GE Fanuc Automation VMIVME-7750 Specifications

accessing the advanced VMEbus Access architecture of the

VMIVME-7750. Running on Windows XP/Windows 2000. VMEbus

Access is both sophisticated and easy to use.

The function library, VMEbus toolset and open architecture

VMEbus Access offers make it one of the most powerful

products on the market today. It provides compatibility with

existing GE Fanuc Embedded Systems VME PC platforms and

compatibility within the future VME PC platforms GE Fanuc

Embedded Systems creates.

The VMEbus Access development package gives you everything

you need to develop applications for your VME operations. This

package includes the VMEmanager™ function library and four

utilities that enable you to easily configure a VMEbus,

dynamically monitor VMEbus activities, manage VMEbus data,

and use DDE-client applications.

VMEbus Access provides powerful tools for developing,

debugging and monitoring VMEbus applications and increasing

VMEbus performance. The flexible design of VMEbus Access

enables you to incorporate it as a standalone solution or use it

to open your VMEbus operations to the IOWorks product suite.

VMEbus Access manipulates the hardware behind the scenes.

With VMEbus Access, you can develop applications in or use

existing applications developed in most programming

environments. For example, VMEbus Access enables your

VMEbus to recognize applications developed in these popular

programming environments:

• IOWorks Manager™

• LabVIEW

• Citect

• Wonderware InTouch

• Visual IOWorks®

•

• Visual Basic®

Visual C++®

VxWorks OS Support — VMISFT-7418 Board Support Package:

The VMISFT-7418 is a Wind River Systems, Inc.’s certified board

support package (BSP) for GE Fanuc Embedded Systems’ series

of VME Pentium processor-based computers, which is require

to run the VxWorks OS. With the SBC, VxWorks, the BSP, and

other VME equipment from GE Fanuc Embedded Syste

implementations can be created for a wide variety of

applications, including real time factory automation, sim

The BSP is linked with VxWorks OS, thus allowing soft

applications created with Wind River Systems, Inc.’s

development system to load and run on the particular GE Fa

Embedded Systems SBC hardware being used. Serial po

parallel ports, keyboard, text mode video, and Ethernet

transceivers are all supported, as well as floppy and IDE hard

disk drives that can be connected to the computer bo

BSP provides Flash boot, NVRAM and timer support.

The BSP allows VxWorks applications to have access to th

VMEbus. When hardware includes single cycle and block

transfers using DMA devices, they are supported by the BSP,

are interprocessor communications with mailbox registers.

VMEbus interrupt handling and error handling are supported

Since the VMEbus environment often contains a mixture of

devices from various manufacturers, the byte-swapping fea

is provided to allow bi

share data correctly.

QNX OS Support — VMISFT-7417 Board Support Package:

VMISFT-7417 BSP provides QNX support and includes a VMEb

manager, user API and configuration files needed to run the

QNX BSP on GE Fanuc Embedded Systems’ VMIVME-7xxx SBC

products. This BSP provides customizable VMEbus access. Usin

the QNX OS on the VMIVME-7xxx SBCs provides a computing

platform suitable for real time applications. QNX provides the

applications programmer with a real time extensible POSIX OS.

GE Fanuc Embedded Systems’ VMISFT-7417 is designed to tailo

QNX’s x86 OS to the VMIVME-7xxx platform. This combination

provides a self-hosted development environment which runs

entirely on the VMIVME

external host systems.

Solaris OS Support — VMISFT-7416 Board Support Packa

VMISFT-7416 BSP includes everything necessary to allow

installation of the Solaris Intel edition OS (available separately

from Sun Microsystems, Inc.) onto the VMIVME-7750 SBC. This

BSP includes a nexus driver for VMEbus access. It allows m

and telecommunications and other applications to take

advantage of Sun Microsystems, Inc.’s Solaris OS on a VME

based Intel SBC. This BSP and the Sol

compliant real time characteristics.

LynxOS x86 OS Support — VMISFT-7419 Board Support

Package: The VMISFT-7419 BSP includes all of the device dr

and configuration tables needed to install the LynxOS x86

development system (available separately from Lynx Real-Time

Systems, Inc.) onto GE Fanuc Embedded Systems VMIVME-7750.

Using the LynxOS on the GE Fanuc Embedded Systems SBC

provides a computing platform suitable for hard real time

applications. LynxOS provides the applications programmer

with a stable development environm

standards such as POSIX and Motif.

I/O Support  — VMISFT-9450 IOWorks Board Drivers: This

driver supports GE Fanuc Embedded Systems’ extensive line o

VME I/O boards and is available for Windows XP/Windows 2000
