Product Details:

MOTOROLA MVME162-014A belongs to MVME162 series 6U VMEbus single board computer, it is the A revision hardware variant of MVME162-014. Equipped with MC68LC040 25MHz 32-bit processor without built-in FPU. This variant is configured with 8MB parity DRAM, 512KB battery-backed SRAM, two EIA-232-D serial ports and four IndustryPack expansion slots, it does not integrate SCSI controller and Ethernet transceiver. It integrates battery-backed NVRAM, real-time clock, watchdog timer and VME system controller function. The onboard VME162Bug monitor firmware supports serial debug, memory operation and system boot configuration. This legacy SBC is discontinued, available stock are refurbished spare units for semiconductor manufacturing equipment, industrial test racks and vintage VME control systems.

This CPU board works as bus master or slave inside standard VME chassis, supports A32/D32 VME bus transfer and multi-level VME interrupt handling. It exchanges control data with VME I/O modules and communicates with host system. Shielded backplane wiring reduces electromagnetic interference generated by servo power units and harsh workshop environment. It has good compatibility with classic real-time operating systems such as VxWorks and RTEMS.

It follows standard 6U double eurocard form factor, powered by +5V, ±12V DC supplied from VME backplane. Front panel carries STATUS LED indicators, plus RESET push button for convenient on-site diagnosis. P2 rear connector expands serial and IndustryPack I/O signals. Hot swap is not supported, power supply must be cut off before removal and replacement. Industrial PCB and vibration-resistant soldering process adapt to continuous factory multi-shift operation.

All units pass power-on self-test, memory detection, VME bus handshake test, serial communication test and long-time aging test before shipment to guarantee stable real-time operation.

It is widely used on semiconductor manufacturing equipment, metallurgy data acquisition cabinets, industrial measurement platforms and old CNC control systems. Typical application scenarios include VME rack main CPU replacement, legacy automation system maintenance and equipment retrofit. Automation integrators select this Motorola MVME162-014A for its updated A revision, 25MHz 8MB parity DRAM configuration and four IndustryPack ports, no SCSI and Ethernet.
