Product Overview:

The Motorola MVME162-213 is a high-performance dual-height VMEbus module designed for mission-critical industrial automation systems. As part of Motorola’s renowned MVME1600 series, this module features an MC68LC040 microprocessor clocked at 25 MHz, complemented by 4MB parity-protected DRAM and 128KB battery-backed SRAM. The MVME162-213 serves as a robust computing platform in distributed control systems, offering flexible I/O configurations through its dual IndustryPack ports and integrated VMEbus interface.

With 1MB flash memory for firmware storage and multiple communication interfaces including SCSI and dual serial ports (EIA-232-D/EIA-530), the MVME162-213 excels in real-time control applications. Its modular architecture supports system expansion through compatible VME modules like MVME162-220 and MVME162-512, making it a versatile choice for legacy system upgrades.
