Product Short Description

Functional Features

  • IndustryPack Expansion Flexibility: 2 IP ports support a wide range of industrial I/O modules (analog input/output, digital I/O, motion control), enabling customized peripheral integration without extra VME slots.
  • DMA – Accelerated Peripherals: Ethernet and SCSI interfaces use DMA to offload data transfer from the CPU, enhancing real – time processing performance for data – intensive tasks.
  • Battery – Backed Persistent Memory: 512 KB SRAM and MK48T08 NVRAM/TOD clock retain configuration data and time during power loss, ensuring system continuity in remote or unstable power environments.
  • VMEbus System Controller: Acts as a VMEbus master, slave, or system controller, with configurable arbitration modes to optimize bus utilization in multi – module systems.
  • Dual Serial Port Versatility: Console port for system management and configurable port for industrial protocols (Modbus, DNP3) via hardware settings, adapting to diverse field devices.
  • Parity – Protected DRAM: Prevents data corruption from electrical interference, critical for safety – critical industrial control and process monitoring applications.
  • Industrial – Grade Durability: Wide temperature range, robust ESD/shock/vibration resistance and redundant power filtering allow deployment in factory floors, oil fields and military ground systems.
  • Legacy 68k Software Compatibility: MC68LC040 architecture supports legacy 68000 – series assembly code, ideal for upgrading aging VME systems without rewriting control algorithms.
