The Motorola MVME162-210 appears to be an embedded controller designed for industrial automation applications likely in the 1990s based on available information. Here’s a breakdown of what I found:
Function:
- The MVME162-210 likely managed and monitored various functionalities within industrial machinery or processes [multiple sources].
- It integrated a microprocessor, memory, and Input/Output (I/O) capabilities within a form factor suitable for industrial environments [multiple sources].
Features (limited information available):
- Specific details about the processor, memory capacity, and I/O options are difficult to confirm due to the age of the product. They were likely designed to meet the requirements of industrial automation at that time [multiple sources].
- Input/Output (I/O) capabilities likely allowed connection to sensors, actuators, and other industrial devices for process control [common feature for embedded controllers].
Applications (possible uses):
- Given its purpose as an embedded controller, the MVME162-210 could have been used in various industrial settings, including:
- Factory automation systems (e.g., conveyor belts, robots) [common application]
- Process control systems in manufacturing or power plants [common application]
- Data acquisition systems for monitoring industrial processes [common application]
Finding more information:
While the MVME162-210 might be an older product, here are some resources that might be helpful:
- Motorola/Freescale Documentation Archives (limited success likely): Motorola’s computer and embedded systems division was acquired by Freescale Semiconductor. Their archived documentation might have a datasheet or manual, but information for such an older product may be scarce. You can search their archives here (though success might be limited): [invalid URL freescale semiconductor documentation archive ON freescale.com]
