- Backward Compatibility: Mechanically, electrically, and software-compatible with the MVME177P-67SE for seamless drop-in upgrades.
- Flexible Storage Configuration: Flash/EPROM mapping and write protection are configurable via jumpers and registers.
Application Scenarios
Smooth upgrades for existing MVME177P systems, critical infrastructure modernization, and new designs demanding enhanced stability.
Performance Parameters
- Power Requirements: +5Vdc max 2.0A, +12Vdc max 1A, -12Vdc typical 100mA.
- Environmental Specs: Operating temp -5°C to 55°C, Storage temp -40°C to +85°C, Humidity 5%-90% non-condensing.
- Physical Dimensions: Height 9.2 in., Front panel width 0.8 in., Front panel height 10.3 in., Depth 6.3 in.
Material Composition
Industrial-grade high-reliability components. PCBs undergo rigorous electrical testing and Environmental Stress Screening (ESS).
Structural Characteristics
Standard double-high VME module. Front panel interface layout matches the 67SE exactly, simplifying field maintenance and spare parts management.
Working Principle
After power-on reset, hardware maps boot memory to address $0. The MC68060 executes boot code, initializes VMEchip2 and peripherals, and loads the RTOS.
Installation Requirements
Ensure VME backplane connectors are clean and free of debris. Torque front panel mounting screws to specification to guarantee EMC grounding.
Usage Precautions
When used as an upgrade, verify system firmware compatibility with the new hardware. Never operate beyond rated vibration and temperature limits.
