Features:
- Interface Between PCMCIA Storage Media and SLC 500 Rack Backplane
- Integrates Dual-Slot Memory Expansion with Local Data Logging Capability
- Functions in Conjunction with SLC 500 Processors and I/O Modules
The Allen-Bradley 1747-OCPCM2/A operates as the PCMCIA Interface Module in an SLC 500 rack, providing reliable memory expansion and data storage capabilities to all compatible modules within the system. It continuously manages data transfer between inserted PCMCIA cards and the rack backplane, supporting real-time data logging and program storage for continuous operation of the controller and connected devices. Seamless data access is standard with the 1747-OCPCM2/A, and using high-capacity memory cards allows extended local storage of production data before scheduled uploads to host systems. The 1747-OCPCM2/A has made improvements in several areas over previous memory solutions in addition to incorporating standard PCMCIA compatibility within the SLC 500 rack.
The 1747-OCPCM2/A provides essential data handling functions common to the entire rack, and is a critical component of the data management path, directly affecting the proper, normal operation of the overall control system. One 1747-OCPCM2/A module can be installed per rack depending on the memory expansion requirements. The 1747-OCPCM2/A occupies only a single slot in the rack and can be positioned in available I/O slots.
For Enhanced Data Logging applications, the SLC 500 System utilizes the 1747-OCPCM2/A to store large batches of time-stamped events and performance metrics locally. In addition to standard data storage operation, the module also performs automatic buffering during network outages. The 1747-OCPCM2/A data retention system executes storage using the internal memory cards specified in the module specifications. Using this method, the local storage system continually accumulates critical production data. If the system detects that network communication is interrupted, it will automatically continue logging to the PCMCIA card and preserve all data for later retrieval.
The 1747-OCPCM2/A Allen-Bradley Interface Module may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).
