MVME162-220
- High Reliability: Industrial-grade components and a rugged design ensure continuous operation in extreme temperatures and vibration-prone environments.
- Flexible Expansion: Supports PMC modules for custom I/O configurations (e.g., Ethernet, CANbus, or analog/digital I/O).
- Energy Efficiency: Low-power architecture (≤15W typical) reduces heat dissipation and operational costs.
- Real-Time Performance: Hard real-time capabilities with VxWorks, Linux, or Windows Embedded support.
- Long Lifecycle Support: Backed by GE Fanuc’s legacy of industrial computing, ensuring compatibility with older systems and long-term availability.
Industries: Manufacturing, oil and gas, power generation, transportation, and aerospace.
典型应用场景:
- Factory Automation: Controls robotic assembly lines with sub-millisecond response times.
- Energy Management: Monitors and optimizes power distribution in smart grids.
- Transportation Systems: Powers real-time traffic control systems in railways.
案例: A European automotive plant integrated the MVME162-220 into its welding robot network. The module’s real-time processing and PMC-based I/O expansion reduced downtime by 20% and improved weld quality through precise motion control.
Compared to similar industrial computing modules, the MVME162-220 offers:
- Superior Compatibility: Native support for VMEbus and PMC, ensuring backward compatibility with legacy systems.
- Extended Temperature Range: Operates reliably in -40°C to +85°C, surpassing standard commercial-grade modules (0°C to +50°C).
- Higher Expansion Slots: Two PMC slots vs. one in many 竞品,enabling more flexible I/O configurations.

MVME162-220
- Compatibility: Verify VMEbus and PMC module requirements (e.g., PCIe vs. PCI).
- Environment: Ensure the operating temperature (-40°C to +85°C) matches site conditions.
- Performance Needs: Balance processor speed (667 MHz) with memory (1 GB) for real-time vs. data-intensive tasks.
- Budget: Consider long-term costs (e.g., lifecycle support vs. upfront price of lower-spec alternatives).
- Installation: Use ESD (electrostatic discharge) protection during handling.
- Cooling: Ensure adequate airflow in enclosed cabinets (max. 85°C ambient).
- Software: Validate OS compatibility (e.g., VxWorks 6.9, Linux 3.10).
- Maintenance: Schedule annual inspections for dust accumulation and connector integrity.
