Physical Construction and Component Layout

This ASM380006 memory module card measures 2.8 inches in length. Its width reaches 2.1 inches with a thickness of 0.6 inches. The total weight comes to approximately 0.18 pounds. Manufacturers placed 32 discrete components on this small PCB. These components include EPROM chips, EEPROM devices, and decoupling capacitors. The card uses a two-layer design for simple construction.

Memory Architecture and Storage Resources

ASM380006 provides two distinct types of non-volatile memory storage. The EPROM section holds 256 KB of user program code. The EEPROM section stores another 256 KB of configuration parameters. Access time reaches 150 nanoseconds for fast processor reads. The EPROM retains data permanently without any battery backup. The EEPROM allows up to 100,000 write cycles for parameter updates. Data retention spans a minimum of 10 years for both memory types. Consequently, this card safely stores critical programs and settings.

Interface and Power Requirements

The memory card uses a 40-pin edge connector for system interfacing. Gold-over-nickel contact plating resists corrosion for reliable connections. The ASM380006 requires a 5V DC supply with ±5% tolerance. Total current draw measures only 25 milliamps from the 5V bus. A single 10µF capacitor provides local decoupling on the board. This capacitor filters high-frequency noise from the power supply.

Application Use and System Integration

You will insert this card into compatible Schneider PLC processors. It expands the available memory for larger user programs. The ASM380006 suits Modicon TSX Micro and Premium systems. For example, you can store complex control logic or large data tables. The card operates reliably from 0°C to 55°C ambient. Keyed connectors prevent incorrect insertion into the processor slot. Therefore, this memory module provides a simple upgrade for program storage capacity.
