About This Guide
This manual describes the operation and use of the AMC131 MPC8641D Processor AMC
Module (referred to as AMC131 in this guide). The following outline describes the focus of each
chapter.
Chapter 2, “Introduction,” on page 21 provides an overview of the AMC131 and includes
information such as module features, functional block diagram, and a brief description of each
block.
Chapter 3, “Getting Started,” on page 33 provides setup information such as unpacking the
module, system requirements, and installation procedures.
Chapter 4, “Connectors,” on page 43 provides connector location, description, and pinout
information.
Chapter 5, “System Monitoring and Alarms,” on page 53 describes the commands supported
by the on-board Module Management Controller.
Chapter 6, “Reset Configuration,” on page 79 describes the AMC131 reset types with their
respective sources.
Chapter 7, “Programmable Registers,” on page 83 describes the programmable registers used
to configure and monitor AMC131 functionality.
Chapter 8, “Specifications,” on page 99 contains mechanical, electrical, and environmental
specifications.
Chapter 9, “Agency Approvals,” on page 103 presents agency approvals and certification
information.
Chapter 10, “Data Sheet Reference,” on page 107 provides information on data sheets,
standards and specifications for the technology designed into the AMC131.
The AMC131 assembly should be used in conjunction with the PT software package that you
have chosen, for example NexusWare®Core.
The most current documentation to support the additional components that you purchased from
PT is available at www.pt.com under the product you are inquiring about.
