VMEbus support: Full A32/D64 master-slave interface, including system controller capabilities and high-performance DMA (supporting VME D64 and local bus bursts)
-
I/O Capabilities:
-
Up to four IndustryPack (IP) module slots for customizable I/O expansion
-
Built-in dual serial ports (RS-232).
-
Ethernet (via Intel 82596CA chipset) and SCSI interfaces on board, depending on the variant
-
Additional Technical Details
-
Includes a VMEbus Interface ASIC supporting DMA and local bus operations, including performance figures (e.g., up to 42 MB/s bursts at 32 MHz)
-
Designed for embedded industrial applications with robust features and optional reliability enhancements
