• Provides 256 words of global memory for program and data management.
• Robust construction designed for industrial rack-mounted environments.
• Directly interfaces with the PLC backplane for high-speed data access.

Applications

This memory card is primarily used in legacy industrial automation systems where TI 560/565 controllers are deployed. It is essential for applications requiring additional global memory for complex logic, data logging, or inter-processor communication within the TI 500 series environment.

Technical Specifications

Installation Guidelines

• Ensure the PLC system is powered down before inserting or removing the memory card to prevent electrical damage or data corruption.
• Handle the module by its edges; avoid touching the gold-plated edge connectors to prevent oxidation or contamination.
• Ensure the card is fully seated in the designated slot of the PLC rack to maintain reliable electrical contact.
• Maintain a clean, dry, and vibration-free environment to ensure the longevity of the module and the host controller.
• Follow standard ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) precautions when handling the module to protect sensitive internal components.
