PCMCIA memory extension cards

PL7

Presentation
PCMCIA memory extension cards are used to extend the internal RAM capacity of
Premium processors and Atrium slot PLCs. Depending on the model, these cards
are designed to:
b Receive the application program and constants
b Store additional application data
b Store various application object symbols
b Or all three
New offer for Premium and Atrium under PL7
From November 2004, the old TSX MRP/MFP pppP PCMCIA memory extension
cards offer, which was specific for Premium processors and Atrium slot PLCs under
PL7, are replaced by a new offer. This offer is supported by:
b TSX Micro PLCs under PL7
b Premium processors and Atrium slot PLCs under Unity Pro and PL7
b Quantum processors under Unity Pro
The table below indicates equivalences between the old and new versions. If
migration from PL7 to Unity Pro is envisaged, 1 or more new references may
correspond to each old reference.

PCMCIA memory extension cards

PL7

PCMCIA memory extension cards

All memory cards (with the exception of TSX MFP P004M/TSX MRP DS 2048P for
SRAM data storage) are inserted into PCMCIA slot no. 0 on Premium processors
(upper slot) and Atrium slot PLCs (internal slot). The
TSX MFP P004M/TSX MRP DS 2048P data storage card is inserted into slot no. 1
only on Premium processors (lower slot) and Atrium slot PLCs (external slot on
faceplate).
With PL7, these cards support four different types of storage:
Application storage: Program and constants in a common area of between 64 and
512 Kwords, in the SRAM or Flash EPROM memory.
b Application and additional data storage, comprising an application area of
between 64 and 384 Kwords and a data storage area of 128 or 640 Kwords designed
for additional data, in the SRAM or Flash EPROM and SRAM.
b Application, additional data and symbol storage, comprising an application area of
between 32 and 512 Kwords, a data storage area of 128 or 640 Kwords designed for
additional data, and a symbols area of 128 or 256 Kwords, in the SRAM or Flash
EPROM and SRAM.
b Additional data storage provided by an SRAM with a capacity of 2 M words.
These cards use 2 technologies:
b Battery-backed SRAM. Used in particular in the creation and debugging phases
for the application program. These cards support all application transfer and
modification services in online mode and the storage of additional data.
The memory is backed up by a removable battery integrated into the PCMCIA card.
A second battery, which acts as an auxiliary for the first, provides backup for the main
battery should information be lost.
b Flash EPROM. Used once debugging of the application program is complete. It
enables restrictions in terms of the service life of backup batteries to be avoided and
supports global application transfer.
If a Flash EPROM is used, the application cannot be modified in online mode.
