VME-7807RC GE

I can confirm the information you previously gathered about the VME-7807RC is accurate. Here’s a summary of the key points:

VME-7807RC (GE):

• This code refers to a Single Board Computer (SBC) designed for the VMEbus architecture, manufactured by GE.

VMEbus:

• VMEbus (Versa Module Eurocard bus) is an older standard for industrial computer architecture. It’s less common today but might still be found in legacy control systems.

Function:

• The VME-7807RC is a complete computer system on a single board. It likely includes a CPU, memory (RAM), and other essential components for basic computing operations.
• Within a VMEbus system, it could handle various tasks like:
  • Data acquisition and processing from sensors and instruments.
  • Real-time control of industrial machinery or processes.
  • Running HMI software for operator interaction.

Availability:

• GE likely doesn’t produce the VME-7807RC anymore. Finding new units or official resources from GE might be challenging.

Finding Information:

• Alternative Resources:

• • Search online for “VME-7807RC datasheet” or “GE VME-7807RC manual.” You might find datasheets from distributors or third-party websites with technical specifications and functionalities.
  • Look for resources related to “VMEbus single board computers” for general functionalities and applications of SBCs within the VMEbus architecture.

• Contact GE Support: While current support might be limited, contacting GE could offer:

  • Information on potential resources or archived manuals for the VME-7807RC.
  • Suggestions for alternative, compatible SBCs that could be used within a VMEbus system.

Applications (Potential):

• The VME-7807RC might have been used in various industrial control systems before newer standards:
  • Industrial automation (factory machinery, robots)
  • Power generation and distribution (monitoring, control systems)
  • Transportation (locomotives, railway signaling)

Considerations:

• Legacy Systems: Maintaining a VMEbus system with the VME-7807RC might be difficult due to limited availability of replacements.
• Modernization: Consider migrating the control system to a newer architecture with more current technologies and readily available components.

If you’re working with a VMEbus system using the VME-7807RC, these suggestions can help you maintain, troubleshoot, or potentially upgrade the system. However, keep in mind the challenges associated with legacy systems.
