Core Module Functionality

• The IC660ELB906 combines a motherboard and a daughterboard.
• It provides a low-cost tap on the Genius I/O twisted pair network.
• The module is optimized for integration with the IBM personal computer bus.
• A software driver offers high-level bus access for user-developed applications.
• An onboard DIP switch allows easy configuration of the network data rate.

Daughterboard Features

• The daughterboard serves as a general-purpose I/O controller.
• It can manage initialization and faults for up to 30 Genius bus devices.
• It maintains current images of the I/O data for each controlled device.
• The board handles protocol and enables non-time-critical network access.
• It can communicate with other bus controllers using background messages.

Motherboard Features

• The motherboard interfaces the daughterboard to an IBM-compatible host.
• It buffers all necessary communication signals to the host computer bus.
• It provides crucial control and monitoring functions.
• Features include low supply voltage detection and power-up RESET sequencing.
• It performs host system address decoding and interrupt control.
• A built-in watchdog timer monitors system operation for faults.
• This safety timer can be disabled by the user with a jumper setting.

Application and System Integration

• This PCIM is designed for user-developed microprocessor system integration.
• A PC equipped with this module can control field stations and Genius I/O blocks.
• Proper setup requires entering station module and I/O data info into the host.
• The module’s design emphasizes extensive diagnostics and high noise immunity.
• It is a key component for building reliable industrial automation systems.
