GE VME7740-841 High-Performance VMEbus Single-Board Computer

Procurement Guidance

  1. Compatibility Notes
    • Valid for VMEbus Rev. C.1 systems; firmware suffixes denote processor variants (e.g., -841 = Pentium III).
    • Backward-compatible with legacy GE VersaPAC/VME systems .
  2. Critical Accessories
    • IC698ACC701 Lithium Battery: Mandatory for RAM backup .
    • Resolver/Encoder Modules (e.g., X6/X12 interfaces) for closed-loop control .
  3. Avoid Mismatches
    • High-channel I/O claims → Use GE VMIVME-5565 series.
    • Core i7 processors → Refer to GE IC698CPE030.
  4. Authenticity Verification
    • Holographic seals on factory-sealed units; 12-month warranty .
    • Cross-check part number 3BHE030579R0003 for industrial-grade variants .
