1.4 Serial Port Interface Modules
You may configure the asynchronous/synchronous serial ports (ports 3 and 4) to the
appropriate interface by installing a Serial Interface Module (SIM). A SIM is a small “plug-in”
printed circuit board that converts the TTL-level synchronous or asynchronous port signals to
industry standard voltage levels used by the ports. The SIM contains the receiver and
transmitter circuits for converting the input and output signals of the host VMEmodule to the
appropriate serial data communication protocol.
The SIMs for the MVME761 are listed in the following table.
Additional SIMs may be released. Please see your Artesyn representative for a complete list of
SIMS that are available for the MVME761-0x1.
1.5 P2 Adapter Boards
The P2 adapters route the asynchronous and synchronous port, printer port, and Ethernet
signals to the MVME761 transition module.
