The IC660ELB906 PC interface module or PCIM manufactured by GE Fanuc can be installed in the XT type slot of a personal computer. It is designed to connect the Genius bus to a compatible host. It is also designed to integrate with user-developed microprocessor systems. The interface module's cost-effective design, extensive diagnostic capabilities, and high levels of reliability and noise resistance make it ideal for Genius I/O systems. The IC660ELB906 PC interface module provides control and monitoring functions such as low supply voltage detection, host system address decoding, host interrupt control, signal conditioning, and built-in watchdog timer. It also provides an onboard DIP switch for configuring the network data rate.
The IC660ELB906 PC interface module consists of a motherboard and a subboard designed to provide effective interface functionality. The main board is a 2-layer rectangular board, and the sub-board is a 4-layer rectangular board. Its functions include 3 main parts, namely serial interface, dual port RAM and PCIM management processor. The required data from the host is received into the input table segment of the corresponding serial bus address of the bus interface unit. In order to accurately use the I/O data of the bus interface unit, the module layout and I/O data information of the workstation must be correctly entered into the host. The I/O data includes input and output details for the associated serial bus address of the bus interface module. Personal computers equipped with IC660ELB906 PC interface modules can effectively control field control stations and Genius I/O blocks in the same application system.
