The Danaher / Kollmorgen / Motion Engineering DSPro-VME is a board-level motion controller housed in a 6U VME module format, engineered for step motor control via analog control voltage in VMEbus-based industrial automation and robotics systems. The controller integrates memory-mapped communication with host systems and provides configurable interrupt settings to meet demanding motion control requirements.
## Technical Specifications
• **Form Factor:** B-Size 6U VME module
• **Control Architecture:** Step motor control using analog control voltage
• **Communication Interface:** Three words in I/O space accessed through one male DE-9 port and one female DE-9 port
• **Memory Addressing:** Memory-mapped host communication with address windows configured via on-board DIP switches
• **Interrupt Configuration:** Configurable IRQ switch settings
• **Motor Control Outputs:** 26-pin box headers for motor signal access; one header per pair of motor axes
• **Bus Support:** VMEbus standard with support for both full VME (192-pin 3-row backplane) and reduced VME– (49-pin backplane) implementations
## Key Features
• Front panel LED status indicators
• Configurable memory address windows for flexible host integration
• Selectable interrupt levels via DIP switch configuration
• Dual DE-9 communication ports for bidirectional host interface
• Modular motor signal architecture supporting multiple axis pairs
## Typical Applications
Precision motion control in industrial automation systems, multi-axis robotic platforms, and test equipment requiring step motor command and feedback over VMEbus architectures.
## Compatibility & Integration
Designed for VMEbus computer systems operating under either full VME or VME– specifications. Memory-mapped communication enables straightforward integration with standard VME host controllers. Available units typically remain in excellent operational condition; some units may have missing faceplates without impact to functional performance.
