Description

Product Overview

The GE MVME2434 is a high-performance VMEbus single-board computer (SBC) designed for mission-critical industrial automation and control systems. As part of GE’s MVME series, this module combines robust processing power with versatile I/O capabilities, making it ideal for applications requiring real-time control, data acquisition, and communication in harsh environments. The GE MVME2434 features a PowerPC 750FX processor (G4) running at 667 MHz, enabling complex control algorithms and multitasking for systems such as turbine control, robotics, and industrial machinery.

 

Equipped with 512 MB DDR SDRAM and 256 MB Flash memory, the GE MVME2434 supports multiple operating systems including QNX, VxWorks, and Linux, ensuring compatibility with legacy and modern software architectures. Its VMEbus interface (J1/J2 connectors) allows seamless integration with other VME modules, while dual 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet ports and RS-232/422/485 serial interfaces enable flexible network connectivity. The module’s conformal-coated PCB and wide temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) make it suitable for offshore, industrial, and aerospace applications where reliability is critical.

 

Although discontinued, the GE MVME2434 remains a trusted solution for retrofitting legacy systems, with refurbished units available through certified suppliers. Its modular design and long-term support make it a cost-effective choice for maintaining operational continuity in industrial environments.
