Industrial VME-1486 VMEbus Processor Card Module

Description:

The VME-1486 Processor Card is used in VMEbus-based industrial embedded computing systems as a single-board processor module for real-time control, data acquisition, and system management. It is a 6U VME format CPU board designed for high-reliability operation in legacy and ruggedized industrial computing environments where modular backplane architecture is required. Commonly installed in industrial control cabinets, defense electronics systems, aerospace test equipment, and process automation platforms. Maintenance teams, OEM manufacturers, and system integrators use this part for replacement of failed VME CPU cards, system upgrades, and sustainment of legacy VME-based control systems.

Applications:

The VME-1486 is used in VMEbus industrial computing systems to run control software, manage I/O modules, and coordinate system-level processing in real-time environments. It is commonly applied in aerospace test rigs, military embedded systems, industrial automation controllers, and laboratory instrumentation platforms where long-life, deterministic computing hardware is required.
