VCMI acts as a communication link within the control system architecture, it acts as both a communication interface and a VME bus master, responsible for data exchange and management within the control and I/O racks. Within the control and I/O racks, it acts as a VME bus master. VCMI facilitates the implementation of three simplex system configurations, each of which utilizes local and remote I/O capabilities. These configurations leverage the versatility of VCMI to establish a powerful communication channel between the controller and I/O modules distributed throughout the system. It extends its communication capabilities to remote I/O racks that are far away from the main controller. By leveraging the IONet network, multiple remote I/O racks can be interconnected, allowing for seamless integration of distributed I/O devices. Serves as a gateway for transmitting control commands and receiving data from remote I/O modules, enabling comprehensive system control and monitoring.
