The VMIVME-4116 is a 16-channel precision analog output module designed for VMEbus architectures from Abaco Systems (formerly GE Fanuc).
It converts digital control commands into 16 independent analog output signals, making it widely used in legacy industrial control, simulation, and aerospace test environments. The module features 16-bit high-resolution DACs, onboard voltage references, and optical isolation to protect VME backplane logic from field-side electrical noise.

The module is especially useful in environments requiring accurate analog reproduction of digital signals in older infrastructure.
Q1: Is it compatible with modern VME controllers?
Yes. It follows IEEE-1014 VMEbus standards and can operate in most 6U VME chassis with proper driver mapping in RTOS environments.
Q2: How is the output range configured?
Output ranges are configured using PCB jumper settings and should be preset before installation into a powered backplane.
