Artesyn PMC-IO-ADAPTER rear transition I/O adapter, routes PMC mezzanine card P4 user I/O signals via VME P2 backplane, matched for MVME6100 / MVME7100 series 6U VME single board computer, extends PMC external signal wiring for embedded control systems.

Product Overview

• Part No: PMC-IO-ADAPTER
• Brand: ARTESYN (Formerly Motorola / Emerson Embedded Computing)

• Category: PMC Rear I/O Transition Adapter PMC-IO-ADAPTER is a dedicated rear transition module designed for MVME6100, MVME7100 series 6U VME single-board computers. It serves as signal routing bridge between VME backplane P2 connector and PMC mezzanine card P4 user I/O interface. The adapter extracts all user-defined I/O signals from PMC slot, breaking signals out to rear panel connectors for external field wiring. It supports single-wide PMC modules, conforms to VITA P35 PMC rear I/O routing specification. It solves the limitation that VME CPU board cannot directly lead out PMC rear I/O signals, widely used to expand serial communication, analog/digital I/O, fieldbus and custom peripheral interfaces on legacy VME control platforms. It is essential spare component for power plant control, industrial real-time automation and test measurement equipment renovation.
