Command List Processing: The VMIVME-9081 IIOCs provide for command list processing to reduce or eliminate host command interaction during real time processing. These command lists are configured after the host has configured all I/O scan lists. Up to three command lists are supported by the host IIOC. These lists contain the scan commands, with associated data transfer addresses that would be utilized during a real time frame. Each command list may contain only one scan command for each of the twelve supported scan list types (that is, primary DO, secondary DO, primary AI, etc.). Each of the configured command lists may be executed with a single command each I/O frame or may be configured with an execution interval which allows the host to command autoscanning of each list at the execution interval provided with the command list configuration data. Command lists may not contain digital input scan commands when VMIVME-1110* digital input boards with the 5ms filter option are present in the IIOC. 3 VMIVME-9081/S Intelligent I/O Controller Physical/Environmental Specifications Altitude: SBC Type: VMIVME-7700 Intel Ultra Low Voltage Celeron SBC Operating: 0 – 10,000 ft (3,000m) CPU Clock Frequency: 650 MHz Storage: 0 – 40,000 ft (12,000m) Shared DRAM Capacity: 16 Mbyte Humidity: Operating: relative humidity 5% to 95%, noncondensing SRAM Capacity with Battery Backup: 128 Kbyte Storage: relative humidity 5% to 95%, noncondensing RS232 Compatible Serial I/O Interface (Z85230 SCC): Two with No. of Slots used: 1 Micro DB9 to Standard DB9 adapter cable VMEbus Interface: Dimensions: 6U (4HP) single slot Eurocard form factor DTB Master: BLT32/BLT64, A32/D32, A24/D32, A16/D32 Height: 9.2 in.

This delay is necessary to preclude erroneous real time data because of filter capacitor discharge/charge time. By placing the transfer DI and scan DI commands at the beginning of the frame, the 10ms may be absorbed by the processing of the other I/O types. GE offers the VMIVME-1111 that allows the use of 5ms filters without any real time input service delay. 2 The VMIVME-2528 board is supported as an output board only. Inputs are not supported. 3 19.2 Kbaud maximum. 5 VMIVME-9081 Intelligent I/O Controller Figure 1.
