PMCSPAN-002 Motorola PMC Carrier Board I/O Expansion Module​

Description

​​Product Overview: Motorola PMCSPAN-002 I/O Expansion Module​​

The ​​Motorola PMCSPAN-002​​ is an ​​I/O expansion module​​ designed for use with Motorola’s VMEbus-based single-board computers (SBCs) and embedded systems. This module provides additional input/output capabilities through a ​​PCI Mezzanine Card (PMC)​​ interface, enabling flexible integration of custom or specialized I/O functions into Motorola’s computing platforms. Typically used in industrial automation, telecommunications, and military applications, the PMCSPAN-002 enhances system scalability and adaptability by allowing users to add tailored I/O solutions without modifying the core computing hardware.

​​Key Features & Benefits​​

​​PMC Interface Compatibility​​:
Utilizes the standardized ​​IEEE 1386 PCI Mezzanine Card (PMC)​​ interface, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of PMC modules for serial communication, digital I/O, analog I/O, or specialized networking functions.

​​Seamless Integration with Motorola SBCs​​:
Designed to work with Motorola’s VMEbus SBCs (e.g., MVME1600/2600/3600 series), providing a streamlined path for expanding I/O capabilities in embedded systems.

​​High-Speed Data Transfer​​:
Supports PCI bus speeds for efficient data exchange between the PMC module and the host SBC, minimizing latency in critical applications.

​​Ruggedized Design​​:
Built to withstand harsh industrial environments, with components rated for extended temperature ranges and resistance to vibration/shock.

​​Flexible Configuration​​:
Allows customization through user-selectable PMC modules, enabling support for protocols such as ​​Serial RS-232/422/485​​, ​​Ethernet​​, ​​CAN bus​​, or ​​digital/analog I/O​​.

​​Hot-Swap Support (Optional)​​:
Some configurations may support hot-swappable PMC modules, reducing downtime during maintenance or upgrades.

​​Technical Specifications​​

​​Typical Applications​​

• ​​Industrial Automation​​: Adding serial ports or digital I/O for PLCs, motor controllers, and sensor interfaces.
• ​​Telecommunications​​: Integrating additional network interfaces (e.g., T1/E1, fiber optic) for base station control.
• ​​Military/Aerospace​​: Supporting ruggedized communication or data acquisition modules in vehicle/avionics systems.
• ​​Medical Equipment​​: Enabling custom I/O for diagnostic devices or imaging systems.
• ​​Transportation Systems​​: Expanding connectivity for railway signaling or traffic control networks.

​​Integration & Configuration​​

​​Host Board Requirements​​:
Must be installed on a compatible Motorola VMEbus SBC (e.g., MVME162, MVME167) with an available PMC site.

​​Software Support​​:
Drivers and configuration tools are typically provided through Motorola’s SDK or third-party RTOS environments (e.g., VxWorks, LynxOS).

​​Mechanical Mounting​​:
Secured to the host SBC via PMC connectors and stabilized with mounting brackets for high-vibration environments.

​​Why Choose the Motorola PMCSPAN-002?​​

• ​​System Scalability​​: Extends the functionality of legacy Motorola VME systems without requiring hardware redesign.
• ​​Proven Reliability​​: Leverages Motorola’s heritage in robust embedded computing for critical applications.
• ​​Modular Flexibility​​: Supports hundreds of commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) PMC modules for rapid prototyping and deployment.
• ​​Legacy System Support​​: Ideal for maintaining/upgrading existing Motorola-based infrastructure.

​​Disclaimer​​:
This product is ​​legacy hardware​​ and may be discontinued. Specifications are based on historical Motorola embedded architecture documentation. Always verify compatibility with host systems and PMC modules using official Motorola/NXP technical resources. Installation and configuration require expertise in VMEbus and PMC standards.
