Description

GE VME7768-320000

  • Technical Specifications:
    • Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo, up to 2.16 GHz, up to 4 MB L2 cache
    • Memory: Up to 2 GB DDR2 via one SODIMM; 667 MHz system/memory bus
    • Storage: Up to 8 GB bootable CompactFlash
    • Front-panel I/O: Dual Gigabit Ethernet (2× RJ45), 2× serial ports, 4× USB 2.0, PS/2 keyboard & mouse, SVGA
    • Expansion: One PCI-X PMC site (64-bit/66 MHz)
    • VME interface: VME64/VME64x (2eSST) with high bandwidth
    • Operating system support: Windows XP, VxWorks, Linux
  • Functional Features:
    • High CPU throughput for data-intensive and I/O-intensive tasks
    • PMC expansion for application-specific I/O or acceleration
    • Front-panel connectors ease cabling and field service
    • Broad OS support fits many legacy and new applications
  • Application Scenarios:
    • Industrial automation and PLC/motion control platforms
    • Turbine/generator control and protection racks
    • Data acquisition, test & measurement, and image processing
    • Transportation, aerospace, and defense embedded systems
  • Performance Parameters:
    • 667 MHz memory bus and 2eSST VME for high-throughput real-time data paths
    • Sufficient memory and CPU headroom for multitasking control stacks and HMI
  • Material and Structural Characteristics:
    • 6U Eurocard form factor (233.4 × 160 mm typical) with robust FR-4 PCB and metal front panel
    • Industrial-grade components; optional conformal coating for harsh environments
  • Working Principle: Executes application code (control, data processing, communication) on the Core 2 Duo CPU, exchanges data with other VME modules over the VME64x backplane, and interfaces with external devices via front-panel ports and PMC mezzanine.
  • Installation Requirements:
    • Mount in a 6U VME64x chassis with adequate backplane support and cooling airflow
    • Verify power-supply voltages (+5 V, +3.3 V, +12 V) and current budget for the SBC and any PMC cards
    • Secure with front-panel mounting screws and ensure proper grounding
  • Usage Notes:
    • Handle with ESD precautions; power off the chassis before insertion or removal
    • Verify CPU heat-sink/fan arrangement (if applicable) per chassis cooling design
    • Keep CompactFlash and PMC connections seated firmly; tighten connector hardware as needed
