MVME2301

Main features and advantages:

Choosing the Motorola MVME2301 delivers significant advantages for engineers working with space-constrained automation systems. Its multi-core architecture ensures that critical control loops—such as those regulating hydraulic pressure in mobile cranes or temperature in compact industrial ovens—remain responsive even while the module simultaneously processes data for analytics or remote monitoring. This eliminates the need for separate processing units, reducing both hardware costs and potential points of failure. The Motorola MVME2301’s extended temperature range (-40°C to 70°C) allows it to operate reliably in extreme environments, from freezing cold storage facilities to hot factory floors, without requiring expensive climate control measures. For facilities transitioning to smart manufacturing, its dual Gigabit Ethernet ports enable parallel connectivity to both operational networks (for real-time control) and information networks (for data analytics), simplifying the integration of IIoT capabilities into compact systems.

Application areas:

The Motorola MVME2301 is deployed in a range of applications where compact size and high performance are equally critical. In mobile agricultural equipment, such as precision planting machines, it serves as the control core, processing data from GPS modules, soil sensors, and seed flow monitors to optimize planting depth and spacing—all within the tight electrical enclosures of moving machinery. Its rugged design withstands the vibration and temperature fluctuations inherent in this environment. In semiconductor manufacturing cleanrooms, the Motorola MVME2301 manages compact robotic handlers, coordinating arm movements and wafer alignment with micron-level precision while operating within the space constraints of contamination-controlled enclosures. Its low electromagnetic interference (EMI) profile ensures it doesn’t disrupt sensitive wafer inspection equipment. Additionally, in renewable energy systems like solar tracking arrays, it processes data from light sensors and weather monitors to adjust panel angles for maximum efficiency, fitting into the small enclosures of outdoor tracking units.
