Combo Interface Ethernet / CAN-bus / RS232

WIENER VME / VME64x / VXI crates of the 6021 / 6023 series as well as PL500 power supplies can be equipped with interfaces for remote monitoring and control. The combo interface provides ethernet, CAN-bus and RS232 ports. In future NIM / CAMAC crates with PS236 power supplies will allow this option too.

All ports are outfitted with 4 x RJ45 connectors (1 x Ethernet, 2 x CAN, 1 x RS232, pin-layout) in order to allow use of standard network cables. All interface parameters can be programmed via the front panel of the crate / power supply.

Ethernet Features

CAN-bus Features

Allows integration into CAN fieldbus system. Up to 126 crates can be controlled within a network. In addition to the remote on/off and SYSRES (VME) the user can control and program remotely every crate parameter via the interface as (* depend on power supply type):

• Crate Identification
• All voltages and currents, Over- undervoltage trip off points (*)
• Current limit adjustment to lower levels than 100%, i.g. for module test procedures (*)
• Temperature measurements of air inlet and above modules (up to 8 sensors for the VME 6000 crate series possible) 
• All status signals, error messages 
• Average speed and individual speed of every single fan
• Configuration and adjustment (*)

Combi Interface with USB, alternative RS232 Features

all in one interface:  1 x Ethernet, 2 x CAN, with RJ 43 connectors and 1 x USB  configuration-interface with type B connector

or alternatively

instead of USB a TELNET port which can be used as an additional connection to the RS232-port of a VME CPU with TELNET protocol in order to monitor boot messages and have BIOS access, outfitted with RJ 43 connector,
