Product Details:

MOTOROLA MVME2301-900 belongs to MVME2300 series 6U single-high VMEbus embedded single board computer, adopting Raven PCI-VME bridge chip design, equipped with PowerPC 603e 200MHz 32-bit processor and 256KB L2 cache. This variant is configured with 64MB two-way interleaved ECC DRAM, expandable up to 128MB, 4MB surface mount flash plus 1MB socketed PLCC flash for firmware storage, 8KB battery-backed NVRAM integrated with real-time clock, two configurable EIA-232/422/485 serial ports, dual 10/100Base-TX fast Ethernet RJ45 interfaces, and one Centronics compatible parallel printer port. It carries two 32/64-bit PMC expansion slots supporting P2 backplane I/O routing. It supports VMEbus A16/A24/A32 addressing and D8/D16/D32/D64 BLT DMA transfer, can act as VME system controller, integrates multiple programmable timers and hardware watchdog circuit. The built-in debug monitor supports serial console debugging, flash boot and network boot configuration. This legacy embedded board is end-of-life, available stock are refurbished replacement spares for vintage industrial and test automation systems.

This SBC can act as VMEbus master or slave and achieves high-speed data exchange between VME backplane and local PCI peripheral bus via the Raven bridge. The PowerPC 603e core delivers stable real-time computing performance for motion control, data acquisition and protocol processing tasks. It provides dual multi-mode serial channels for console setup and peripheral communication, dual fast Ethernet ports for redundant host networking, parallel port for printer connection and dual PMC slots for custom I/O, storage or communication mezzanine modules. Users can combine it with other VMEbus I/O and acquisition modules to build flexible embedded control systems. Optimized PCB layout suppresses electromagnetic interference, and it maintains stable compatibility with VxWorks, Linux and other classic real-time operating systems for PowerPC platform.

It adopts standard single-high 6U eurocard mechanical specification and draws +5V, ±12V power supply from the VME backplane. Front panel provides serial connectors, dual RJ45 Ethernet ports, parallel port and status LED indicators. 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 semiconductor test equipment, industrial control subsystems and long-cycle industrial data logging racks requiring PowerPC real-time operation, ECC memory protection, 200MHz CPU, dual Ethernet networking, multi-mode serial ports and dual PMC expansion capability. Typical application scenarios include VME rack main CPU replacement, redundant network data acquisition system maintenance and legacy automation platform retrofit. Automation integrators select this Motorola MVME2301-900 for its PowerPC 603e 200MHz,64MB ECC DRAM configuration, dual Ethernet,serial ports,PMC expansion.
