The MVME5500 utilizes the MPC7457 processor running at 1 GHz, which is ideal for

data intensive applications. The MVME5500 provides more than just better processor

performance; it also provides balanced performance from the processor, memory,

dual independent local buses and I/O subsystems.

The powerful Marvell system controller, with support for a 133 MHz host bus and

a 133 MHz SDRAM memory bus, is well matched to the high speed processor. To

match the system I/O to the outstanding processor performance, the MVME5500

provides dual 64-bit, 33/66 MHz PCI buses. Each PCI bus has a PMC site supporting

cards running at 33 or 66 MHz. The Universe II VME interface and PMCspan connec

tor are isolated from the PMC sites on a dedicated 33 MHz PCI bus segment so that

both PMC sites are capable of 66 MHz operation.

The MVME5500 also offers a Gigabit Ethernet interface, a 10/100BaseTX Ethernet

interface and two serial ports. All of this adds up to a set of well-balanced,

high-performance subsystems for unparalleled performance.

The MVME5500 is the flagship of our VME product line that enables

higher levels of performance in a single VMEbus slot

• MPC7457 PowerPC ® processor at 1 GHz

• 512KB of on-chip L2 cache and 2MB of L3 cache

The Emerson Network Power MVME5500 series is designed to meet the needs of

OEMs including those in defense and aerospace, industrial automation and medical

imaging market segments. Customers looking for a technology refresh for their

application while maintaining backward compatibility with their existing VMEbus

infrastructure can upgrade to the MVME5500 series and take advantage of the

enhanced performance features.

Introduction

Emerson Process Management continues its long-standing

excellence in providing solid control solutions with the S-Series

DeltaV™ Controller Interface for PROVOX I/O and DeltaV SQ

or SX Controllers. You can transition to DeltaV controllers

and connect to PROVOX I/O already installed in your plant,

continuing to maximize your original PROVOX I/O investment.

The DeltaV Controller Interface for PROVOX I/O can be used

with both Control I/O and Distributed (MUX) I/O, which

connects using the serial buffer card. The interface to PROVOX

I/O uses an SQ or SX controller and a DeltaV power supply

installed on the PROVOX I/O Carrier.

With this solution, PROVOX I/O support is integrated into

standard DeltaV engineering and diagnostics, including DeltaV

Explorer and Control Studio.

Other Protocols Supported

The DeltaV S-series Serial Card can support other serial

driver protocols downloaded directly into the serial card.

Custom drivers available from Emerson for the DeltaV serial

card include:

• Allen-Bradley Data Highway Plus

• Mettler Weight Scale

• Redundant Enhanced Modbus

• Sartorius Weight Scale

Call your local sales office for availability of custom drivers.

An alarm on the integrity error for the primary card notifies

the operator of a switchover. The backup card is also

monitored for integrity alarms.

The system automatically commissions and downloads a

replacement standby card. In safe areas, failed cards can

be replaced under power. In hazardous areas, appropriate

installation procedures must be followed.

The redundant pair can be manually configured or

Autosensed. The redundant terminal block couples the

two cards as one redundant pair that when Autosensed,

the DeltaV system automatically recognizes the redundant

pair of cards and assigns a device signal tag (DST) to the

datasets on the primary card (Odd numbered card).

Switchover time for redundant I/O is minimal, and the

process will be undisturbed. Output channel behavior

on switch over can be configured to resend outputs on a

switchover. This can be coupled with Output Read back to

ensure the output channels are driven to the desired state

upon switchover.
