Physical Characteristics and Installation
This processor module weighs approximately 0.75 kg for secure rack mounting. Its dimensions measure 235 mm x 30 mm x 185 mm for standard Advant racks. First, slide the 3BSE008373R1 into a dedicated processor slot. Then, engage the ejector levers to seat the module firmly. Finally, connect your communication cables to the rear ports. LED indicators on the front show processor status and bus activity.
Processing Power and Memory Architecture
The 3BSE008373R1 integrates a Motorola 68040 processor running at 25 MHz. Program memory provides 2 MB of flash for non-volatile firmware storage. Data memory includes 1 MB of RAM for real-time variables. A lithium battery backs up 128 KB of retentive memory. Consequently, critical process parameters survive power outages for up to three years.
Communication Capabilities and System Integration
This processor module features three communication ports for system networking. Two RS-232 ports connect to programming devices or local HMIs. One RS-485 port links the module to remote I/O networks. The 3BSE008373R1 supports peer-to-peer communication with other Advant controllers. You can build redundant or distributed control architectures easily.
