Product Description: PC Interface Module (PCIM)
Product Description: PC interface module
The IC660ELB921 is a PC interface module (PCIM) that connects Genius I/O devices residing on the Genius I/O bus, allowing data exchange and controller like functions to be implemented by the host controller. The PCIM module was previously produced by GE Fanuc and is now part of Emerson Automation. The IC660ELB921 is a single-slot PC interface module that supports the installation of a single subboard whose directory number is IC660ELB912. Installing this interface module into the ISA slot of the host requires 4 bytes of memory from the host device and an additional 16 KB of memory for the installed sub-card. The current it draws from the backplane is 400 mA and the maximum current is 5 VDC, +/- 10%. It has bus load with 1 LS TTL load per input and bus drive capability with 10 LS TTL load per output. The PCIM card is a single-slot "AT" style board. It provides connection to an external handheld monitor (HHM), as well as serial bus connection via board edge terminals or external connectors. The IC660ELB921 comes with status LED indicators, such as daughter board normal and communication normal. The IC660ELB921 operates at 0-60 degrees Celsius (32-140 degrees Fahrenheit), while the storage temperature is -40 to +70 degrees Celsius (-40 to 158 degrees Fahrenheit) and the relative humidity is 5-95% (non-condensing). It has an operating height of 40,00 feet, an operating vibration of 0.2 inch displacement, an operating shock of 5 G hock and a duration of 10 ms. The IC660ELB921 is configured using PCIM configuration software, which provides access to a software library that provides advanced interfaces. The software library is available in versions compatible with MSDOS operating systems such as C/MSDOS and BASIC/MSDOS.
The IC660ELB921 PC interface module is a single-channel PCIM board manufactured by GE Fanuc and belongs to the Genius I-O series. It can only connect to one Genius bus at a time. This module is available for IBM PC, XT, and AT-type personal computers. The AT-type interface board is also compatible with different Genius communication protocols and communication timing. The IC660ELB921 PC interface module can be used with a single subboard and motherboard. The configuration software that comes with this module can be used to configure the subboard independently of the motherboard. The child board can be individually connected to the Genius bus device and act as a universal I/O controller for the I/O system.
The IC660ELB921 single-slot PCIM board features an efficient motherboard that connects the daughter board to an IBM-compatible host. It is used to buffer all the signals needed to communicate with the system host bus. Some of the sub-board control and monitoring functions provided by the motherboard include an ISA-compatible backplane, low power voltage level detection, address decoding via memory mapping, and signal sorting. Each subboard has 2 leds that indicate the status of the board and the communication process. The memory requirements of the motherboard are 4 bytes, and the requirements of the daughter board are 16 KB. The IC660ELB921 PC interface module is delivered with the configuration software and PCIM software library to provide an advanced interface between user-developed software and PCIM. It uses a 5-volt DC logic power supply and should not be more than 10% below or above the nominal level for the module to work properly. During installation, be sure to leave at least 1/8 inch of space between this module and other modules for proper cooling.
