VMEEurocardModule

VMEEurocardModule refers to a type of printed circuit board conforming to both the VMEbus standard and the Eurocard form factor. The VMEbus is a popular parallel bus standard used for industrial, scientific, and embedded computing applications. It is known for its robustness and extensive ecosystem of hardware and software. The Eurocard standard defines the physical dimensions and connector types for modular electronic systems.

Eurocards are typically available in two main widths: 3U (100 mm high) and 6U (233.35 mm high). The depth is standardized at 160 mm. VMEbus systems often utilize 3U or 6U Eurocard modules. These modules plug into a backplane that provides the VMEbus interconnect. Each module typically contains specific functionality, such as a processor, memory, input/output interfaces, or specialized peripherals.

The combination of VMEbus and Eurocard offers a modular and expandable approach to system design. This allows users to configure systems with the precise components needed for their application. The VMEbus standard ensures interoperability between modules from different manufacturers, and the Eurocard form factor provides a standardized mechanical structure for mounting and connecting these modules. This has made VME Eurocard Modules a prevalent choice in demanding environments where reliability and flexibility are paramount.
