Performance Parameters:

  • Bus Bandwidth: 320MB/s (2eSST)
  • Processor Clock: 1.267 GHz
  • Network Throughput: Dual Gigabit Ethernet

Material Composition:
Constructed with high-quality multi-layer industrial-grade PCBs, featuring high-performance PowerPC chipsets, DDR ECC memory, and Texas Instruments (TI) VMEbus transceivers that support 2eSST signal switching speeds.

Structural Characteristics:
Standard 6U VME module form factor, equipped with high-density P1/P2 backplane connectors, PMC-X expansion panels, and a robust metal heat dissipation frame.

Working Principle:
The MPC7457 processor executes core control algorithms while the AltiVec coprocessor accelerates data computation. Data is transmitted at high speeds across the VME bus via the 2eSST protocol, while the dual Gigabit Ethernet interfaces handle real-time external network communication.

Installation Requirements:
Wear an anti-static wrist strap during installation. Align the module with the chassis guides, ensure the ejector levers are in the outward position, slide the board in until resistance is felt, and simultaneously push the levers inward to lock the module securely.

Precautions for Use:
Observe strict case sensitivity when entering firmware commands (e.g., MOTLoad). Ensure the chassis provides adequate forced-air cooling and strictly adhere to Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) protection protocols.
