Emerson / Motorola MVME110-1 Microcomputer Description

Functions

A VMEbus single-board computer featuring a Motorola MC68000 or MC68010 microprocessor, providing processing, memory, and I/O capabilities. It includes RAM, ROM, serial ports, parallel ports, and may offer Ethernet connectivity. Designed for real-time embedded applications within a VMEbus chassis environment.

Platforms

68000-based single-board microcomputer compatible with VMEbus architecture, designed for industrial control, telecommunications, and embedded systems applications. Features 8MHz 16-bit Motorola 68000 CPU, up to 512KB DRAM, EPROM sockets, serial I/O ports, parallel I/O capability, and programmable timers. Includes VMEbus interface for multiprocessing environments, supports real-time applications, and offers expansion via VMEbus peripherals. Operates in -40°C to +85°C environments with optional conformal coating for harsh conditions. Functions as a standalone controller or part of larger systems requiring distributed processing architecture.

Applications

Real-time embedded controller module based on the Motorola MC68010 microprocessor operating at 10MHz with onboard memory management unit for address translation. Provides system control functions via VMEbus interface, supporting multi-processing capabilities with shared memory access. Integrates serial I/O ports, timers, and interrupt handlers for industrial automation, process control, and instrumentation systems. Designed for harsh environments requiring reliable operation with extended temperature ranges. Commonly deployed in manufacturing automation, utilities management, transportation systems, and defense applications requiring deterministic computing.

Accessories

Requires a VMEbus chassis or mainframe for operation; interfaces include a 64-pin J1 VMEbus connector (P1) for data and control signals, a 32-pin J2 VMEbus connector (P2) for additional data lines, a 25-pin parallel port (DB25) for printer or general I/O, a 9-pin serial RS-232 port (DB9) for console or terminal connection, and an optional onboard Ethernet interface (RJ-45) if equipped.

Interfaces

VMEbus via P1 (96-pin DIN 41612 C) and P2 (96-pin DIN 41612 C) connectors for backplane integration. Two RS-232 serial ports (26-pin header) for console/data requiring external DB-25/DB-9 breakout. One 16-bit parallel port (26-pin header) for general I/O requiring external Centronics/DB-25 breakout. On-board clock and timers. Requires a VMEbus chassis and backplane.

Specifications

A VMEbus single-board computer for real-time control and embedded computing, operating as a system controller on a VMEbus backplane. It is built upon an 8 MHz MC68000 CPU with up to 2 MB of dual-ported DRAM. Interfacing is provided via two multi-protocol serial ports and a Centronics-compatible parallel printer port. It connects to other VMEbus modules for I/O and processing expansion. Common applications include industrial automation, robotics, and process control systems requiring a robust, modular architecture with A24/A16 addressing and D16/D08 data transfer capabilities.
