GE Fanuc VME-7807RC-420001 VME-7807 Series Single Board Computer

Description

The VME-7807RC-420001 is an industrial VMEbus Single Board Computer (SBC) configured to provide deterministic processing power for embedded control and automation systems. It integrates an onboard Intel Pentium M processor clocked at 1.8 GHz with a 2 MB L2 cache to manage intensive high-speed computation tasks. For system memory, this specific variant features 1 GB of DDR SDRAM acting as the onboard system memory.

The computer architecture facilitates high-bandwidth data transfers through embedded Dual Gigabit Ethernet controllers, establishing reliable real-time communication networks within industrial infrastructures. Built on a standardized VME bus architecture, this module offers robust system compatibility for legacy host platforms requiring hardware integration in defense, aerospace, and critical manufacturing sectors. This specific configuration omits the CompactFlash storage medium and the P0 connector, and operates with standard memory lacking ECC support, while featuring a dedicated 1101.10 front panel configuration and full RoHS compliance.

Features

• Pentium M Engine: Populated with a 1.8 GHz Pentium M processor featuring 2 MB L2 cache for optimized thermal and computing efficiency.
• Synchronous Memory: Outfitted with 1 GB of onboard DDR SDRAM system memory to handle data-intensive operations.
• High-Speed Connectivity: Features Dual Gigabit Ethernet ports to support high-throughput, redundant network communications.

Installation Guidelines

Backplane and Connector Inspection

Before installing the single board computer into the system rack, visually verify that the backplane slots match the pin assignments of the module. Ensure that the absence of the P0 connector aligns with your specific application architecture to prevent interface signal loss or mechanical mismatch.

ESD Protection and Handling

Always use a grounded wrist strap or work on an anti-static mat when handling the printed circuit board assembly. Touch only the front panel or card edges to avoid transferring electrostatic discharge to sensitive onboard semiconductors.

Chassis Ventilation and Cooling

Ensure the system enclosure provides active forced-air ventilation across the VME slots. The high-performance Pentium M processor relies heavily on stable ambient airflow passing through the internal card cage to keep the L2 cache and core silicon temperatures within operational tolerances.

FAQ

Does this specific configuration support localized data storage?

This model does not include a CompactFlash card slot populated on the board, meaning any primary boot sequences or data logging must be executed across the active VMEbus backplane or through network-attached environments.

What is the distinction of the RC suffix in the model code?

The RC suffix indicates that the single board computer is manufactured to meet RoHS compliance standards, indicating the elimination of specific hazardous materials like lead from the solder paths and components.

Can the onboard RAM memory be upgraded beyond the configured capacity?

While the series as a whole can accommodate up to 1.5 GB of total memory using a combination of a 200-pin SODIMM and solder-in memory, this specific hardware configuration is fixed out of factory stock at 1 GB of non-ECC DDR SDRAM.
