Description

Motorola MVME162P-242LE

Technical Specifications:

  • Brand: Motorola
  • Model: MVME162P-242LE
  • Processor: Motorola MC68EC030/MC68030 series CPU
  • Memory: RAM ranging from 2 MB to 8 MB (expandable), equipped with ROM/Flash for firmware and boot programs, and NVRAM with a real-time clock function
  • Bus Interface: Standard VMEbus supporting 16/32-bit data transfer

Functional Features:

  • Rich Interfaces: Provides multiple serial interfaces (RS-232/RS-422) and parallel interfaces to meet various industrial communication needs.
  • System Control: Features bus arbitration, DMA data transfer, interrupt management, as well as self-test and status monitoring functions.
  • System Compatibility: Perfectly supports mainstream embedded real-time operating systems such as VxWorks and pSOS.

Application Scenarios:
Widely applied in industrial automation and process control (managing data acquisition and execution control for production lines, PLC systems, and industrial equipment), machine tools and motion control systems (multi-axis synchronous control, pulse output, and servo drive management), test and measurement systems, communication and embedded systems, and energy and power systems (real-time monitoring and control of power generation, transformation, and distribution systems).

Performance Parameters:

  • Environmental Adaptability: Features an industrial-grade design capable of withstanding wide temperature ranges and long-term continuous operation.
  • Control Capability: Supports high-speed data processing and reliable control execution.

Material Composition:
Manufactured using industrial-grade electronic components to ensure stable operation in harsh environments.

Structural Characteristics:
Adopts a standard VMEbus single-board computer form factor equipped with standard VME P1/P2 connectors.

Working Principle:
Serving as the core computing unit, it collaborates with other expansion modules via the VME bus to execute real-time control algorithms and process external input/output signals.

Installation Requirements:
Must be inserted into a standard chassis backplane slot supporting the VME bus, ensuring connectors are perfectly aligned and securely locked.

Usage Precautions:
Always implement Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) precautions before handling. Ensure adequate system cooling and airflow. Never insert or remove the module while the system is powered on.
