Product details

Motorola's VME Embedded Controller is a high-performance microprocessor-based embedded computing solution designed for a variety of industrial automation, communications, and military applications. Here is a detailed description of its configuration and features:

Configuration and processor:

The core uses a 60 MHz MC68060 microprocessor, which provides powerful computing power and efficient instruction execution.

It is equipped with 4 MB of DRAM (dynamic random access memory) for storing data and programs at runtime.

The 512 KB SRAM (static random access memory) provides the system with fast data access capabilities, and comes with a backup battery to ensure that data is not lost in the event of a power outage.

2 MB of Flash memory is used to store firmware, operating systems, and applications, and its non-volatile nature ensures persistent data retention.

Interface and communication:

The controller has a BIOS chip installed for system boot and basic input/output operations.

Four IndustryPack ports are provided to support a variety of industry standard modules, extending the function and application range of the system.

Equipped with Ethernet transceiver interface, support 32-bit local bus DMA (direct memory access), to achieve high-speed network communication.

High-performance 32-bit SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) interface enables the controller to efficiently connect to a variety of storage devices.

Serial Port B adopts EIA-232-D (DCE) serial interface module, model number is SIMM06, and supports standard serial communication protocol.

Series features:

Emerson/Motorola's MVME172 series VME embedded controllers are built on MC68060 or MC68LC060 microprocessors that offer high performance and low power consumption.

For the 400/500 series serial ports, I/O connectivity is provided through two DB-25 front panel I/O connectors, which are designed for easy user connection and configuration.

The I/O interface is connected to the P2 connector of the VMEbus, ensuring seamless integration with the VMEbus system.

The motherboard is connected to the transition board by P2 transition board and cable, making the expansion and configuration of the system more flexible.

The MVME172 series supports a variety of transition boards such as MVME712-12, MVME712-13, MVME712M, MVME712A, MVME712AM, and MVME712B. These transition boards provide configuration headers, serial port drivers, and industry-standard connectors to simplify the connection and configuration of I/O devices.

It is important to note that although the transition boards of the MVME712 series were originally designed for the MVME167 board, they can also be used for the MVME172 board if specific precautions are followed.

To sum up, Motorola's VME embedded controller with its powerful microprocessor, rich memory configuration, a variety of interfaces and flexible scalability, become the ideal choice in the field of embedded systems. Whether in industrial automation, communications equipment or other high performance computing applications, it provides outstanding performance and reliability.
