HARTING safeguards high-speed data transmissions on VME platform for Indian
energy supplier.
In deregulated energy supply systems the control of power stations is a challenging task. HARTING India played a
central role in the planning and development of a VMEbus-based control system for high-speed data transmissions
in applications for the latest generation of electrical power stations.
The HARTING Technology Group was requested to be a
system and module supplier for a project commissioned
by Indian IT service provider Omnie Solutions (I) Pvt Ltd.
to develop a complex system for high-speed processing of
I/O signals with the aid of a VME-64 backplane in a power
station environment.
are used in traffic control, telecommunications switching
systems, data acquisition, video systems and robot control
systems. In comparison to the bus systems in desktop
computers, the VME bus system is less susceptible to knocks,
vibrations and extreme temperatures and therefore ideally
suited to harsh environments.
The VMEbus (Versa Modular Eurocard Bus) was developed
by Motorola, Signetics, Mostek and Thompson CSF for global
use in industrial and business applications. VMEbus systems
The VMEbus system is based on the VME standard, in which

housing features as well as the electronic requirements for
