Working Principle: The RXE2N0F7G132A operates as the central processing unit of a VMEbus system. The on-board processor executes application code stored in local memory, communicating with VMEbus peripheral cards through the P1/P2 connectors. The two gigabit Ethernet ports route to the P0 connector, enabling backplane-integrated networking compliant with VITA 31.1, which allows gigabit Ethernet communication between SBCs and network interface cards across the VME backplane without external cabling. Installation Requirements:
- Install in a standard 6U VMEbus chassis with VME64x backplane (P0/P1/P2)
- Align connectors with backplane guide rails and seat fully using ejector levers
- Secure with front-panel mounting screws
- Connect rear I/O and network cabling per the system wiring diagram
- Verify fuse rating (1 A / 250 V) before energizing
Usage Notes:
- Observe ESD precautions when handling the board
- Confirm VMEbus chassis power is off before insertion or removal
- Verify VITA 31.1 backplane support for gigabit Ethernet over P0
- Replace the protection fuse only with the same rating (1 A / 250 V)
- Ensure firmware and RTOS compatibility with the target application
