Product Short Description
Functional Features
- Diverse Legacy & Industrial I/O Integration: Combines SCSI, parallel, multi – standard serial and Ethernet into one PMC module, eliminating the need for multiple expansion cards.
- Rear – I/O Optimization: Routes all I/O to the system rear panel via transition modules, freeing up front – panel space for user – facing controls/indicators.
- Protocol Flexibility: Serial ports support multiple industrial protocols (Modbus, Profibus, DNP3) via hardware configuration, adapting to diverse peripheral networks.
- SCSI Versatility: Ultra Wide SCSI interface supports high – speed storage (hard drives, tape drives) and industrial scanners with auto – sensing LVD/SE signaling.
- VME Ecosystem Compatibility: Seamlessly pairs with Motorola MVME series SBCs (MVME1600/2700/3600) and MVME712M transition modules for plug – and – play integration.
- Industrial – Grade Reliability: Wide temperature range, robust ESD/vibration resistance and redundant signal grounding ensure operation in factory floors, oil fields and military – aero deployments.
- Configurable Serial Modes: Async/sync ports can be set to DTE/DCE or industry – specific standards (V.35/X.21) via jumpers, matching diverse communication equipment.
