Product Details:

MOTOROLA MVME162-433 belongs to MVME162FX series 6U VMEbus single board computer, equipped with MC68LC040 32MHz 32-bit processor with 8KB on-chip cache and MMU, without integrated hardware FPU. This variant is configured with 16MB parity DRAM, 512KB battery-backed SRAM, four EIA-232-D serial ports, onboard narrow SCSI controller and 10Mbps Ethernet transceiver, paired with four IndustryPack expansion slots. It integrates 2MB flash memory for firmware storage, battery-backed real-time clock, programmable tick timers and hardware watchdog circuit. The built-in MVME162Bug monitor supports serial console debugging, memory verification, SCSI boot and network boot configuration. 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 carries 16MB large parity memory for stable data buffering, SCSI storage interface for local data archiving and Ethernet for remote upload. Users can install up to four IndustryPack mezzanine modules to expand analog and digital signal acquisition channels for complex multi-channel control tasks. 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 Ethernet, SCSI and 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 high-channel-count process data acquisition racks and semiconductor test subsystems requiring large parity memory, SCSI storage and Ethernet communication. Typical application scenarios include VME rack auxiliary CPU replacement, large-volume data logging system maintenance and automation platform retrofit. Automation integrators select this Motorola MVME162-433 for its MC68LC040, 32MHz 16MB parity DRAM configuration, four EIA-232-D serial ports, SCSI, Ethernet and four IndustryPack slots.
