6U VME64/VME64x/2eSST Intel® Pentium® M SBC (EOL)

CPC600 offers system developers advantage of maximum utilization of VME 64x parallel bus capabilities with an opportunity to use x86 compatible software components running on thermally efficient longterm available Intel processors. CPC600 architecture is based on Intel® Pentium® M CPUs, and Tundra Semiconductor Tsi148 VME bridging silicon, providing highest parallel bus bandwidth available. Tsi148 supports data rates up to 320 MB/s (2eSST protocol) and is backward compatible with VME32, VME64, and VME64x protocols.

Intel® CPU line with longterm availability starts from ULV Celeron® M processor, 1.0 GHz with thermal budget of as low as 5.5 W that gives an opportunity to use it in systems with natural convection cooling environment, and ends with Pentium® M 1.8 GHz capable to run complex tasks within wide temperature range.

CPC600 employs DDR SDRAM memory with ECC. This function corrects 1-bit errors in 64-bit memory blocks, thus increasing system persistence in environments with unstable power supply, static discharges, high RFI levels, and radiation interference. Maximum memory capacity is 2 GB.

CPC600 has vast communication capabilities - 4 independent Gigabit Ethernet channels, 2 of which are available at the front panel, and the rest 2 are routed to P0 backplane connector according to VITA31.1 standard. CPC600 gives VME system developers a choice of three highspeed communication interconnects - two Gigabit Ethernet and one highest bandwidth VME parallel bus (up to 320 MB/s) - to build the most efficient architecture for data planning, control and management tasks.
CPC600 uses onboard graphics controller for video sig nal output via two independent interfaces, VGA (resolutions up to 2048×1536 at 75 Hz) and LVDS routed to P0 backplane connector and can be available via rear I/O board.

CPC600 storage subsystem includes CompactFlash socket, soldered onboard 32 MB solidstate disk and sites for two 1.8" and 2.5" IDE HDDs, within boundaries of one 4HP slot. CPC60001 has a site, in which either 1.8" HDD or 64-bit PMC module is installed. CРC600-02 is capable to carry additional 2.5" HDD at expense of heatsink size (reduced heatsink size requires more efficient forced system ventilation). Besides, CPC600 has two SATA and one EIDE interfaces accessible via rear I/O board.

To increase running applications reliability, CPC600 is equipped with a number of hardware tools for system monitoring: user programmable baseboard management controller, watchdog timer, supply voltages and temperatures monitoring. All key components of CPC600 including CPU and memory are soldered onboard, thus allowing the board to withstand vibration loads up to 5G and shocks up to 50G.

For customers developing systems for conductive cooling environment Fastwel offers costeffective adaptation of CPC600 with doubled width (8HP) and Rear I/O (Fastwel RIO680).

Fastwel CPC600 supports various operating systems from hard realtime to most commonly used in general industrial automation systems.
