The Motorola MVME162-011A is an enhanced 32-bit VMEbus embedded controller designed for military-grade industrial automation systems. Building on the legacy of MVME162 series, this model features 64MB ECC-protected DRAM and integrated SCSI-2 interface, making it ideal for high-throughput data acquisition in aerospace test stands and naval combat systems. The MVME162-011A utilizes a Motorola MC68040 processor clocked at 40MHz with 8KB cache, delivering 21 MIPS performance for real-time motion control applications.
As part of Motorola’s rugged computing platform, this controller supports VME64x backplane architecture with 160MB/s sustained data transfer through its dual DMA channels. The extended -40°C to +85°C operating range with conformal-coated PCB enables deployment in arctic exploration vehicles and desert oil drilling rigs. Its front-panel LED matrix provides real-time diagnostics for CPU load, memory errors, and thermal status in nuclear power plant control systems.
Motorola MVME162-011A Enhanced 32-bit VMEbus embedded controller
Key Features and Advantages:
Enhanced data handling: The MVME162-011A’s SCSI-2 interface supports daisy-chaining of up to 7 industrial tape drives or HDDs, ideal for flight data recorder systems. Its 64MB memory configuration enables buffering of 12-hour continuous sensor data in seismic monitoring applications.
Mission-critical reliability: Triple-redundant power inputs with automatic failover ensure 24/7 operation in air traffic control radars. The gold-plated VME P1/P2 connectors withstand 500+ mating cycles in vibration-intensive environments.
Legacy compatibility: Onboard VxWorks BSP supports migration from MVME167 systems. The PMC expansion site accommodates modern interfaces like 10/100 Ethernet (PPMC-100 module) while maintaining legacy I/O support.
