PCMCIA memory extension cards

PL7

Presentation
PCMCIA memory extension cards are used to extend the internal RAM capacity of
Premium processors. Depending on the model, these cards are designed to:
Receive the application program and constants
b

Store additional application data and/or various application object symbols

Offer for Premium platform under PL7

In November 2004, the old range of TSX MRP/MFP P memory extension cards,
p p p

PCMCIA Flash EPROM memory

which was specifically for Premium processors under PL7, was replaced by a new
offer. This offer is common (1) to:
TSX Micro PLCs under PL7

PCMCIA memory extension cards

PL7

Presentation (continued)
PCMCIA memory expansion cards
All memory cards (with the exception of TSX MRP P004M and TSX MRP DS 2048P for additional SRAM data storage) are inserted into
PCMCIA slot no. 0 on Premium processors (upper slot). The TSX MRP F004M/TSX MRP DS 2048P additional data storage card is inserted into
slot no. 1 only, on Premium processors (lower slot).
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 storage area of 128 or
b

640 Kwords for additional data, in the SRAM or Flash EPROM and SRAM.
Application, additional data and symbol storage, comprising an application area of between 32 and 512 Kwords, a storage area of 128 or
b

640 Kwords for additional data and a symbol storage area of 128 or 256 Kwords, in the SRAM or Flash EPROM and SRAM.
Additional data storage provided by an SRAM memory card with a capacity of 2 Mwords.
b

These cards use 2 technologies:

Battery-backed SRAM. Used in particular in the application program design and debugging phases. These cards support all application
b

transfer and modification services in online mode and the storage of additional data.
The memory is protected by a removable battery built into the PCMCIA card. A second, auxiliary battery, provides backup so that the main
battery can be replaced without data being lost.
Flash EPROM Used when debugging of the application program is complete. It enables restrictions in terms of the service life of backup
b

batteries to be avoided and supports global application transfer. If a Flash EPROM is used, the application cannot be modified in online mode.
