XYCOM XVME-590 Analog Input Module Overview (6U Double-Width)

Basic Type
A VMEbus 6U double-width analog input module compliant with the IEEE 1014 VMEbus specification.

Channel Configuration

• Standard version: 16 single-ended (SE) or 8 differential (DI) analog input channels with 12-bit A/D resolution
• Optional configuration: Expandable to 32 SE or 16 DI channels through programmable gain (PG)

Sampling Performance

• Maximum sampling rate: approximately 100 kHz (similar to the XVME-566)
• Single-channel conversion time: around 25 µs, with some programmable-gain versions achieving 10 µs

Input Range & Gain

• Supports voltage ranges such as 0–10 V, ±5 V, ±10 V
• Gain selectable from 1 to 1000
• Available in three model types: fixed-gain (/1) and programmable-gain (/2, /3)

Memory & Buffering

• 64 KB dual-port sample RAM for high-speed data buffering

I/O Interface

• All analog signals are routed through the rear VMEbus P2 connector, facilitating internal chassis wiring

Power Supply

• Powered by standard VMEbus rails (+5 V, +12 V)
• Power consumption approximately 5 W (varies with gain configuration)

Mechanical Dimensions

• Double-width 6U: approx. 9.2 in × 6.3 in (233 mm × 160 mm)

Reliability & Warranty

• Two-year warranty for parts and labor

Typical Applications

• Industrial process control (temperature, pressure, flow, and other analog signal acquisition)
• High-speed data acquisition and monitoring in automated production lines
• VME systems requiring multi-channel, high-resolution analog input

Summary
The XYCOM XVME-590 is a high-performance 6U double-width analog input module designed for industrial automation. It provides 12-bit resolution, up to 100 kHz sampling rate, supports a large number of channels (up to 32 SE / 16 DI with programmable gain), and includes a large dual-port RAM buffer. It is well-suited for precise, high-speed, multi-channel analog data acquisition in VME systems.
