Execution Performance and Memory Structure

• Boolean logic runs at 4.76 Kinst/ms without a PCMCIA card and 3.7 Kinst/ms with one.
• Mixed workloads (65 % Boolean plus 35 % fixed arithmetic) reach 3.57 Kinst/ms without a card.
• The processor separates program memory from data memory when you insert a PCMCIA card.
• A 160 Kword program card and a 2688 Kword data card expand storage well beyond internal RAM.
• 64 event tasks and one fast task let engineers isolate time-critical routines from the master task.

Communication and I/O Architecture

• The Fipio manager controls up to 127 agents over a SUB-D 9 connector.
• A non-isolated serial link with two female mini DIN connectors runs at 19.2 kbit/s.
• The processor accepts one fieldbus module, one network module, four AS-Interface modules, and one CANopen module.
• You cannot use a fieldbus module when the application uses CANopen.
• 24 application specific channels and 10 to 30 simple loops cover process control needs.

Installation Guide

• Mount the double-format module in a Modicon Premium rack and confirm the 5 V DC rail supplies 820 mA.
• Keep ambient air between 0 °C and 60 °C and maintain free airflow around the rack.
• Connect the Fipio SUB-D 9 plug and tighten it before you power the bus.
• Route the serial link cable away from high-voltage wiring to reduce induced noise.
• Insert the PCMCIA card before startup so the processor detects program and data memory correctly.
• Check the RUN, FIP, I/O, ERR, and TER LEDs after power-up to confirm healthy operation.
• Respect IP20 protection and pollution degree 2 limits inside the enclosure.
• Verify the earth ground and cabinet bonding before you commission the system.
