complex systems
Easily integrated into existing systems
Compatible with existing D20 application firmware and
configurations
Powerful engine for single-node Ethernet solutions

Features
Seven RS-232 communication ports
Aggregate serial data rate of 500 kbps
2M byte application memory
Hi-accuracy TCXO clock standard
Compatible with GE Energy Services' large protocol and application library
VME and non-VME versions available

GE Energy Services is proud to announce the next generation processor in the highly successful D20 product line. The
D20 ME provides a high-performance processor for the ever-increasing complexity of D20 and D200 systems.

The D20 ME delivers an overall two-and-a-half times increase in performance over the D20 M++ resulting in an
increase in I/O processing and communication port speed.

The D20 ME now includes Flash memory for application code loads replacing the need to program and manage the
EPROMs used on previous D20 M processors.

The features that you've grown to expect from the D20 are still fully supported with the D20 ME.
