MVME2301-900

Main features and advantages:

Choosing the Motorola MVME2301-900 delivers distinct advantages for engineers working on specialized, space-constrained systems. Its dedicated coprocessor ensures that critical real-time tasks—such as precision timing in robotic assembly or rapid response in safety-critical control loops—are executed without latency, even when the main processor is handling data logging or communication. This separation enhances system reliability, a key benefit in applications where downtime is costly or dangerous. The Motorola MVME2301-900’s extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 85°C) allows it to operate in environments that would disable standard compact modules, from Arctic oil fields to desert solar installations, reducing the need for expensive environmental enclosures. For facilities with mixed 3U and 6U systems, its backward compatibility with MVME2100 peripherals and MVME2301 software tools simplifies integration, allowing engineers to leverage existing infrastructure and expertise.
