Elma 9-Slot VME Monolithic Chassis Description

Functions

Facilitates the housing, power distribution, and high-speed VMEbus signal routing for up to nine VMEbus-compliant single-board computers or peripheral cards. It provides a robust, shielded environment, integrated power supply, and cooling infrastructure for reliable operation in industrial and defense embedded computing systems, ensuring interoperability and data integrity across the bus.

Platforms

VME bus architecture supporting 9 expansion slots with monolithic mechanical construction for single-board computer integration, designed for real-time embedded applications requiring deterministic data transfer rates, compatible with 6U VME form factor cards, provides standardized backplane interconnection with P1 and P2 connectors for data, address, and control signal distribution, supports multiple processor architectures including PowerPC, x86, and ARM-based single board computers, features integrated power distribution system with standard VME voltage rails, designed for industrial automation, military defense systems, telecommunications infrastructure, and scientific instrumentation applications requiring high reliability operation in harsh environmental conditions

Applications

A standardized 9-slot rack-mountable enclosure for housing VMEbus form factor electronic modules, providing a structured backplane interface for system expansion. The chassis supports high-speed parallel data communication between installed cards through its passive backplane, and includes integrated power supply, cooling, and electromagnetic shielding. Designed for industrial, military, and scientific computing applications requiring robust environmental performance, modularity, and long lifecycle support. Common implementations include process control systems, data acquisition, signal processing, telecommunications infrastructure, military command systems, and research instrumentation platforms requiring reliable operation in harsh environments.

Accessories

Requires VME64x or VME64 backplane compatible with IEEE 1014/1101.10/1101.11 standards. Supports 6U height VME cards with P1/P2 DIN 41612 96-pin connectors. Rear transition module (RTM) connectors for I/O routing. Accepts plug-in power supplies in standard VME format with 47-pin power connector. Compatible with standard VME front panel handles and injector/ejector latches. Cooling fans require 3-pin or 4-pin Molex connectors.

Interfaces

VME64 connectors with 96-pin DIN 41612 type C connectors (32-bit data/address bus), J1 connector for VME64 standard, J2 connector for VME64 extended functions, power distribution via P1/P2 connectors, front panel access for module installation, rear I/O panel with DB-9, DB-15, or custom I/O connectors depending on installed modules, cooling fan connectors, AC/DC power input connector typically IEC 320 C14, chassis grounding lugs

Specifications

Designed to house and power up to nine VMEbus single-board computers and peripheral modules, this monolithic chassis features a robust metal enclosure with integrated backplane supporting VMEbus communication protocols. It provides standardized connectors for system integration, supports passive or active cooling solutions, and interfaces with external equipment via rear transition modules. Ideal for industrial, military, and aerospace embedded computing applications requiring modular, high-reliability VMEbus systems.
