Function Features

  • PowerPC 7455 G4 Processing: 1.0 GHz clock with AltiVec 128-bit SIMD delivers accelerated signal processing for radar, medical imaging, and industrial control.
  • ECC Memory Protection: 512MB ECC DDR SDRAM detects and corrects single-bit errors, preventing data corruption in harsh environments.
  • Dual Gigabit Ethernet: Two 10/100/1000Base-T ports enable redundant network connectivity and high-speed data transfer (e.g., SCADA/DCS integration).
  • VME64x Backplane: 64-bit/66MHz interface with 2eSST support ensures compatibility with legacy VME systems and modern high-speed backplanes.
  • PMC Expansion: 64-bit PCI PMC slot supports I/O customization (analog I/O, Fibre Channel, video capture) with optional PMCspan for multi-module setups.
  • Dual Serial Ports: RS-232/422 (software-configurable) enable connectivity to legacy sensors, actuators, and industrial controllers.
  • USB 2.0 Support: Host/device mode for peripheral connectivity and field upgrades without system shutdown.
  • Wide Temperature Operation: -40°C to +85°C range ensures reliable performance in industrial, military, and aerospace environments.
  • PowerPlus II Architecture: 582MB/s memory read and 640MB/s burst write bandwidth deliver full PCI throughput (264MB/s) without memory bottlenecks.
  • Long-Term Availability: GE’s legacy support and VME ecosystem compatibility guarantee 10+ year product lifecycles for embedded systems.
  • Watchdog & RTC: On-board watchdog timer triggers system reset on faults; real-time clock maintains accurate time for event logging and scheduling.

Application Scenarios

  • Industrial Automation: Core controller for PLCs, DCS, and robotics; processes 100+ sensor inputs in real time (e.g., automotive assembly lines, oil & gas refineries) with deterministic latency.
  • Military & Aerospace: Embedded computing for avionics, radar systems, and unmanned vehicles; meets MIL-STD-810G for shock, vibration, and temperature extremes.
  • Telecommunications: Base station controllers and network routers; handles Gigabit Ethernet traffic and protocol conversion (SS7, ATM) with low latency.
  • Medical Equipment: Image processing for CT/MRI scanners and patient monitoring systems; ECC memory ensures data integrity for diagnostic accuracy.
  • Energy & Utilities: Substation automation and grid control; processes IEC 61850 GOOSE/MMS messages and integrates with SCADA systems via Modbus TCP.
  • Transportation: Train control systems (TCMS) and traffic management; VME64x backplane supports redundant communication for safety-critical operations.
  • Aerospace: Satellite on-board computers and launch vehicle telemetry; low-power PowerPC 7455 optimizes battery life for space missions.
  • Legacy System Retrofit: Direct replacement for aging VME SBCs; preserves existing backplane infrastructure while upgrading processing power and I/O capabilities.
