Motorola MVME162FX Embedded Controller

The MVME162FX is based on the MC68040 or MC68LC040 microprocessor.

Different versions of the MVME162FX are available with 4MB, 8MB or 16MB of unprotected DRAM, 8KB SRAM (with battery backup), daily clock (with battery backup),

Ethernet transceiver interface, two serial ports with EIA-232-D or EIA-530 or EIA-485/422 interfaces, six timers, watchdog timer, one PROM socket,

1MB of Flash memory (one Flash device), four IndustryPack (IP) interfaces with DMA, SCSI bus interface with DMA, VMEbus controller, and 512KB of SRAM with battery backup. a “no VMEbus” option is also available.

The I/O on the MVME162FX is connected to the VMEbus P2 connector. The main board is connected via a P2 transition board and a cable connecting the transition board.

The MVME162FX supports the transition boards MVME712-12. MVME712-13. MVME712M, MVME712A, MVME712AM, and MVME712B (referred to in this manual as MVME712x unless otherwise noted).

The MVME712x transition board provides configuration headers and industry standard connectors for I/O devices.

I/O connections to the serial ports on the MVME162FX are also made via two DB-25 front panel I/O connectors.

The MVME712 series transition boards are designed to support the MVME167 boards, but can be used on the MVME162FX if some special precautions are taken.

(For more information, see the Serial Communications Interfaces section of the MVME162FX Embedded Controller Installation and Use Manual).

Benefits

The MVME162FX series provides an ideal platform for embedded monitoring applications for OEMs and solution developers.

It enables OEMs to minimize engineering costs while integrating value-added hardware and software applications into off-the-shelf products.

To provide a wide range of solutions, the MVME162FX allows the use of a variety of MPUs, memory and interface options such as floating point, Ethernet, SCSI and VME.

As a result, the MVME162FX variants best fit the application requirements.
