MVME2100

Main features and advantages:

Choosing the Motorola MVME2100 delivers distinct advantages for engineers working with space-constrained systems. Its 3U form factor reduces the physical footprint by over 50% compared to 6U modules, making it suitable for tight enclosures in equipment like mobile cranes, compact robotic arms, or portable test rigs. Despite its size, the Motorola MVME2100 doesn’t sacrifice processing power, ensuring that critical control loops—such as those regulating hydraulic pressure in mobile machinery or conveyor speeds in small-scale manufacturing—remain responsive and accurate. Its low power draw (18W max) also reduces heat generation, simplifying thermal management in enclosed spaces where airflow is limited, which in turn lowers the risk of overheating-related failures. For facilities with mixed 3U and 6U backplanes, the MotorolaMVME2100 offers seamless interoperability, allowing engineers to standardize on a single vendor for both compact and full-size processing needs.

Application areas:

The Motorola MVME2100 is deployed in applications where space efficiency and reliability are equally critical. In agricultural machinery, such as precision irrigation systems, it serves as the control core, processing data from soil moisture sensors and weather stations to regulate water flow—all within the tight electrical enclosures of mobile equipment. Its rugged design withstands the vibration and temperature swings common in outdoor agricultural settings. In laboratory automation for pharmaceutical research, the Motorola MVME2100 manages compact liquid handling robots, coordinating syringe movements and barcode scanners in benchtop systems where space is at a premium. Its precise timing ensures accurate reagent dosing, critical for experiment reproducibility. Additionally, in railway signaling systems, it processes data from track sensors and GPS modules to control switch mechanisms, fitting into the limited space of trackside enclosures while operating reliably in harsh weather conditions.
