The Motorola CPCI-6020TM is a CompactPCI host slot processor board designed for industrial automation applications [multiple sources]. Here’s a breakdown of the information I found:
Function:
- The CPCI-6020TM acts as the central processing unit (CPU) within a CompactPCI system [multiple sources].
- It integrates a processor, memory, and I/O (Input/Output) functionalities suitable for industrial environments requiring reliable performance [multiple sources].
Features (limited information available):
- Specific processor details are difficult to confirm publicly, but it likely utilizes a processor architecture common in industrial automation systems of the era (e.g., PowerPC) [common for CompactPCI CPU boards].
- Memory configurations might vary depending on the specific model variation, but it likely supports a range of DRAM (Dynamic Random-Access Memory) capacities [common for industrial computers].
- I/O capabilities likely include standard ports for connecting to other boards within the CompactPCI system for enhanced functionality [common feature for CompactPCI CPU boards].
Applications (possible uses):
- Given its role as a CPU board in a CompactPCI system, the CPCI-6020TM could have been used in various industrial automation tasks, including:
- Machine control and process automation [common application for industrial computers]
- Data acquisition and control systems (SCADA) [common application for industrial computers]
- Industrial communication and networking [common application for industrial computers]
- Robotics control (possible application)
Finding more information:
While the CPCI-6020TM might be an older product, here are some resources that might be helpful:
- Motorola/Freescale/ARRIS Documentation Archives (limited success likely):
- Motorola’s computer and embedded systems division was acquired by Freescale Semiconductor, which was later acquired by ARRIS. Their archived documentation might have a datasheet or manual for the CPCI-6020TM, but information for such an older product may be scarce. You can try searching the archives of these companies (if available publicly).
