Backplane Bus Communication Velocity and Firmware Compatibility
- The module manages dual-channel FIP fieldbus communication protocols, executing high-speed deterministic data transfers between remote I/O drops and the primary Series 90-70 VME backplane. Cyclic signal exchanges are synchronized directly with the CPU execution scan.
- Onboard firmwareflash compatibility allows dynamic protocol configuration and parameter downloading directly from the main processor card. Shared memory architecture eliminates backplane bus bottlenecks during dual-channel data arbitration.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What operational power supply levels are required from the backplane for this controller?
A: The module draws its operational logic power directly from the internal 5 VDC backplane bus rail.
Q: How are field channels configured on the dual FIP bus interface?
A: The module provides two independent channels that can be configured in software for dual-redundant fieldbus trunk topologies or two separate deterministic FIP networks.
Field Installation Guidelines
- Shut down all power supplies to the Series 90-70 rack chassis before inserting or extracting the controller board.
- Ground yourself using an ESD wrist strap connected to an unpainted chassis point to avoid damaging sensitive CMOS components.
- Insert the module into its designated VME backplane slot, pressing firmly top and bottom until the faceplate latching mechanism locks.
- Ensure FIP network cables are terminated with proper 120 Ohm matching impedance resistors at both physical ends of the trunk line.
