Processing and Memory Capacity

The module runs on a 66 MHz 486 processor with a dedicated mathematical coprocessor to execute logic routines with processing speeds between 0.1 and 0.5 ms per thousand instructions. Memory architecture includes 2 MB of total SRAM, which allocates up to 896 KB for IEC program code, 64 K words for 984 ladder logic, 57 K words of register data, and 96 K words of extended registers.

Verification: Ensure that application program code and data tables stay within the 896 KB IEC memory limit and 64 K discrete reference boundary.

Data retention during power loss is maintained by a 3 V lithium battery rated at 1200 mAh with an estimated shelf life of 10 years. An adjustable 250 ms watchdog timer monitors system execution to trigger safe shutdown sequences upon program fault detection.

Networking and I/O Architecture

Communication capabilities are built into the module housing via two Modbus RS-232 serial ports on 9-pin D-sub connectors and one Modbus Plus RS-485 port. Network communication allows data exchange with local operator stations, programming software (such as Concept or ProWORX32), and host supervisory equipment.

Verification: Confirm that Modbus Plus drop addresses are properly assigned and terminated along the RS-485 network trunk line.

The processor controls up to two local racks via rack expanders, providing a local channel capacity of 64 input words and 64 output words. For distributed systems, it supports up to 31 Remote I/O drops and up to 3 Distributed I/O networks with capacity for up to 6 option modules in the backplane.
