Product Parameters and Specifications

• Processor: The VMIVME-7700 typically features Intel-based processors. A common choice is an Intel Pentium or Pentium MMX processor, but variants with higher or lower performance processors can be configured.
• Form Factor: VME 6U form factor, which is standard for high-performance, ruggedized computing in embedded systems.
• Memory:
  • RAM: Configurations include up to 128 MB of SDRAM, though custom configurations may offer more.
  • Non-volatile memory: Flash memory for storage and configuration storage.
• I/O Ports:
  • Dual Ethernet ports for network connectivity.
  • Multiple serial ports (RS-232/RS-422/RS-485).
  • Parallel ports.
  • Support for optional SCSI or IDE storage.
• Graphics: Built-in graphics capability for display output, commonly using an onboard VGA controller.
• Expansion: Supports additional I/O boards or mezzanine cards through the VME backplane.
• Bus Interface: VMEbus for communication with other VME-compatible devices. The VMIVME-7700 offers high-speed bus operations and can be used for real-time and non-real-time processing tasks.
• Operating System Support: Compatible with several operating systems, including VxWorks, Windows, and Linux. Custom OS configurations are possible for specific applications.
• Cooling: Designed with heat dissipation capabilities to operate in harsh environments.
• Power: Typically operates at +5V and +12V through the VMEbus.
• Compatibility: It integrates with other systems in the VMEbus ecosystem, making it versatile for systems with additional specialized I/O or hardware needs.
