Description

Motorola MVME162-743

Technical Specifications

  • Processor: 68040-family CPU (EC/LC variants).
  • Communication Interfaces: Asynchronous serial (EIA-232/422), onboard 10Base-T Ethernet, and single-ended SCSI-2.
  • Non-Volatile Resources: Boot firmware (162Bug), NVRAM, and RTC.
  • Operating Systems: Supports VxWorks, pSOS, and OS-9.

Functional Features

  • Software Continuity: 162Bug and RTOS support reduces porting and re-validation costs.
  • High Integration: Onboard Ethernet and SCSI interfaces reduce the need for external expansion cards.
  • Deterministic Performance: 68040 architecture provides predictable hard real-time control performance.
  • Wide Compatibility: 6U VME size allows direct replacement of identical series modules in legacy systems.

Application Scenarios
Semiconductor manufacturing tools, industrial machinery and motion control, railway transit subsystems, ATE and lab test stands, and defense/aerospace ground systems.

Performance Parameters

  • Network: 10Base-T Ethernet.
  • Storage: SCSI-2 interface.

Material Composition
Industrial-grade PCB integrating high-density ASIC chips; critical components use high-reliability standards.

Structural Characteristics
6U VME (Eurocard) format, connects to the backplane via P1/P2 connectors, with slide-in installation.

Working Principle
As the core controller of the VME system, it processes TCP/IP protocol stacks via the onboard network controller, manages external storage devices using the SCSI
