Product Details:

MOTOROLA MVME162-410 belongs to MVME162FX series 6U VMEbus single board computer, equipped with MC68LC040 32MHz 32-bit processor, 8KB on-chip cache and MMU, without integrated hardware FPU. This variant is configured with 8MB parity DRAM, 512KB battery-backed SRAM, four EIA-232-D serial ports and four IndustryPack expansion slots, it does not integrate SCSI controller and Ethernet transceiver. It integrates 2MB flash memory for firmware storage, battery-backed real-time clock, programmable timers and hardware watchdog circuit. The built-in MVME162Bug monitor supports serial console debugging, memory verification and boot parameter setup. This legacy embedded board is end-of-life, available stock are refurbished replacement spares for vintage VME automation racks.

This SBC can act as VMEbus master or slave and supports A16/A24/A32 addressing and D8/D16/D32 data transfer with interrupt management. It is designed for serial-oriented field acquisition systems without network and storage requirements. Users can install up to four IndustryPack mezzanine modules to add analog, digital or special signal interfaces to match different project needs. Optimized multi-layer PCB routing suppresses electromagnetic noise interference from servo drives and heavy industrial cabinet environments. It maintains stable compatibility with VxWorks and other classic real-time operating systems.

It adopts standard 6U eurocard mechanical specification and draws +5V, ±12V power supply from the VME backplane. Front panel provides serial connectors and status LED indicators, and the P2 rear connector routes mezzanine signals to transition boards. Hot swap operation is not supported; power supply must be shut down before installation or removal. The PCB and soldering assembly meet industrial shock and vibration specifications for cabinet mounting.

It is widely deployed in multi-channel serial data collection subsystems and laboratory test equipment that do not require network and local storage. Typical application scenarios include VME rack auxiliary CPU replacement, multi-sensor serial system maintenance and custom test bench retrofit. Automation integrators select this Motorola MVME162-410 for its MC68LC040, 32MHz 8MB parity DRAM configuration, four EIA-232-D serial ports and four IndustryPack slots, no SCSI and Ethernet.
