Description

Motorola MVME162-026A

Technical Specifications

  • Microprocessor: 25 MHz MC68040 with FPU.
  • Memory: 4MB DRAM, 512KB SRAM.
  • Network: Integrated 10Base-T Ethernet with DMA.
  • Storage: SCSI-2 interface with DMA support.

Functional Features

  • Drop-in replacement for legacy MVME162 systems.
  • Supports VxWorks and pSOS for software continuity.
  • Provides comprehensive board-level diagnostics.
  • Features non-volatile configuration storage.

Application Scenarios
Used in semiconductor process tools, railway subsystems, and defense ground support equipment.

Performance Parameters

  • Data Transfer: High-speed DMA for Ethernet and SCSI.
  • Bus Support: A32/D64 VMEbus master/slave.
  • Power: +5V from VME backplane.

Material Composition
Ruggedized PCB with conformal coating and industrial-grade connectors.

Structural Characteristics
6U VME form factor with front panel Ethernet and SCSI access (via transition module or direct).

Working Principle
Manages network and storage I/O via DMA, freeing the CPU for real-time control tasks while maintaining VMEbus communication.

Installation Requirements

  • Use MVME712 transition module if standard I/O connectors are required.
  • Ensure SCSI bus is properly terminated.
  • Verify Ethernet link status via front panel LED.

Usage Precautions

  • Do not exceed SCSI cable length specifications.
  • Protect Ethernet ports from electrical surges.
  • Regularly inspect and clean air filters in the VME chassis.
