- VMEbus System Controller: Full bus arbitration and block transfer support.
Application Scenarios
- Operator Stations: Local control panels and HMI terminals.
- Test Benches: Interactive test and debugging stations.
- Embedded Workstations: Standalone computing platforms in industrial environments.
Performance Parameters
- Operating Temperature: 0°C to 55°C with forced-air cooling.
- Storage Temperature: -40°C to +85°C.
- Humidity: 5% to 90% non-condensing.
Material Composition
Industrial-grade PCB with integrated Super I/O controller and standard VME components.
Structural Characteristics
- Form Factor: Double-high 6U VMEbus.
- Dimensions: Standard VME 6U mechanical footprint.
Working Principle
The PowerPC processor executes OS and application code while the PC87308 Super I/O handles keyboard/mouse interrupts and serial/parallel I/O, reducing CPU overhead for local interaction tasks.
Installation Requirements
- Requires 6U VME chassis with forced-air cooling.
- Keyboard and mouse connections routed through P2 connector and transition module.
Usage Precautions
- Observe ESD precautions during installation.
- Verify keyboard/mouse connector pinout matches transition module specifications.
- Ensure adequate cooling for Super I/O controller.
