Functional Description

The 01-W3394F-03F integrates a PCI-to-VME bridge (Tundra Universe) for efficient data transfer. Boot firmware supports loading from Flash, network, or IDE storage. The module includes a programmable interrupt controller and DMA capabilities for high-performance data movement. Diagnostic LEDs on the front panel indicate power, status, and VMEbus activity. The real-time clock is battery-backed to maintain system time during power loss.

Applications

• Industrial automation and process control.

• Data acquisition and monitoring systems.

• Telecommunications equipment (base stations, switches).

• Military command and control systems.

• Test and measurement instrumentation.

Software and Integration

The module supports VxWorks, Linux, and QNX with available BSPs. The PMC slot enables expansion with additional Ethernet, serial, or data acquisition modules. The module can be used as a VMEbus system controller or as a slave processor in multi-board systems. Development tools include GNU toolchains and integrated development environments.

Certifications

• CE, FCC Class A.

• RoHS compliant.

• Designed to meet industrial shock and vibration standards.
