performed by performing memory diagnostics.
System reset: Initialize the board to a state where all analog outputs and output connectors (P2) are disconnected through the VMEbus application system reset signal.

working principle
Internal functional structure
Composed of VMEbus interface, channel control, isolated analog output, and DC/DC power converter.
VMEbus interface: Communication with VMEbus is controlled by a single electrically programmable logic device (EPLD). Data and control registers are distributed in three channels to control the EPLD, respond to bus data transmission requests and control data flow, and generate data transmission acknowledgement (DTACK *) after completion of transmission.
Channel control: The data transmission control of the output D/A converter is divided into three identical 4-channel groups, each group is allocated and controlled by an EPLD, supporting optional configurations of 4, 8, or 12 channels. Each channel control EPLD contains four data registers, which receive channel data words from VMEbus and provide independent data serializers for each channel.
analog output channel
Isolation: Each output channel is isolated from VMEbus and all other channels through an isolated DC/DC converter and four optocouplers. The DC/DC converter provides ± 15 VDC isolated power supply, while the optocouplers isolate digital control signals.
Digital to Analog Conversion: A serial digital to analog (D/A) converter receives a 12 bit data word and generates a specific range of output voltage. The output module converts it to a specified voltage or current output according to the configuration.
Voltage and current output: All outputs are factory configured as unipolar voltage, bipolar voltage, or constant current. The voltage output module includes a unity gain buffer and an output switch, while the current output module includes a voltage current converter and a transmission transistor.
DC/DC power converter: Each channel contains a DC/DC converter that obtains isolated ± 15 VDC power from the VMEbus+5 VDC power bus to supply power to the isolated portion of the channel.
Configuration and Installation
Unboxing process
Some components are sensitive to electrostatic discharge, and unused boards should be stored in their original packaging. When placed on the workbench, it is recommended to insert conductive materials underneath. After receiving the goods, it is necessary to check whether there is any transportation damage. If there is, a claim should be made to the carrier and VMIC should be notified. When installing or removing the board, power off and insert the board correctly into the chassis slot.
run setup
The board address and I/O access mode are controlled by replaceable jumpers on the board, including address modifier jumpers (E15), base address selection jumpers (E13, E14, E16), and output range selection jumpers. Different jumper configurations correspond to different functions and parameters.
Bipolar voltage output: It can be configured as 2.5 V, 5 V, or 10 V through user installed jumpers, and different channels correspond to different jumpers and adjustable potentiometers.
Unipolar voltage output: configurable for 0 to 2.5 V, 0 to 5 V, or 0 to 10 V, with corresponding jumpers and adjustment components.
Current loop output: Each channel has jumper wires that can be configured with internal or external power supply, supporting different current ranges.
calibration
Before leaving the factory, it has been fully calibrated. If recalibration is required, digital multimeters, card cages, expansion cards, resistors, and other equipment need to be prepared to calibrate the bipolar voltage output, unipolar voltage output, and current output according to specific steps. After calibration, appropriate sealing agents need to be used to re seal and adjust the components.
I/O cable and front-end panel connector configuration
The front-end input connectors (P3 and P4) are standard ultra small 37 pin female D-shaped connectors with specific pin layouts and assignments, corresponding to different outputs and functions.
Programming
Register Mapping
Communication is carried out through 16 block control, status, data, and identification registers mapped to the A16 short I/O space or standard A24 data space, including board identification registers (BIR), control/status registers (CSR), output data registers (ODR), etc.
Board Identification Register (BIR): Contains the identification code (22 million hexadecimal) of the VMIVME-4150 board, located in the first two words of the board base address, and is read-only.
Control/Status Register (CSR): Provides control and monitoring of board functions, including output enable, output load cycle status, data encoding, self-test LED, etc. Each bit has specific functions.
Output Data Register (ODR): Each of the 12 analog outputs has a dedicated 12 bit output data register that supports read and write operations. The data is transmitted to the output D/A converter in a serial manner.
Reset operation
The system reset operation will reset all read and write registers to zero, causing the board to be in a specific state, such as analog output level, status, data encoding, and front-end panel LED status, all of which will change accordingly.
Analog output control
The output register and data format are controlled by CSR bit D12 and can be in offset binary format or binary complement format. The output range is determined by the jumper on the board, and the voltage output can be controlled by the bit in CSR to determine the connection status with the output connector. The data is transmitted from the output data register to the output D/A converter through an internal output load cycle, during which there is a corresponding busy flag indication.

Programming related
Overview
The ADC board performs memory mapping in the VME short I/O address space, occupying only one word position within the 65535 byte VME short I/O address space. The board address is selected by DIP switches, and the short I/O space is mapped from FF0000 (hexadecimal) to FFFFF (hexadecimal). The ADC data register containing 12 bit converted digital data is a read-only register, while the control status register (CSR) is a read-write register used for board control. Since these two registers use the same address, CSR access and ADC conversion end register access are selected through data bit D15.
Description of Control Status Register (CSR)
The operating mode of the CSR programming selection board, CSR is a 16 bit read-write register. To initiate AD conversion, it is necessary to set data bit D6 in CSR and program data bits DO to D5 and D8 to D14 according to the desired operating mode. Data bit D15 is used to distinguish between two possible read cycles. Writing “0” to CSR can read the converted digital data from the ADC data register, while writing “1” can read CSR.
ADC board reads data format
To read 12 bit converted data, it is necessary to first write the low-level data bit D15 into CSR. The data is only valid when data bit D15 is read as logical ‘0’, and the valid data is included in data bits DO to D11.
