Xycom XVME – 979 Mass Storage Module Product Description
Product Overview
The Xycom XVME – 979 is a high – performance mass storage module engineered to meet the demanding storage needs within VMEbus – based industrial control systems. This module is a crucial component for applications where seamless integration of storage devices such as CD – ROMs, hard disk drives (HDDs), and floppy disk drives (FDDs) is essential.
Falling within Xycom’s XVME product series, the XVME – 979 plays a pivotal role in industrial automation setups. It provides an efficient way to add storage capabilities to VMEbus systems, which are widely used in industries like manufacturing, transportation, and power generation. For instance, in a manufacturing plant, the XVME – 979 can store critical software for controlling automated machinery, as well as log data from various sensors for later analysis.
What makes the Xycom XVME – 979 valuable is its versatility and compact design. It occupies only one double – high (6U) VMEbus slot, yet it can support multiple storage devices simultaneously. This not only saves valuable space in the control cabinet but also simplifies the overall system architecture. Hainan Jinlin Electromechanical, with its in – depth industry knowledge, offers the Xycom XVME – 979 to customers, providing pre – sales technical advice to ensure it is the right fit for their automation requirements and post – sales support to guarantee smooth operation.

Key Features and Benefits
High – Speed Data Transfer
The Xycom XVME – 979 offers an impressive data transfer rate of 16.6 MB/sec as standard in PIO 0 mode 4 and DMA mode 2, with the capability to reach up to 33.3 MB/sec. This high – speed transfer ensures that data can be quickly read from or written to the storage devices. For example, when loading large software programs or retrieving vast amounts of historical data for analysis, the fast transfer rate significantly reduces the waiting time, enhancing overall system efficiency.
Multiple Storage Device Support
This module is designed to support a wide range of storage devices. It can accommodate a 24x CD – ROM drive or a CD – R/W drive, an 80GB hard drive (in some versions), and has provisions for an external floppy drive. The ability to support multiple device types makes it suitable for various applications. In an industrial setting, it can be used to store and run software from a CD – ROM, while also logging real – time data onto the hard drive.
Compact and Space – Saving Design
Occupying only one double – high (6U) VMEbus slot, the XVME – 979 is a space – saving solution. In industrial control cabinets where space is often at a premium, this compact design allows for more components to be integrated into the system without the need for a larger cabinet. Additionally, the cabling in the backplane is easily removable, which simplifies installation and maintenance.
Compatibility and Easy Integration
The Xycom XVME – 979 is highly compatible with Xycom’s VMEbus PC/AT processor modules. It easily plugs into the VMEbus backplane, with the drive signals routed through the VMEbus P2 connector. This seamless integration reduces the complexity of system setup and commissioning. Whether it’s a new installation or an upgrade to an existing VMEbus system, the XVME – 979 can be added with relative ease.
Automatic Error Handling
It features automatic retries on errors, which helps to ensure data integrity. In the event of a minor read or write error, the module will automatically attempt to repeat the operation, minimizing the chance of data loss. Additionally, the transparent defect mapping (in some versions) reassigns defective sectors discovered in the field without the need for reformatting, further enhancing the reliability of the storage system.
Backed by Hainan Jinlin Electromechanical’s professional pre – sales and post – sales services, customers can rely on expert advice for product selection and a one – year after – sales guarantee for worry – free operation.
