Product Name: PCMCIA Modules for the Allen-Bradley SLC 1746 I/O chassis

Product Description

Features Include 

Easily read and write up to 2 GigaBytes (GB) of PCMCIA Memory card data which is 250 MegaWords (MW) of Controller data
Communicates with the Allen-Bradley® SLC 5/03, 5/04 or 5/05 over the SLC backplane using standard Ladder Instructions
Communicates with a PC over a TCP/IP Ethernet network using a PCMCIA Ethernet card
Communicates with ASCII Serial devices over an RS232 channel using a PCMCIA Serial card
Data stored in ASCII format can be read and written by an Allen-Bradley® SLC 5/03, 5/04, 5/05, Microsoft® Access™, Excel™, Word™ and most Text Editors
Data stored in Binary format can be read and written by an Allen-Bradley® SLC 5/03, 5/04, and 5/05
Other than a PCMCIA card, this module does not require additional hardware, software or cables


Applications Include 

Data Logging: Save (Write) Production, Process and Alarm Status from Allen-Bradley® Controllers
Recipe Loading: Load (Read) Process Information to Allen-Bradley® Controllers
e-Manufacturing: Communicate between the factory floor and the enterprise, View and Analyze data in real-time


SLC Backplane Interface 

Single slot, Class 4 module for the SLC 1746 I/O chassis
250 word M0 file for Command, Reply and Status
30,000 word M1 file for User Data
250 word G file for User Configuration
2,250 word G file for File Transfers
Does not use Input or Output files, therefore it does not use any I/O space


PCMCIA Sockets 

Has two hot swappable, Plug and Play, Type II PCMCIA sockets
Each socket can hold a different Type I or Type II PCMCIA card, OR both sockets can be used to hold one Type III PCMCIA card
Accepts the following 5 Volt, 1 Amp, 8 and 16 bit PCMCIA cards (CardBus NOT supported):
ATA Flash (up to 2GB)
Battery Backed SRAM
Serial I/O
Ethernet


Programming 

Read file, Write file, Make directory, Delete file or directory, Format disk, Send stream and Receive stream are programmed with standard Ladder Instructions
Read / Write up to 30,000 words of data per function call (transfer between the M1 file and the Module file system)
Any mix of data types (S, B, T, C, R, N, F, A, ST, I/O, M) can be stored
Command execution, using M0 file, behaves as an immediate instruction (does not wait for End of Scan nor interfere with SLC scan time)
User programmable, non-retentive Real Time Calendar / Clock
8 user programmable LED's
