The Acromag/Xembedded/Xycom XVME-601/5 is a single-height VMEbus processor module built around the Motorola 68010 microprocessor. Designed for industrial automation, data acquisition, and real-time control applications, this board integrates full VMEbus interface capability with configurable clock speeds to meet demanding system throughput and data management requirements in VME-based architectures.
Technical Specifications
• Processor: Motorola 68010
• Form Factor: Single-height (6U) VMEbus board
• Memory: On-board expansion capabilities with support for industry-standard memory modules
• Clock Speed: Configurable speeds optimized for real-time processing
• VMEbus Revision: Supports VMEbus standards and various system configurations
– Key Features
• Full VMEbus interface with standard edge connectors
• Integrated VMEbus arbitration and interrupt handling
• Multiple asynchronous serial ports (RS-232/RS-422/RS-485) for peripheral connectivity
• Optional parallel I/O ports for direct device interfacing
• Support for additional specialized interfaces via specific configurations
– Typical Applications
• Industrial automation and process control systems
• Real-time data acquisition and signal processing
• VME-based instrumentation and monitoring

– Compatibility & Integration
The XVME-601/5 integrates directly into standard VMEbus chassis and backplanes. It supports real-time operating systems and general-purpose operating systems compatible with 68010 architecture, including VxWorks, OS-9, and legacy UNIX variants. Serial connectivity via DB-9 and DB-25 connectors enables integration with RS-232/RS-422/RS-485 peripherals and system interfaces. Implementation requires compatible drivers and application software developed for the 68010 processor within VMEbus environments.
