10.0 AutoMax PROCESSOR
OVERVIEW
NOTE: This chapter describes the AutoMax Processor module only.
For information about the PC3000 Processor module, refer to
instruction manual D2Ć3099.
The AutoMax Processor module plugs into the backplane of an
AutoMax rack and executes application programs which, in turn,
control other AutoMax or DCS modules in the system. The Processor
modules have the following memory/speed configurations:
Model
CPU Speed Memory
M/N 57C431 AutoMax 6011
Processor module 8 mHz 512K Parity RAM
M/N 57C435 AutoMax 7010
Processor module 25 mHz 512K Parity RAM
Each Processor contains 32K of EPROM for boardĆlevel diagnostics
and boot software. The operating system, which oversees the
operation of the CPU and the execution of application tasks, is
provided in two versions: the 6011 OS, which is used with
M/N 57C431 Processors, and the 7010 OS, which is used with
M/N 57C435 Processors. The M/N 57C431 and M/N 57C435
Processors both have 290K available for application tasks. Both
versions of the operating system are included with the AutoMax
Executive software (see section 5.4.3 for loading the operating
system).
Processor modules come equipped with onĆboard battery backĆup to
protect against power failures. External battery backĆup is therefore
not required for racks containing a single Processor module. For
racks containing multiple Processor modules, however, external
battery backĆup may be required to protect the Common Memory
module against power failures. If you are using Common Memory
module M/N 57C413 or earlier, external battery backĆup is required.
M/N 57C413B and later have onĆboard battery backĆup. Although this
section describes the Processor module in some detail, for more
specific information, refer to instruction manual JĆ3650.
10.1 Single Processor Module in a Rack
A Processor can occupy any slot in the rack from 0Ć4 (refer to figure
10.1). A single M/N 57C431 or 57C435 Processor module makes
290K available for application tasks.
