Internal Architecture and Processing Power

This central unit uses a high-performance 16-bit CPU for fast execution. A quartz oscillator provides precise timing for all operations. The ABB 07 ZE 61 R201 stores user programs in 256 KB of static RAM. A replaceable lithium battery maintains this memory during power outages. The processor executes bit operations in approximately 0.4 milliseconds per kilobyte. Consequently, this unit handles large applications with very fast scan times.

Installation and Programming Guide

First, insert this central unit into the designated slot of your Advant rack. Next, connect your programming device to the 9-pin RS232 port. Then, upload your application using ABB programming software. The unit supports ladder diagram and function block languages. You can expand I/O by adding S100 remote racks via ribbon cable. This central unit communicates with I/O modules through the backplane bus. Four LED indicators show power, run, stop, and fault status. Always replace the lithium battery when the low voltage warning appears. Remove the unit from the rack before changing the battery for safety.
