The EMERSON MVME7100-0171 is built around the high-speed PowerPC MPC8548E processor, offering significant computational throughput for embedded applications. As a VMEbus single board computer, it is designed to serve as the master controller in complex rack-mounted systems. Its architecture is optimized for real-time operating systems (RTOS), ensuring deterministic response times for critical tasks.
Reliability in data handling is achieved through ECC (Error Correcting Code) DDR2 memory, which minimizes the risk of system crashes due to memory errors. The MVME7100-0171 includes substantial on-board flash memory for boot code and application storage, providing a complete computing solution on a single board.

The board features a rich set of I/O interfaces, including Gigabit Ethernet ports, serial ports, and USB connectivity. It supports PMC (PCI Mezzanine Card) and XMC slots, allowing users to customize the board with specialized high-speed I/O or communication modules. This flexibility makes it a staple in defense and semiconductor manufacturing applications.
The MVME7100-0171 fully supports the VME64 standard, providing high-bandwidth data transfer across the system backplane. This allows for seamless communication with other VME-based peripheral cards, such as high-speed analog inputs or motor control modules. Its rugged design ensures it operates reliably in high-vibration and extreme temperature environments.
Emerson (formerly Artesyn) has designed the MVME7100-0171 to provide a smooth migration path for users of older VME boards. Its combination of modern processing power and legacy interface support makes it an ideal choice for life-extension programs in long-term infrastructure projects.
