AET-3047 Motorola MVME Frame Configuration
Motorola AET-3047 is a high-performance industrial control module belonging to the MVME2600 series. Its frame configuration is based on the Motorola PowerPC VME/VM64 processor architecture, with a design that emphasizes compatibility, scalability, and adaptability to harsh environments. The detailed configuration content is as follows:
- Core Hardware Foundation Configuration
- Processor and Memory Configuration: It is equipped with an MPC60x - type processor, which is matched with a flexible cache configuration. The optional K64L cache capacities include 16KB/32KB/64KB or 128KB/256KB, enabling it to efficiently handle data processing tasks. In terms of memory, the module can support a maximum of 512MB ECC DRAM on-board memory to ensure stable data storage during high-load operations, and is also equipped with 8MB on-board flash memory for storing basic programs and configuration parameters.
- Interface Expansion Configuration: The interface design is highly versatile. It has a 32 - bit PCI bus local DMA interface, as well as 8 - bit or 16 - bit fast/slow SC - 2 bus interfaces, which can meet the high-speed data transmission needs between different bus devices. Additionally, it is equipped with common parallel interfaces, floppy disk interfaces, keyboard and mouse interfaces for basic operation and peripheral connection. For industrial communication, it is configured with an Ethernet transceiver interface and supports multiple communication protocols such as Modbus and Profibus, facilitating data interaction with upper - level control systems and lower - level on-site devices. There are also 8 digital input channels and 4 relay output channels to achieve reliable connection with sensors, actuators and other equipment.
- VME Bus - Related Matching ConfigurationAs part of the MVME series, the AET - 3047 module is compatible with the VME frame's standard slot layout and can be integrated into VME crates for use. Similar to other MVME modules, when connected to a VME crate, it can cooperate with the crate's backplane bus to realize signal and power supply sharing with other VME - compliant modules. If multiple VME crates need to be expanded, it can be configured with SBS technologies 412 - 1 VME bus interconnection modules (set as master - slave through jumpers). The AET - 3047 can be deployed in the master crate and work with the interconnection module to transmit address and data signals across crates.
- Software and Protocol Configuration
- Communication Protocol Compatibility: In addition to supporting conventional industrial communication protocols, it also has wireless communication capabilities. It supports Bluetooth 5.0, along with BLE, Zigbee, and Thread protocols. The maximum communication distance can reach 100 meters depending on the environment, which is convenient for wireless data transmission in scenarios where wired connection is difficult.
- Configuration Operability: It adopts standardized interfaces and protocols. Users can configure the module through common industrial control software. The configuration changes of related bus parameters can refer to the operation logic of similar MVME modules. For example, after modifying parameters through configuration tools, the new settings can take effect by resetting the module. Moreover, it supports various industrial control programming languages, facilitating users to write control logic and adjust configuration parameters according to actual application requirements.
- Environmental Adaptation and Physical Configuration
- Harsh Environment Adaptation Configuration: The working temperature range is designed to be -40℃ to 85℃, which allows it to operate stably in extreme temperature environments such as high - cold outdoor industrial sites and high - temperature workshops. Some sources mention that it has an IP67 environmental rating, which can resist dust and water immersion and is suitable for harsh working conditions in fields like petrochemical and aerospace.
- Physical Installation Configuration: Although there are discrepancies in some physical parameter data, it adopts a design that is compatible with the MVME series' standard installation specifications. It can be installed in matching control cabinets or VME crates. The modular structural design also makes it easy to disassemble, assemble, and maintain, and it can be combined with other expansion modules of the MVME2600 series to form a customized control system framework.
