The Emerson MVME61006E-0163R is a high-performance VMEbus single-board computer (SBC) engineered for mission-critical industrial automation applications. As the flagship model in Emerson’s MVME6100 series, this ruggedized computing platform delivers 2.4 GHz dual-core processing power paired with 4GB DDR3 ECC memory, specifically designed for nuclear power plant safety monitoring systems and oil refinery distributed control systems (DCS). The MVME61006E-0163R supports VITA 31.1 Gigabit Ethernet backplane connectivity, enabling deterministic data exchange in high-speed train signaling networks.
Optimized for extended lifecycle operations, the Emerson MVME61006E-0163R features -40°C to +85°C operational tolerance with MIL-STD-202H compliant shock/vibration resistance, making it ideal for offshore drilling rig control cabinets. Its dual PMC/XMC expansion sites support legacy I/O modules while providing migration paths to PCIe-based industrial cameras in semiconductor wafer inspection systems. The board’s secure boot architecture meets NERC CIP requirements for smart grid substation automation.
