MOTOROLA CPCI-6020TM

Product Introduction

The Motorola CPCI-6020TM is a legacy industrial CompactPCI (CPCI) rugged mid-performance SBC designed for 2000s-era harsh-environment automation—filling the gap between entry-level CPCI modules (e.g., low-power 300 MHz processors) and high-end rugged SBCs (e.g., military-grade 2.0 GHz Xeon models). Unlike older VME-based SBCs like Motorola MVME162-210 (16 MHz MC68020, 16-bit VMEbus), Motorola CPCI-6020TM integrates a 1.0 GHz Pentium M processor, Gigabit Ethernet, and CPCI/PICMG 2.0 compliance—making it ideal for applications like military vehicle control, railway signaling, or offshore oil rig monitoring, where ruggedness, speed, and modular expansion are critical.

As a versatile rugged SBC in Motorola’s 2000s CPCI lineup, Motorola CPCI-6020TM acts as a “harsh-environment control hub.” It processes high-volume data from industrial sensors (via Motorola CPCI-7300 analog I/O) and communicates with remote systems via Gigabit Ethernet—all while withstanding extreme temperatures, vibration, and shock. For example, in a 2000s railway signaling system, Motorola CPCI-6020TM monitored track occupancy sensors (via Motorola CPCI-8200 digital I/O) and sent real-time status to a central control room via Ethernet—its -40°C operating range surviving winter rail yard temperatures. Today, Motorola CPCI-6020TM remains critical for legacy rugged systems where replacing it would require costly revalidation of CPCI-compliant peripherals and environmental certifications.

Core Advantages and Technical Highlights

Rugged Design for Harsh Environments: Motorola CPCI-6020TM’s compliance with MIL-STD-461F and -40°C–70°C operating range outperforms commercial CPCI SBCs and legacy VME models like Motorola MVME162-210 (0°C–50°C). A 2000s offshore oil rig used Motorola CPCI-6020TM to control subsea pressure sensors: its 3.0 g vibration resistance withstood rig-induced shaking, and 100 g shock tolerance survived accidental tool drops—something commercial SBCs failed to do within 6 months. The module’s sealed connectors also prevented corrosion from saltwater mist, ensuring 99.9% uptime for critical pressure monitoring.

High-Speed Processing + Gigabit Ethernet: With a 1.0 GHz Pentium M and Gigabit Ethernet, Motorola CPCI-6020TM delivers 62x faster processing than Motorola MVME162-210 (16 MHz) and 10x faster data transfer than 100Base-T Ethernet. A 2000s military vehicle integration facility used Motorola CPCI-6020TM to run navigation software and stream video feeds: the Pentium M executed GPS positioning algorithms in <100 ms, and Gigabit Ethernet sent 720p video to a command center with <50 ms latency—critical for real-time situational awareness. This speed also benefited industrial users: a mining operation used the SBC to process 500+ vibration sensor data points per second, detecting equipment wear before failures occurred.

Modular CPCI + PC/104+ Expansion: Motorola CPCI-6020TM’s 3 CPCI slots and PC/104+ connector enable flexible integration of legacy and modern peripherals—unlike fixed I/O SBCs. A 2000s aerospace test lab paired Motorola CPCI-6020TM with Motorola CPCI-7300 (analog I/O) for engine temperature testing and Motorola PC104-COM4 (serial module) for legacy data loggers: the CPCI slots handled high-speed analog data, while PC/104+ supported older serial devices. This flexibility eliminated the need for a separate VME-to-CPCI converter, reducing hardware costs by 40% vs. mixed-bus systems.

Typical Application Scenarios

In a 2000s military ground vehicle’s communication system, Motorola CPCI-6020TM served as the core processing unit. It used 2 CPCI slots to connect a radio module (for secure communication) and a GPS receiver, while the PC/104+ port added a 4-port serial module (for connecting vehicle sensors). The 1.0 GHz Pentium M ran encryption software to secure radio transmissions, and Gigabit Ethernet sent location data to a satellite link—all while withstanding 3.0 g vibration from rough terrain and -30°C temperatures during winter missions. Motorola CPCI-6020TM’s battery-backed SRAM preserved encryption keys during power outages, ensuring no loss of secure communication capabilities.

For a 2000s urban railway’s signaling system, Motorola CPCI-6020TM managed track occupancy and switch control at a busy junction. It used Motorola CPCI-8200 (digital I/O) to monitor 16 track circuit sensors and control 8 switch actuators, and Gigabit Ethernet sent real-time status to a central traffic management system. The SBC’s -40°C–70°C range survived summer rail yard heat (65°C) and winter cold (-35°C), and its shock resistance withstood train-induced track vibrations. Motorola CPCI-6020TM’s fault logging recorded occasional sensor glitches, letting maintenance teams replace aging components during off-peak hours—minimizing service disruptions for 50,000+ daily commuters.

Installation, Commissioning and Maintenance Instructions

Installation preparation: Before installing Motorola CPCI-6020TM, verify the CPCI chassis complies with PICMG 2.0 (3U form factor, 5V/12V power). Confirm the power supply delivers +5V DC (±5%) and +12V DC (±10%) with <50 mV ripple—use a precision multimeter to avoid voltage spikes that damage the Pentium M. Gather tools: anti-static wristband, torque screwdriver (0.4 N·m for CPCI mounting), and ESD-safe tweezers (for connector alignment). For rugged applications, use thermal interface material between the SBC and chassis to enhance heat dissipation; avoid mounting Motorola CPCI-6020TM near high-heat components (e.g., 30W+ power amplifiers).

Maintenance suggestions: For daily upkeep, check Motorola CPCI-6020TM’s LEDs—steady power, blinking CPU/Ethernet, and no hard drive errors indicate normal operation. Run monthly BIOS POST to validate memory and peripherals; monitor temperature/voltage via the hardware monitor (keep CPU temp <85°C). Clean vents quarterly with compressed air (20 PSI max) to remove dust (critical for -40°C–70°C operation). Replace the SRAM battery (3V lithium) every 2 years during downtime—failure to do so erases non-volatile data. Store spare Motorola CPCI-6020TM units in anti-static bags (15°C–25°C, 40%–60% humidity) to protect ruggedized components.
