Product Short Description

Functional Features

  • All-in-One VME SBC: Integrates CPU, co-processor, memory and full I/O suite on a single board, reducing backplane slot usage and system complexity.
  • Legacy Processing Compatibility: MC68030/MC68882 combination supports legacy 68k assembly code and real-time control algorithms, ideal for upgrading aging VME systems.
  • Rich I/O Integration: 4 serial ports, parallel, SCSI and Ethernet cover industrial connectivity needs for data acquisition, storage and network communication.
  • Parity-Protected Memory: DRAM parity checking prevents data corruption from electrical noise, critical for safety-critical industrial applications.
  • Battery-Backed RTC/NVRAM: MK48T18 retains time/date and configuration data during power loss, ensuring system continuity in remote deployments.
  • VMEbus Master/Slave Flexibility: Acts as a VMEbus master for data processing or slave for peripheral control, with configurable arbitration modes.
  • Industrial-Grade Durability: Wide temperature range, robust ESD/shock/vibration resistance and redundant power filtering enable operation in factory floors, oil rigs and military ground systems.
  • Plug-and-Play VME Integration: Compliant with VME64 standards, pairs with MVME transition modules (e.g., MVME712M) for rear-panel I/O routing.
