Product Short Description

Functional Features

  • PowerPC 603e Performance: MPC8240 delivers 200/250 MHz processing with 16 KB I/D cache, offloading PCI/mezzanine data transfers via integrated DMA for low-latency real-time control.
  • PCI Mezzanine Expansion: 1 PMC + 3 PC·MIP slots support industrial I/O (analog I/O, motion control, fiber optics), reducing VME slot usage and system cost.
  • Dual-Bandwidth Ethernet: 10/100Base-TX auto-sensing port links to SCADA, enterprise LANs, or telecom backbones, with DMA accelerating data throughput.
  • Persistent Memory Retention: 512 KB battery-backed SRAM and MK48T59 NVRAM preserve configuration data and TOD during power loss, ensuring system continuity in remote sites.
  • VME64x System Controller: Acts as master, slave, or system controller with A64/D64 VME64x support, optimizing multi-module bus utilization in large VME systems.
  • ECC-Protected SDRAM: Prevents data corruption from electrical noise, critical for safety-critical industrial control and scientific data acquisition.
  • Industrial-Grade Durability: Wide temperature range (-40°C to +85°C), 50 g shock, 1 g vibration tolerance, and ±15 kV ESD protection enable deployment in factories, oil fields, and military systems.
  • Legacy RTOS Compatibility: Supports VxWorks/Linux/RTEMS, ideal for upgrading 68k-based MVME systems without rewriting control software.
  • Modular Mezzanine Flexibility: PC·MIP slots support mixed-signal I/O modules (digital I/O, counter/timers) for custom peripheral integration without extra VME cards.
