Description

Motorola MVME162-11A

Technical Specifications

  • Microprocessor: 25 MHz MC68LC040 enhanced 32-bit processor with 8KB cache and MMU (no FPU).
  • Memory: 4MB DRAM and 512KB SRAM.
  • Storage: 1MB Flash memory for system firmware.
  • Expansion: Four IndustryPack ports for modular I/O.

Functional Features

  • Supports A32/D64 VMEbus master/slave interface.
  • Features the 162Bug onboard monitor for hardware diagnostics.
  • Capable of booting from Flash, network, or serial port.
  • Includes six 32-bit timers with watchdog functionality.

Application Scenarios
Perfect for PLC systems, process control, factory automation, and general-purpose data acquisition systems.

Performance Parameters

  • Bus Support: A16/A24/A32 addressing with D8/D16/D32 data widths.
  • Power Consumption: Typical 20W.
  • Operating Temperature: 0°C to +55°C.

Material Composition
Industrial-grade components with three-proof coating (moisture, salt spray, mold) for harsh environments.

Structural Characteristics
Standard 6U VME dimensions with front panel status indicators and debug interfaces.

Working Principle
The MC68LC040 runs the real-time operating system, managing VMEbus communication via the VMEChip2 ASIC and expanding physical I/O through the IndustryPack interface.

Installation Requirements

  • Slide into the 6U VME chassis, ensuring alignment with card guides.
  • Ensure adequate cooling airflow across the board.
  • Configure system controller jumpers correctly to avoid bus conflicts.

Usage Precautions

  • Strictly prohibit hot-swapping the module.
  • Periodically check the SRAM backup battery voltage.
  • Operate strictly within specified temperature and humidity limits.
