Motorola MVME3600-1 – Dual Processor VMEbus Single Board Computer | MVME3600 Series
Engineering Background
The MVME3600-1 is a high-performance dual-processor VMEbus single board computer (SBC) developed by Motorola for mission-critical industrial control, real-time embedded computing, and distributed control system (DCS) applications. Built on the proven MVME3600 platform, it delivers deterministic processing power in harsh industrial environments where reliability and uptime are non-negotiable.
Product Positioning
Designed for procurement engineers and system integrators who require a drop-in replacement or new deployment within VMEbus-based control architectures. The MVME3600-1 is widely deployed in power generation, oil & gas, semiconductor manufacturing, and defense automation systems. Konmask.com supplies verified, traceable units with full pre-shipment inspection.

System Architecture & Signal Flow
The MVME3600-1 interfaces with the VMEbus backplane via the P1/P2 connectors, providing both data and address bus access to the system controller slot or peripheral slots. The dual-processor subsystem handles foreground/background task partitioning, with inter-processor communication managed via shared memory or mailbox registers. I/O expansion is achieved through VMEbus slave modules, enabling modular signal acquisition, analog output, and serial communication cards to be added without modifying the SBC itself.

Technical FAQ
Q: Is the MVME3600-1 compatible with my existing VME chassis?
A: Yes, provided your chassis uses standard 6U VMEbus slots with P1/P2 connectors. Verify slot 1 (system controller) vs. non-controller slot requirements with your chassis documentation.
Q: What RTOS versions are supported?
A: The MVME3600-1 supports VxWorks 5.x/6.x, LynxOS, and bare-metal BSP configurations. Contact us for BSP availability for your specific OS version.
Q: Can I request a specific firmware revision?
A: Yes. Please specify the required firmware/ROM revision in your RFQ. We will confirm availability before order confirmation.
Q: Do you offer warranty on this module?
A: All units carry a 90-day functional warranty. Extended warranty and exchange programs are available for volume orders.
Q: What is the difference between MVME3600-1 and other MVME3600 variants?
A: The “-1” suffix denotes a specific processor configuration and memory option within the MVME3600 family. Contact our technical team for a full variant comparison matrix.
