Product Overview

EVPBDP0001 is VME‑form Profibus‑DP slave communication interface board for GE VME‑based industrial control systems. It establishes Profibus‑DP fieldbus connection between VME host controller and distributed Profibus‑DP remote I/O, drives and field devices. On‑board hardware diagnostics capture bus communication faults for quick troubleshooting. This legacy VME module is out‑of‑production; units available are refurbished and new‑old‑stock spare‑parts for power‑plant turbine‑control system maintenance and retrofit projects.

Application Notes

‑ Designed for VME64 rack chassis; verify mechanical fit and firmware revision before replacement. ‑ Observe ESD anti‑static rules during board installation. ‑ Use standard Profibus‑DP cable and bus terminator at physical bus endpoints. ‑ Typical deployment: power‑plant turbine auxiliary control, heavy‑industry VME‑control‑system spare‑part stocking.
