1.5 Features
CPU Options
The 68060 processor operating at 50 Mhz provides the highest performance while the 68040(V) at 33
MHz sets the standard in the Motorola CISC portfolio.
68EN360
The ‘QUICC’ chip operates as an I/O and communication companion providing 4, high-speed serial
channels, timers, clocks and Time Slot Assignment (TSA).
Serial Channels
All high-speed SCC channels are equipped with hardware hand-shaking and are available for a variety
of applications. SCC1 can be configured for either ethernet or RS485 (e.g. PROFIBUS) use by fitting
the appropriate SI6 piggyback. SCC2 - SCC4 are configured by default for RS232 operation and can be
changed to optoisolated RS232/485 as required by fitting the SC piggyback.An SMC1 interface provi-
des a simple RS232 connection for console/debug operations.

CXC Interface
The 96-pin interface allows other I/O possibilities to be realised by utilising PEP’s plug-in cards such as
the CXM-PFB12, CXM-CAN, CXM-LON, CXM-SCSI or CXM-SIO3..
Ethernet Interface
Three different SI6 piggybacks complete with all the associated control logic are available providing
10Base2, 10Base5 or 10BaseT interfaces.
RS485 Interfaces
This is a fully optoisolated RS485 SI6-interfacepiggyback with a 9-pin D-Sub connector.
