| Processor | - Motorola 68040 CPU: 32-bit microprocessor with integrated FPU (Floating-Point Unit), operating at 25 MHz.
- Supports virtual memory and multitasking for real-time operating systems (e.g., VxWorks, QNX). |
| Memory Configuration | - RAM: 8 MB (expandable to 16 MB) of 32-bit fast SRAM.
- ROM: 2 MB EPROM (erasable programmable read-only memory) for firmware storage.
- VRAM: 256 KB for graphics display (optional video interface). |
| VMEbus Interface | - Compliant with VMEbus Standard (IEEE 1014).
- Supports DMA (Direct Memory Access) and interrupts for high-speed data transfer between modules. |
| I/O and Communication | - Serial Ports: 2 × RS-232/422/485 ports (16550 UART compatible) for legacy device connectivity.
- Ethernet (Optional): Add-on modules (e.g., MVME167) required for 10BASE-T Ethernet; not integrated. |
| Expansion Slots | - 1 × 32-bit PMC (PCI Mezzanine Card) slot for adding functionality (e.g., analog I/O, CAN bus). |
| Power Supply | - Input: +5 V DC (from VMEbus backplane), typical power consumption ~10 W.
- Reverse polarity and overcurrent protection. |
| Operating System Support | - Real-time OS (RTOS) compatible: VxWorks, LynxOS, OS-9, and UNIX variants.
- Programming languages: C, assembly, and high-level industrial control languages. |
