Backplane Bus Communication Velocity & Firmware Flash Compatibility
The IC693CPU364-EK exchanges real-time data packets across the parallel backplane bus at 25 MHz processing speed, sustaining backplane bus communication velocity during intensive Boolean logic scans and I/O polling sweeps. Integrated firmware flash compatibility permits system software maintenance without physical EPROM replacements, while onboard battery-backed RAM preserves user program registers and real-time clock data during main utility power interrupts.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the backplane power supply current requirements for the IC693CPU364-EK processor?
A: The module draws up to 1.51 A from the +5 VDC bus supplied by the baseplate power supply.
Q: How does the integrated Ethernet interface connect to 10BaseT local networks?
A: The module features built-in Ethernet connectivity accessible through an onboard 10BaseT transceiver port or an AAUI interface option.
Q: How many total expansion baseplates can a single IC693CPU364-EK CPU manage?
A: The unit manages up to 8 baseplates in total, consisting of 1 local CPU baseplate and up to 7 expansion or remote I/O baseplates linked via expansion cables.
Field Installation Guidelines
- Always verify that primary system power is fully isolated before seating or removing the CPU module from slot 1 of the CPU baseplate.
- Install a fresh lithium battery in the power supply module to prevent RAM program loss during power-down intervals.
- Terminate all expansion baseplate communication cables using standard Series 90-30 bus termination plugs at both ends of the rack sequence.
- Ground the baseplate chassis directly to protective earth to protect sensitive CMOS logic and Ethernet communication circuits from electrical noise.
