Description
Motorola MVME162-403
Technical Specifications:
- Brand: Motorola
- Model: MVME162-403
- Processor: Motorola 68040 Family
- I/O Interfaces: Asynchronous serial I/O (EIA-232/422); Typically includes onboard 10Base-T Ethernet and SCSI-2
- Non-Volatile Resources: Onboard boot firmware (162Bug), NVRAM, and RTC
- Operating System Support: VxWorks, pSOS, OS-9
Functional Features:
- Software Continuity: Supports mature operating system ecosystems, reducing porting and revalidation costs.
- Broad Install Base: Widespread parts availability and service knowledge simplify Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO).
Application Scenarios:
Semiconductor manufacturing tools, industrial machinery and motion control, railway and transportation subsystems, Automated Test Equipment (ATE), and defense/aerospace ground systems.
Performance Parameters:
- Provides deterministic real-time control performance.
- Typical operating temperature range is 0°C to +55°C.
Material Composition:
Constructed with premium industrial-grade components to ensure long-term stable operation.
Structural Characteristics:
6U VME (Eurocard) size, interfacing with standard 19-inch VME chassis via P1/P2 connectors.
Working Principle:
Executes instructions via the 68040 core, utilizing onboard firmware and operating systems to coordinate data acquisition, logic computation, and network communication.
Installation Requirements:
Slide-in 6U VME slot installation, secured with front-panel screws; requires air cooling, with 30-50 LFM airflow per slot recommended.
Usage Precautions:
Ensure the backplane provides stable +5V DC power. Observe ESD precautions during handling. Keep chassis fans and dust filters clean.
