November 11, 2005 800-5531-000 D A B C D E F The link between the primary chassis and secondary chassis is VMIVME-5531L – automatically established when a VMEbus master (typically a A = CPU board) addresses any board in the secondary chassis. 0 = 6U Slave Any time a master in the primary chassis issues a VMEbus 1 = 3U Slave BC= read/write cycle it will be repeated to the secondary chassis. If a 00 = Not Used 09 = 1,000 ft (304.8m) slave board in any secondary chassis responds to that address, 01 = 5 ft (1.5m) 10 = 1,500 ft (457.3m) the data transfer (read or write) will occur between the chassis 02 = 25 ft (7.6m) 11 = 2,000 ft (609.7m) and a Data Transfer Acknowledge (DTACK) will be generated to 03 = 50 ft (15.2m) 12 = 2,460 ft (750.0m) the master (in primary chassis) to complete the cycle. 04 = 100 ft (30.4m) 13 = 3,280 ft (1,000m) 05 = 150 ft (45.7m) 14 = 4,100 ft (1,250m) A link consists of two boards (VMIVME-5531M and 06 = 200 ft (60.9m) 15 = 4,920 ft (1,500m) VMIVME-5531S) and two cables which enable a VMEbus system 07 = 350 ft (106.7m) 16 = 5,740 ft (1,750m) 08 = 500 ft (152.4m) 17 = 6,560 ft (2,000m) to be expanded beyond a single chassis.

The Repeater Link is a two-board Cable Specifications set which allows VMEbus slave I/O boards residing in one VMEbus chassis to be controlled by a VMEbus master residing in Mode: Multi another chassis. The VMEbus chassis in which VMEbus masters Length: 5 to 6,560 ft (1.5 to 2,000m) reside is referred to as a primary chassis, while the VMEbus slave boards reside in a secondary chassis. The two-board set is Fiber Size: 62.5 micron configured as shown in Figure 1 with one board designated for the primary chassis while the other board is designated for the secondary chassis. A master VMEbus chassis can communicate 1 3U Slave repeats A1 to A23, D0 to D15, DS0*, DS1*,WRITE*, SYSRESET*, with several secondary chassis by using multiple REPEATER AM2, AM4, AM5, and LWORD* Links in a star configuration as shown in Figure 2. 2 The following signals are regenerated at the secondary chassis instead of The link is software transparent.
