Overview – M-Module Mezzanine Cards
M-Modules, ANSI-standard since 1997, are a mezzanine standard perfectly suited for adding any kind of
real-world I/O to the system in a flexible way. M-Modules are modular I/O extensions for all types of industrial
computers, from embedded systems up to high-end workstations.
The M-Module interface – a fast asynchronous parallel interface – offers sophisticated functions like 32-bit data
bus, burst transfers up to 100MB/s, DMA and trigger capabilities.
M-Modules offer direct front-panel connection rather than requiring a separate adapter panel with ribbon-cable
connections. This provides a clean path for sensitive signals without loss of data or signal quality – using, for
example, shielded D-Sub connectors and COAX cables.
A carrier board in double Eurocard format, for instance, can accommodate up to four M-Modules.
Typical M-Module functionality comprises instrumentation, process I/O, motion, robotics, various general-purpose
analog and binary I/O as well as all common fieldbus interfaces.
M-Modules have been developed to work also in rugged environments – shock, vibration, drop, resonance, humi-
dity, chemicals, -40 to +85°C operating temperature.
