The published family documentation describes the board as a single-slot, passively cooled VME Eurocard computer using Intel’s 855GME chipset. The family supports up to 1.5 GB DDR SDRAM, CompactFlash, multiple Ethernet interfaces, four serial ports, four USB 2.0 ports, and one PCI-X PMC expansion site.
Product Introduction
The is an industrial VMEbus single-board computer designed for embedded computing, system control, instrumentation, simulation, data acquisition, and factory automation applications. It uses an Intel Pentium M processor and Intel 855GME chipset in a single-slot VME Eurocard format, allowing computing resources to be integrated directly into an existing VME chassis rather than requiring a separate industrial PC.
The GE VMIVME-017807-414001 identification belongs to the same hardware family. The board provides VMEbus connectivity together with Ethernet, serial, USB, video, storage, and PMC expansion functions. The exact processor speed, memory population, storage configuration, front-panel arrangement, and rear-I/O implementation depend on the specific ordering configuration, so the full assembly number should be matched before replacement.

Application Scenarios & Field Pitfalls — Engineer’s Perspective
The is most relevant where an existing VME computing platform must continue operating without redesigning the entire chassis. Typical applications include legacy VME control systems, industrial data acquisition, automated test equipment, simulation systems, process monitoring, and embedded instrumentation. The board can operate as a VME system controller or as a peripheral computer, depending on system architecture and configuration.
The main procurement risk is configuration mismatch rather than basic board identification. is a family designation, not a guarantee that every board has the same CPU speed, RAM, storage, rear-I/O arrangement, or firmware environment. A replacement carrying the same family name may still require different software or hardware configuration.
Before installation, verify:
- Exact assembly number: Confirm VMIVME-017807-414001 and the board revision against the existing unit.
- Processor and RAM: Do not assume the installed CPU or memory configuration from the family name alone.
- Rear I/O: Check the required transition module and connector allocation before moving the board into service.
- Operating system: Legacy Windows, Linux, VxWorks, QNX, and other environments may require different drivers or boot media.
- VME configuration: Confirm system-controller/peripheral role, VME slot assignment, and installed PMC hardware.
- Storage: If CompactFlash or IDE storage contains the application image, preserve and verify the existing software environment before replacement.
This is a computer board, not a conventional PLC CPU, VFD, or process I/O module. Several commercial listings incorrectly describe the as a variable-frequency drive; that classification is inconsistent with the GE Fanuc product documentation identifying the unit as a Pentium M-based VME SBC.

Procurement note: For a replacement, the safest match is + + board revision + installed memory/storage configuration, rather than matching only “7807.” If the board is being used in a running legacy system, preserve the existing boot media and application image before changing hardware.
