Product Details:

MOTOROLA VME172PA-652SE belongs to MVME172PA series 6U double-high VMEbus embedded single board computer, adopting Petra ASIC chip design, equipped with MC68060 60MHz 32-bit superscalar RISC processor, integrated FPU and MMU. This variant is configured with 32MB ECC SDRAM, 128KB battery-backed SRAM, 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/D64 BLT block DMA transfer, can act as VME system controller, integrates dual EPROM firmware sockets, six 32-bit programmable timers and hardware watchdog circuit. The built-in firmware monitor supports serial console debugging, flash boot and network boot setup, with remote reset and pause control function. 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 stable high-speed data transmission on the VME backplane. The MC68060 superscalar architecture delivers excellent real-time computing capability to handle motion control, high-speed data acquisition and complex algorithm processing tasks. It provides four EIA-232D serial channels for console configuration and peripheral communication, SCSI interface for legacy storage connection and AUI Ethernet port for host communication. Users can install communication, analog and digital I/O mezzanine modules through dual IndustryPack slots, and match it with other VMEbus I/O and acquisition modules to build customized embedded control systems. Optimized PCB layout suppresses electromagnetic interference, and it maintains stable compatibility with VxWorks 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 RISC high-speed calculation, ECC memory protection, 60MHz CPU, 32MB SDRAM, SCSI storage, Ethernet communication and dual IndustryPack expansion capability. Typical application scenarios include VME rack main CPU replacement, modular multi-function data acquisition system maintenance and legacy automation platform retrofit. Automation integrators select this Motorola VME172PA-652SE for its MC68060 60MHz,32MB ECC SDRAM configuration, serial ports,SCSI,Ethernet,IndustryPack.
