GE IC697MDL653 24 VDC Input, Positive/Negative Logic
Ethernet Controller: The VMIVME-7648 supports Ethernet LANs withtwo Intel Ethernet controllers (one 82559 and the other internal to
Intel’s chipset ICH2). 10BaseT and 100BaseTX options are supported via
two RJ45 connectors. Remote LAN booting is supported.
Remote Ethernet Booting: The VMIVME-7648 utilizes Lanworks
Technologies, Inc.’s BootWare. BootWare provides the ability to
remotely boot the VMIVME-7648 using NetWare, TCP/IP or RPL network
protocols.
BootWare Features:
• NetWare, TCP/IP, RPL network protocol support
• Unparalleled boot sector virus protection
• Detailed boot configuration screens
• Comprehensive diagnostics
• Optional disabling of local boots
• Dual-boot option lets users select network or local booting
Serial Ports: Two 16550-compatible serial ports are featured on the
VMIVME-7648 front panel. The serial channel has a 16-byte FIFO to
support baud rates up to 1.5 Mbaud. Requires two micro-DB-9 to

standard DB-9 adapters, GE Fanuc Embedded Systems Part
Number 360-010050-001.
Keyboard and Mouse Ports: The VMIVME-7648 has a combined PS/2
keyboard and mouse connector. A Y-adapter cable is included.
Timers: The VMIVME-7648 provides the user with two 16-bit timers
and two 32-bit timers (in addition to system timers). These timers are
mapped in I/O space, and are completely software programmable.
Watchdog Timer: The VMIVME-7648 provides a softwareprogrammable watchdog timer. The watchdog timer is enabled under
software control. Once the watchdog timer is enabled, onboard
software must access the timer within the specified timer period or a
timeout will occur. A user jumper allows the timeout to cause a reset.
Independent of the jumper, software can enable the watchdog timeout
to cause a nonmaskable interrupt (NMI) or a VMEbus SYSFAIL.
Nonvolatile SRAM: The VMIVME-7648 provides 32 Kbyte of
nonvolatile SRAM. The contents of the SRAM are preserved when +5 V
power is interrupted or removed from the unit.
PMC Expansion Site: The VMIVME-7648 supports IEEE P1386
common mezzanine card specification with a 5 V PCI mezzanine card
(PMC) expansion site. The PMC site provides for standard I/O out the
VMEbus front panel. An optional I/O connection to the VMEbus P2
connection can be provided.
Contact GE Fanuc for more information concerning PMC modules and
compatibility.
Universal Serial Bus (USB): The VMIVME-7648 provides front panel
dual connection hub host controllers for the USB. Supported USB
features include: isochronous data transfers, asynchronous messaging,
self-identification and configuration of peripherals, and dynamic (hot)
attachment.
VMEbus Interface: The VMIVME-7648 VMEbus interface is based on
the Universe IIB high performance PCI-to-VME interface from
Newbridge/Tundra.
System Controller: The onboard VMEbus system controller
capabilities allow the board to operate as a slot 1 controller, or it may
be disabled when another board is acting as the system controller. The
system controller may be programmed to provide the following modes
of arbitration:
