Description

GE RXE2N0F7G132A

Technical Specifications:

  • Series: GE RXE2 (VMEbus single-board computer family)
  • Form Factor: VME64x 6U single-board computer
  • Ethernet: Two 10/100/1000BaseT ports routed to rear P0 connector (VITA 31.1 gigabit Ethernet over VME backplane)
  • Backplane Connector: VME64x P0/P1/P2 connectors
  • Protection: 1 A / 250 V fuse, reset switch
  • On-board Components: Two transformers of different sizes, various integrated circuits
  • Certifications: NFPA Class 1 suitability (per related RXE2 documentation)
  • Operating Voltage: 24 V (typical control supply per module listings)
  • Operating Environment: Industrial control cabinet range

Functional Features:

  • Dual gigabit Ethernet ports routed to P0 for backplane-integrated networking (VITA 31.1)
  • VME64x backplane interface for high-speed data exchange with peripheral cards
  • On-board reset switch for controlled reboot and debugging
  • Fuse protection on critical power circuits for fault isolation
  • Transformer-based isolation for Ethernet and signal interfaces
  • Compact 6U VME form factor for dense embedded control systems

Application Scenarios:

  • Gas turbine control systems as the core processing card
  • Industrial embedded computing requiring VMEbus expansion
  • Data acquisition and real-time control in power generation
  • Defense and aerospace systems using VME architecture
  • Communication and signal processing platforms

Performance Parameters:

  • Gigabit Ethernet throughput via VITA 31.1 backplane networking
  • VME64x bus bandwidth for high-speed peripheral communication
  • Industrial-grade reliability for continuous embedded operation

Material and Structural Characteristics:

  • Multi-layer FR-4 PCB with industrial-grade components
  • VME64x P0/P1/P2 DIN connectors for backplane mating
  • Transformers for galvanic isolation of Ethernet and signal circuits
  • Fuse holder for overcurrent protection
  • Metal front panel with ejector levers for secure insertion/extraction
  • Conformal coating options for harsh environments

Working Principle: The RXE2N0F7G132A operates as the central processing unit of a VMEbus system. The on-board processor executes application code stored in local memory, communicating with VMEbus peripheral cards through the P1/P2 connectors. The two gigabit Ethernet ports route to the P0 connector, enabling backplane-integrated networking compliant with VITA 31.1, which allows gigabit Ethernet communication between SBCs and network interface cards across the VME backplane without external cabling. Installation Requirements:

  • Install in a standard 6U VMEbus chassis with VME64x backplane (P0/P1/P2)
  • Align connectors with backplane guide rails and seat fully using ejector levers
  • Secure with front-panel mounting screws
  • Connect rear I/O and network cabling per the system wiring diagram
  • Verify fuse rating (1 A / 250 V) before energizing

Usage Notes:

  • Observe ESD precautions when handling the board
  • Confirm VMEbus chassis power is off before insertion or removal
  • Verify VITA 31.1 backplane support for gigabit Ethernet over P0
  • Replace the protection fuse only with the same rating (1 A / 250 V)
  • Ensure firmware and RTOS compatibility with the target application
