It can handle complex computational tasks with ease, making it suitable for industrial control systems, data acquisition systems, and other applications that require real – time processing.

The processor’s architecture enables efficient execution of instructions, resulting in fast response times. In industrial control scenarios, such as controlling automated manufacturing processes, the MPC 604 can quickly process sensor data and send out control signals, ensuring smooth and accurate operation of the production line.

Robust Memory Configuration

Featuring 16 MB of ECC (Error – Correcting Code) DRAM, the MVME2305 – 900 ensures data integrity even in challenging environments. The ECC functionality detects and corrects single – bit errors and can also detect multi – bit errors, which is crucial in applications where data accuracy is non – negotiable. For example, in data acquisition systems where large amounts of sensor data are being stored and processed, the ECC DRAM helps prevent data corruption.

In addition to the DRAM, the module has 5 MB of flash memory. Flash memory is used for storing non – volatile data, such as the system’s firmware. This allows the MVME2305 – 900 to retain important configuration information and startup code even during power outages, ensuring quick and reliable system startups.

Versatile Expansion Capabilities

With two 32/64 – bit PMC (PCI Mezzanine Card) expansion slots, the MVME2305 – 900 offers great flexibility for customizing the system according to specific application requirements. PMC modules can be used to add various functions, such as additional communication interfaces (e.g., CAN bus, USB), analog – to – digital conversion capabilities, or advanced control functions.

The 64 – bit PCI expansion mezzanine connector further enhances the module’s expandability. It enables connection to a wide range of PCI – based peripherals, providing access to high – speed data transfer and advanced I/O capabilities. This makes the MVME2305 – 900 adaptable to different industrial applications, whether it’s in factory automation, aerospace, or military systems.

Typical Application Scenarios

Industrial Automation

In industrial automation settings, the MVME2305 – 900 can serve as the central processing unit for controlling and monitoring automated production lines. It can receive real – time data from sensors placed throughout the production line, such as temperature sensors, pressure sensors, and position sensors. Based on this data, the module can make quick decisions to adjust the operation of various devices, such as motors, valves, and robotic arms.

For example, in a food and beverage manufacturing plant, the MVME2305 – 900 can control the filling process of bottles. It can monitor the liquid level in the bottles, adjust the filling speed based on the type of product, and ensure that the correct amount of product is filled in each bottle. In case of any abnormalities, such as a clogged nozzle or a low – level sensor malfunction, the module can send out alerts to the maintenance team.

Aerospace and Defense

In aerospace and defense applications, reliability and high – performance computing are essential. The MVME2305 – 900 meets these requirements with its robust design and powerful processing capabilities. In aircraft avionics systems, it can be used to control and monitor various functions, such as flight control systems, navigation systems, and communication systems.

In military applications, the module can be used in military vehicles, weapons systems, and communication networks. Its ability to operate in harsh environments, combined with its high – speed data transfer capabilities, makes it suitable for real – time communication and control in military operations. For example, in a military surveillance system, the MVME2305 – 900 can process and analyze data from multiple sensors, such as cameras and radar systems, to provide accurate intelligence to the military personnel.
