Product Details:

MOTOROLA VME162PA-344SE 01-W3528F60A belongs to MVME162PA series 6U double-high VMEbus embedded single board computer, adopting Petra ASIC chip design, equipped with MC68040 33MHz 32-bit processor with integrated FPU and MMU, 01-W3528F60A represents the specific hardware revision of this board. This variant is configured with 16MB ECC DRAM, 2MB on-board flash memory, 8KB battery-backed NVRAM integrated with real-time clock, four EIA-232-D serial ports, AUI 10Mbps Ethernet interface and fast SCSI controller, supporting two IndustryPack expansion slots. It supports VMEbus A16/A24/A32 addressing and D8/D16/D32 BLT block DMA transfer, can act as VME system controller, integrates boot ROM sockets, programmable timers and hardware watchdog circuit. The built-in 162Bug firmware monitor supports serial console debugging, self-test diagnostics, 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 delivers reliable data transmission on the VME backplane. The MC68040 on-chip floating-point unit is capable of real-time control, motion calculation and multi-channel data acquisition workloads. It provides four EIA-232D serial channels for console configuration and peripheral communication, SCSI interface for legacy storage devices and AUI Ethernet port for host communication. Users can expand analog I/O, digital I/O or communication modules via dual IndustryPack slots and combine it with other VMEbus devices to construct customized embedded control systems. Optimized PCB layout suppresses electromagnetic interference, and it maintains stable compatibility with VxWorks, OS-9 and other classic real-time operating systems for MC68K platform.

It adopts standard double-high 6U eurocard mechanical specification and draws +5V, ±12V power supply from the VME backplane. Front panel provides serial connectors, AUI Ethernet port, SCSI 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 MC68040 floating-point operation, ECC memory protection, 33MHz CPU, SCSI storage, Ethernet communication and dual IndustryPack expansion capability. Typical application scenarios include VME rack main CPU replacement, multi-task data acquisition system maintenance and legacy automation platform retrofit. Automation integrators select this Motorola VME162PA-344SE 01-W3528F60A for its MC68040 33MHz,16MB ECC DRAM configuration, serial ports,SCSI,Ethernet,IndustryPack.
