VMIC (GE Fanuc) VMIVME-3413 – VMEbus analog I/O board for stable, long-life industrial control

The VMIVME-3413 is part of the classic VMIC VMEbus I/O family used in test benches, process control, and motion/drive systems where deterministic response and long-term maintainability matter. From my experience, this model is chosen as a dependable analog I/O workhorse in legacy VME racks—often as a direct replacement board to keep validated systems running without rewriting application code. You might notice that it fits cleanly into 6U VME slots and exposes field connections via the front panel, which makes on-site swap and wiring checks pretty straightforward.

Key Features

• VMEbus 6U form factor
  – Fits standard 6U VME64/VME racks; typically a single-slot card for easy drop-in replacement.
• Stable analog I/O platform
  – Commonly used for voltage or current signal interfacing in process and ATE systems; channel options vary by build.
• Deterministic operation
  – Hardware-timed updates and register-level control mean predictable behavior in real-time loops.
• Front-panel field connectivity
  – Usually via a high-density DIN connector, which simplifies field wiring and loopback testing.
• VME compliance
  – Typical A24 addressing and D16/D32 data widths help preserve software compatibility in existing crates.
• Service-friendly design
  – Onboard calibration and status indicators (varies by revision) make periodic maintenance quicker.
• Long lifecycle support
  – Ideal for sustaining validated platforms where requalification costs outweigh a full redesign.

• VMIVME-3320 – High-resolution analog input board; suited when you need more precise A/D than the 34xx output-focused builds.
• VMIVME-3122 – Analog input module often paired for closed-loop monitoring with 34xx output cards.
• VMIVME-4116 – High-density digital input; useful for interlocks and status collection alongside analog control.
• VMIVME-4132 – Digital output counterpart for driving relays or discrete actuators in the same VME rack.
• Optional field cables and breakout panels (DIN to terminal block) – Eases wiring to PLCs, sensors, and drives.

If you’re replacing a specific VMIVME-3413 option code, send the full part number and board revision. In many cases, pinout and register maps are consistent across revisions, but firmware and calibration details can differ slightly.

Installation & Maintenance

• Cabinet and rack
  – Install in a clean, dry 19-inch VME chassis with adequate forced-air cooling. Keep adjacent slots clear if airflow is marginal.
• Power and grounding
  – Verify backplane +5 V regulation within ±5%. Tie field signal commons to the recommended analog ground point to minimize noise.
• Wiring
  – Use shielded twisted pairs for low-level analog signals; land shields at one end only to avoid ground loops. Observe front-panel connector pinout.
• Safety
  – De-energize the crate before insertion/removal. Observe ESD precautions; handle using the front panel and edges only.
• Calibration
  – Perform annual calibration in most cases; some units support onboard trim or EEPROM-stored constants—document pre/post values.
• Cleaning
  – Light, non-residue compressed air; avoid solvents. Inspect for loose connectors and oxidized contacts.
• Firmware/logic
  – If your application relies on a specific firmware revision, label the card and keep a spare with the same rev to simplify hot-swap.

What customers usually tell me: swap time is short—once the field connector is moved over and the board address matches, systems come back online without code changes. That’s typically the main reason people stick with the 34xx family.

Quality & Certifications

• CE conformity for EMC/Low Voltage (typical for this family)
• UL/CSA safety marking on host chassis and power system (board-level markings may vary by revision)
• ISO 9001 production environment from the manufacturer lineage (VMIC / GE Fanuc / Abaco)
• RoHS status varies by build year; many legacy VME boards are RoHS-exempt. We can check per serial/lot.
• Manufacturer warranty was commonly 12 months; our supplied units carry a 365-day warranty.
