VMIVME-4116 | GE Fanuc High-Precision Analog Output Card

Description / Overview

The GE Fanuc VMIVME-4116 is a high-performance Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) board designed for precision analog output in industrial and embedded control systems. Featuring eight independent 16-bit channels, it provides smooth and accurate analog signal generation for automation, simulation, and testing applications.

Engineered for seamless VMEbus integration, the VMIVME-4116 offers high-speed data throughput and low-latency updates, ensuring synchronized performance across multiple control channels. Each output is double-buffered to reduce delay, while JFET output isolation enhances signal stability and prevents crosstalk in high-noise environments.

Moreover, the module includes built-in self-test hardware that enables quick diagnostics without external instruments—ideal for environments requiring high reliability and uptime.
