VME (Versa Module Europa) boards are a type of computer hardware used in embedded systems for industrial, military, and aerospace applications. VME boards run on a parallel bus, allowing for better communication between devices. These devices plug into a backplane, which enables a modular and scalable system design where different types of VME boards can be used together.

VME boards are designed to withstand tough conditions, establishing them as an ideal choice for industrial, defense, and aerospace industries. Acromag does exactly that, ensuring high-speed data processing, extensive I/O options, and the ruggedness needed for extreme conditions.
