01A011-00 (MEN MIKRO)

The A11 is an industrial PowerPC workstation with scalable performance delivering 188 to 629 MIPS. When equipped with the 603e, the A11 delivers excellent price-performance for cost-sensitive applications with a need for high computing power. The board can also be ordered with the 740 PowerPC CPU family for applications where maximum performance is required. A11 is compatible with Motorola's PowerPC computer boards (MVME1600 and MVME2600) and offers I/O compatibility with many existing P2 transition modules from Motorola (MVME712M) and other vendors. The A11 is a complete state-of-the-art single board computer needing only one slot on the VMEbus. It offers fast Ethernet and Ultra-2 SCSI controllers, a large amount of DRAM, Flash and CompactFlash memory. Four serial interfaces are provided; two of them default as COM3 and COM4, and the others as COM1 and COM2 directly at the front panel or via a transition module. The A11 offers a new level of flexibility by providing two slots for PC•MIP mezzanine modules, while still providing full front panel connectivity. Both Type I and Type II PC•MIP modules can be used to equip the A11 with a full range of workstation and industrial I/O options. Graphics for VGA, a second Ethernet or SCSI for server or redundancy reasons, field bus interfaces for remote I/O control, and many others are available, depending on the application.
