Backwards Compatibility

The MVME5500 continues the direction that Emerson

started with the MVME5100 series of providing a

migration path from Emerson’s embedded controllers

and single-board computers (SBCs) to a single

platform. This migration path enables OEMs to

support varying I/O requirements with the same base

platform, simplifying part number maintenance,

technical expertise requirements and sparing.

The MVME5500 series offers customers a migration

path from the MVME2300. MVME2400. MVME2600.

MVME2700 and MVME5100 boards to allow them to

take advantage of features such as the MPC7455

processor, Gigabit Ethernet and dual independent

33/66 MHz PMC sites.
