Product: IC693CPU364 CPU Module with Ethernet Interface
IC693CPU364-AC
with Firmware Release 9.10
Introduction
This document contains information that is not available in any other publication; therefore, we recommend you save it
for future reference. This document discusses the features of the CPU module IC693CPU364. This module provides
two functions in one module: (1) it serves as a High Performance CPU, and (2) it provides Ethernet communications
capability with its embedded (built-in) Ethernet Interface. This release provides Ethernet Global Data (EGD) and
configurable Name Resolution for the 364 module.
CPU364 Feature Highlights (Release 9.10)
CPU Features
•
Ethernet Global Data and Name Resolution
are supported in this release. Version 2.2 or later of the Windows
based PLC programming software or version 1.0 or later of the VersaPro Windows-based programming software is
required for configuration of these features. For details, refer to the software online help, the TCP/IP Ethernet
Communications for the IC69* User's Manual, and the TCP/IP Ethernet Communications for the IC69* Station
Manager's Manual.
The following features were introduced in release 9.00.
•
Software Floating-Point.
The CPU364 supports all of the floating-point function blocks that are currently
supported by the CPU352. They are implemented in firmware using floating point emulation in the CPU364.
These Floating-Point math function blocks are described in the IC693 PLC Reference Manual.
•
User memory totals 240K bytes.
%R, %AI, and %AQ references are configurable up to 16K of %R, 8K of %AI
and 8K of %AQ memory using the MS-DOS PLC programming software, version 9.02 or later. These three
references are configurable up to 32K in release 1.0 of the VersaPro software and release 2.2 of the Windows-based
PLC programming software. Configuration instructions for this feature are described in the MS-DOS IC693
Programming Software User’s Manual, and is included in on-line help in both of the Windows PLC Programming
Software packages.
•
Sequential Event Recorder.
The Sequential Event Recorder can be used to record up to 1024 samples of 32
individual discrete (bit) references. This function block is described in the IC693 PLC Reference Manual and in
online help in the Windows PLC Programming Software.
•
Break-free SNP.
The SNP protocol no longer requires a break to operate. This allows SNP to work over a wider
variety of modems.
Ethernet Features
• The CPU364 supports connection to an Ethernet network via either (but not both) of two built-in Ethernet network
ports:
1.
AAUI
: Capability is provided for connection to various types of Ethernet LANs via an external AAUI
transceiver connected to the AAUI port. The IC649AEA103 AAUI transceiver may be used, or the user may
supply a different model that meets AAUI standards.
2.
10Base T:
The CPU364 provides direct connection to a 10BaseT (twisted pair) Ethernet LAN from its
10BaseT port.
