Overview of the MVME6100

VMEBUS 2ESST Performance

The 2eSST protocol has been around for some time (a draft standard for trial use was released in 1999 and published as an ANSI standard in 2003).

Until now, however, 2eSST boards could not be used on standard VMEbus backplanes because existing VMEbus

Until now, however, 2eSST boards could not be used on standard VMEbus backplanes because existing VMEbus transceivers could not support the required VMEbus 2eSST signal speeds.

Texas Instruments has developed a new VMEbus transceiver that supports the VMEbus signal switching speeds required by the 2eSST protocol.

Texas Instruments’ new VMEbus transceivers, combined with the Tsi148 VMEbus legacy protocol support

enables customers to integrate the MVME6100 series into existing infrastructure, providing backward compatibility that

This protects customer investments in existing VMEbus boards, backplanes, chassis and software.

Balanced performance

The MVME6100 series delivers more than just faster VMEbus transfer rates, it provides balanced performance across the processor, memory subsystem, local bus and I/O subsystems.

Cooling Requirements

The Motorola MVME162 embedded controller is specified, designed, and

tested to operate at 0° to

55°C (32° to 131°F), forced-air cooling rates can typically be achieved

through the use of a 100 CFM axial fan. Temperature qualification is performed on the

standard Motorola VME System 3000 chassis. Twenty-five watt load boards

were inserted into two plug-in slots, one on each side, adjacent to the board below

tested to simulate a high power density system configuration. The collection of

three axial fans, each rated at 100 CFM, placed directly under the VME

card mounting bracket. Intake air temperature was measured between the fan

assembly and the card cage, where the incoming airflow was first encountered by the

controller during testing. When the controller is subjected to

ambient temperature changes. Critical, high-power case temperatures

density ICs are monitored to ensure that component suppliers do not exceed specifications.

While the exact air flow required for cooling depends on the

ambient air temperature and the type, number, and location of boards and

other heat sources, adequate cooling can usually be achieved with 10 CFM

and 490 LFM flowing through the controller. Less airflow is required to cool the

controller in environments with lower maximum ambient. Lower than more

favourable thermal conditions to operate the controller

Whether caused by a storm, theft or just aging infrastructure, disruptions to performance and the inability to pinpoint abnormalities decreases your productivity and can put personnel in harm’s way. The ACE3600’s processing power provides accurate data analysis and communication for the most critical, and demanding SCADA applications to ensure optimal operation.

A 32-bit processor, running at 200 MHz, delivers real-time processing with support for up to 110 I/O modules, while the substantial Flash and DRAM memory capacity provides plenty of storage for alarms, events, live data, historical reports and files. Both polling and event-based reporting are supported, peer-to-peer or RTU-to-host.

The ACE3600 can also be redundantly configured with a simple Ethernet interconnection. This ensures continuous operation if one CPU or power supply were to fail.

VERSATILE COMMUNICATIONS CAPABILITIES

You want every opportunity to save money and optimize performance. The ACE3600 RTU is designed to use a variety of digital and analog interfaces so you are never locked into proprietary solutions. This flexible communications capability enables the ACE3600 to connect with several local devices, analyze the data and send that information to various other locations. Data transmission and processing is supported simultaneously across multiple communication media and industry standard data protocols including MODBUS, M-OPC, DNP 3 and IEC60870-5-101.

Motorola’s own MDLC data processing protocol is specifically designed to enable more efficient data communication. Transmit data over your narrowband radio network or utilize a broadband network and realize significant data cost savings.

Furthermore, every RTU in your network can act as a communication node and/or a store and forward data repeater to extend radio frequency coverage and save you the much higher cost of a dedicated repeater.
