    Motorola MVME162-220 Dual Height 6U VME Single Board Computer (MC68040 25MHz FPU, Max 8MB DRAM, Ethernet+SCSI+512KB SRAM)
    Manufacturer: Motorola Embedded Systems (Later Emerson Embedded Computing)
    Model: MVME162-220
    Series: MVME162 Dual Height VMEbus Single Board Computer Family
    Type: Double-height 6U VME master CPU board, MC68040 25MHz with integrated FPU, full integrated Ethernet + SCSI + 512KB battery SRAM
    Function: High-performance heavy-load real-time embedded computing core for Honeywell TDC3000 main HM/Global Station, power plant, offshore, railway, defense control racks; dual serial ports, full VME A32/D64 bus master, multi-stage watchdog, battery-backed RTC/NVRAM, support VxWorks, OS-9, pSOS, LynxOS RTOS
    1. Overview
    MVME162-220 is the dual-height enhanced flagship variant of the MVME162 series, distinct from single-height MVME162-10/012/13/512A. It adopts double-height 6U VME mechanical design with larger PCB area for richer memory and peripheral expansion. Equipped with MC68040 25MHz CPU with built-in FPU floating-point unit, supporting complex industrial algorithm floating-point calculation. Standard configuration supports 1/4/8MB parity-protected DRAM, fixed onboard 512KB battery-backed high-speed SRAM, 1MB firmware Flash, integrated Intel 82596CA 10/100Mbps Ethernet, NCR53C710 narrow SCSI storage controller, dual configurable RS232/422 serial ports, MK48T08 8KB NVRAM & TOD real-time clock, multi-level hardware watchdog timer, 8-channel front panel status LEDs and manual RESET/ABORT buttons. No IndustryPack IP expansion slots (differentiated from single-height models), reserved extra PCB area for stable memory operation, widely deployed as main operator station computing motherboard for legacy Honeywell TDC3000 DCS due to stronger floating-point arithmetic and complete network/storage native interfaces. Full A32/D64 D64 VME bus master & DMA burst transmission capability for high-speed inter-board data exchange.

    3. Core Differences vs Single-Height MVME162 Series (10/012/13/512A)
    1. Form Factor: MVME162-220 = Dual-height double 6U slot; others are single-height 6U single slot
    2. Expansion Slot: -220 removes 4×IndustryPack IP slots for larger memory layout; single-height models retain IP expansion
    3. CPU: All top models (-13/-512A/-220) with FPU; -10/-012 use LC040 without FPU
    4. Standard Interfaces: -220 / -13 / -512A integrate Ethernet + SCSI + 512KB SRAM; -012 only Ethernet; -10 no LAN/SCSI/SRAM
    5. Memory Ceiling: -220 max 8MB DRAM; single-height max 4MB DRAM
    6. Positioning: -220 ultra heavy-load main station; -512A single-height high-load main station; -13 medium auxiliary node; -012 light-medium node; -10 low-load background node
    4. Key Features
    • Dual-height large PCB design, support up to 8MB parity DRAM for massive process data caching
    • MC68040 25MHz FPU processor, high-precision floating-point calculation for complex DCS trend & control algorithms
    • Native 10/100 Ethernet + SCSI dual interfaces, complete network & local storage without extra expansion modules
    • Fixed 512KB battery-backed SRAM, zero-loss real-time data cache during power flicker or brief outage
    • Dual configurable serial ports for local debugging console and field serial bus interconnection
    • NVRAM + battery RTC retains full system configuration and accurate clock after power loss
    • Multi-stage hardware watchdog auto-reset eliminates system deadlock in unattended industrial control racks
    • Full A32/D64 D64 VME bus master for ultra-high-speed cross-board data sharing in multi-card heavy-duty rack systems
