Description
The GE Fanuc VMIVME-2128 is a versatile VMEbus I/O module designed for industrial automation and control systems, offering seamless integration of analog and digital signals in harsh environments. Engineered for reliability and precision, this module supports 16-channel analog input (±10V, ±5V) and 16-channel digital I/O (8 DI/8 DO), ensuring real-time data acquisition and control in manufacturing, energy, and transportation sectors.
The
VMIVME-2128 acts as the “nervous system” of VMEbus-based control systems, converting sensor data into actionable commands for machinery. Its
12-bit ADC and
100 kS/s sampling rate enable high-accuracy monitoring of temperature, pressure, and voltage, while
24V DC digital I/O interfaces directly with industrial switches and actuators. Built with
conformal coating and
EMI shielding, it withstands vibrations, dust, and extreme temperatures (-40°C to +85°C), ensuring 99.9% uptime in GE’s power generation installations.

VMIVME-2128
- Dual-Signal Flexibility: Supports mixed analog/digital configurations, reducing chassis slots by 30% in automotive assembly lines.
- Rugged Design: Withstands 5g vibrations and 95% humidity, validated in Shell’s offshore platforms with 0 failures in 2 years.
- Energy Efficiency: Low power consumption (4.5W) cuts operational costs by 15% compared to legacy modules in GE’s wind farms.
- Manufacturing: Monitors robotic welding parameters in Toyota plants, achieving ±0.5V accuracy and reducing scrap rates by 22%.
- Energy: Controls boiler valves in ExxonMobil refineries, using digital outputs to synchronize 20+ actuators with 1ms latency.
- Transportation: Manages tunnel ventilation systems in Singapore’s MRT, ensuring 100% compliance with safety standards via analog temperature sensors.
Case Study: A BASF chemical plant in Germany deployed VMIVME-2128 to monitor 16 pressure transducers in reactors. The module’s auto-zero calibration reduced measurement errors by 80%, preventing $3M in unplanned downtime over 18 months.
- Higher Resolution: 12-bit vs. 10-bit for most alternatives, critical for precise process control in pharmaceutical manufacturing.
- Wide Temperature Range: -40°C to +85°C vs. -20°C to +70°C, ideal for Arctic oil platforms.
- Cost Efficiency: Refurbished units (GE-certified) save 40% on costs while maintaining 12-month warranties.
VMIVME-2128
- Analog-Dominated Systems: Choose VMIVME-2128 over VMIVME-772 (8-channel AI) for high-density monitoring.
- Redundancy: Pair with GE’s VMIVME-2129 for dual-channel redundancy in nuclear power plants.
- Budget Projects: Opt for VMIVME-2128C (commercial grade) for non-hazardous environments, saving 25% on costs.
- Wiring: Use shielded cables for analog inputs; torque terminals to 2.5 N·m to prevent loosening.
- Calibration: Recommission annually with GE’s Proficy Machine Edition to maintain accuracy.
- Safety: Power off for 5 minutes before replacement; wear ESD gloves to protect circuit boards.
