Description
Motorola MVME177P-54SE
Technical Specifications
- Processor: MC68060 microprocessor optimized for the 54 configuration.
- Memory: ECC-protected DRAM tailored for balanced performance.
- Interfaces: Integrated 10/100Mbps Ethernet, SCSI-2, and four serial ports.
Functional Features
- High Integration: Consolidates processor, memory, network, and storage on a single VME board, saving chassis space.
- Flexible Memory Mapping: Flash and EPROM mapping is configurable via hardware jumper (J8) and VMEchip2 GPIO bits.
- Industrial Reliability: Engineered for continuous 24/7 operation with exceptional Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF).
Application Scenarios
Factory automation, process control, data acquisition systems, and test and measurement equipment.
Performance Parameters
- Power Specs: +5Vdc (±5%) at 1.75A typical/2.0A max; +12Vdc (±5%) at 1A max; -12Vdc (±5%) at 100mA typical.
- Environmental Specs: Operating temperature -5°C to 55°C (forced-air); Storage temperature -40°C to +85°C.
- Physical Dimensions: Height 9.2 in., Front panel width 0.8 in., Front panel height 10.3 in., Depth 6.3 in.
Material Composition
Multi-layer impedance-controlled PCB. Critical components undergo burn-in screening to ensure parameter stability across wide temperature ranges.
Structural Characteristics
Standard double-high VME module. Front panel interfaces are ergonomically laid out for efficient rack wiring and module extraction.
Working Principle
Upon power-up, the VMEchip2 ASIC initializes the local bus and maps Flash/EPROM to address $0. The MC68060 executes the bootloader, initializes peripherals, and loads the OS.
Installation Requirements
Shielded cables are mandatory for all external I/O. Conductive chassis rails must make firm contact with the chassis ground, and front panel screws must be torqued correctly.
Usage Precautions
Do not operate beyond the rated 5000-meter altitude. Regularly inspect cooling fans and chassis airflow paths to prevent thermal throttling or shutdowns.
