The Emerson/Motorola 01-W3199F-01C is a P2 5-row adapter board with integrated cable designed to interface VME host modules with peripheral I/O devices in VMEbus systems. This transition module routes serial, parallel, Ethernet, and SCSI signals from compatible single board computers to external connectors, enabling flexible I/O connectivity across multiple protocol standards. The 5-row configuration supports 16-bit SCSI and PMC I/O expansion.
## Technical Specifications
**Connectors & Interfaces**
• P2 connector: 5-row DIN, 160-pin backplane mount
• Serial ports: Two DB-9 connectors (asynchronous EIA-574 DTE); two HD-26 connectors (sync/async configurable)
• Configurable serial ports 3 & 4: EIA-232, EIA-530, V.35, or X.21 DCE/DTE via Serial Interface Modules (SIMs)
• Parallel port: IEEE 1284 compliant, passive circuitry
• Ethernet port: 10Base-T or 100Base-TX via RJ-45, passive circuitry
• SCSI interface: 68-pin female connector (J1) for 16-bit SCSI
• PMC I/O: Supported via 5-row P2 configuration
• SIM connectors: Two 60-pin connectors for serial interface module installation
**Compatibility**
• Host VME modules: MVME260x, MVME270x, MVME360x, MVME460x single board computers
• Backplane: 5-row DIN chassis
• SCSI devices: 16-bit support; additional MVME712B transition module may be required for dedicated SCSI operation
## Key Features
Multi-protocol I/O aggregation in a single 5-row P2 adapter eliminates the need for multiple transition modules. User-configurable serial ports accept hot-swappable SIM modules for protocol selection without board redesign. Passive Ethernet and parallel port circuitry reduces power consumption and eliminates signal regeneration delays.
## Typical Applications
Serial data acquisition and logging systems, industrial Ethernet gateways, legacy SCSI device bridging, multi-port communication servers in embedded VMEbus platforms.
