Motorola MVME5500 Single Board Computers
The MVME5500 series is designed to meet the needs of OEMs, including those in the defence, aerospace, industrial automation and transportation sectors.
Customers who need to maintain backward compatibility with their existing VMEbus infrastructure while updating the technology for their applications can upgrade to the MVME5500 Series and take advantage of its enhanced performance features.
Backward compatibility
The MVME5500 continues the direction SMART EC has taken since the MVME5100 series, which is to provide a migration path from SMART EC’s embedded controllers and single board computers (SBCs) to a single platform.
This migration path enables OEMs to support different I/O requirements using the same base platform, simplifying part number maintenance, expertise requirements and resource sharing.
The MVME5500 series provides customers with dcs-sis.com a migration path from the MVME2300. MVME2400. MVME2600. MVME2700 and MVME5100 boards.
They can take advantage of features such as the MPC7455 processor, Gigabit Ethernet and dual independent 33/66 MHz PMC stations.
Transition Module
The MVME761 Transition Module provides industry-standard connector access to IEEE 1284 parallel, 10BaseT or 100BaseT ports via RJ-45 connectors.
The MVME761 Transition Module provides industry standard connector access to IEEE 1284 parallel, 10BaseT or 100BaseT ports via RJ-45 connectors, asynchronous serial ports configured as EIA-574 DTEs via two DB-9 connectors, and synchronous/synchronous serial ports via two HD-26 connectors.
These serial ports are labelled Serial 3 and Serial 4 on the MVME761 panel.
These serial ports are labelled as Serial 3 and Serial 4 on the MVME761 panel and can be individually configured as EIA-232. DCE or DTE by the user by installing a SMART EC Serial Interface Module (SIM).
The P2 adapter board provides the interface signals for the MVME761 transition module.
There are two separate P2 adapter boards: one for 3-row backplanes and one for 5-row backplanes.
The 3-row P2 adapter board provides connectivity for 8-bit SCSI. The 5-row P2 adapter board supports 16-bit SCSI and PMC I/O.
