B6 - 3U VMEbus 68k Communication Controller

Product Description

The B6 is a cost-optimized single-board CPU board for embedded communication-intensive applications.
The board features an MC68360, which supports all kins of serial protocols including Ethernet, Bitbus, UART etc. This 68020-compatible 32-bit CISC processor is well equipped with 4MB SRAM, 4MB DRAM and 4MB Flash.
Independent of the CISC processor a RISC processor is available for communication tasks. It can serve up to six serial interfaces with 12 DMA channels. The line drivers of the serial interfaces are not fixed by the board. Two serial interfaces are connected directly on the CPU, another four via ribbon cable. They can be adapted to RS232/485 as well as Bitbus and Ethernet.
An M-Module slot is provided for local extensions. It needs a second slot on the VMEbus. A mounting kit is available.
Full multimaster-capability as well as automatic slot-1 functionality make the B6 an interesting choice for many VMEbus applications.
The B6 was designed to be extremely cost-effective. It is also available for harsh environmental requirements.
