PowerPlus VME series
The Emerson Network Power PMCspan board allows users to customize their exact I/O
requirements with Emerson’s VME-based CPU modules designed around the PowerPlus
architecture.
When a PMCspan board is coupled with an Emerson processor module, the system
provides up to six PCI Mezzanine Cards (PMCs), more expansion capability than any
other VME-bus processor module. Each PMCspan board supports either two single
wide or one double-wide PMC. By stacking PMCspan boards onto a processor module,
a total of four additional single-wide PMCs can be added to Emerson’s compute
engines – either today or as future application growth demands.
The PMCspan is a standard 6U single-slot VMEbus module that links to its host board
via a PCI expansion connector. It supports both front panel and P2 I/O access for
customer supplied PMCs
ProDuCT oFFErIng
In order to support the increased PCI bus loading
associated with additional PMCs, PMCspan uses the
PLX6150. This PCI-to-PCI interface bridge supports a
32-bit primary bus interface and a 32-bit secondary
bus interface. PMCspan mates directly with the host
CPU via the separate PCI expansion connector.
When the maximum of two PMCspan modules are stacked
together, the top board does not require a second PCI
to-PCI interface bridge. Software views this secondary
module as an extension to the primary PMCspan.
