Key Features & Advantages:
-
High-Performance Processing: Powered by the Motorola MPC860 32-bit processor running at 50 MHz, the 3008 offers excellent processing capabilities for executing user-written control programs in real time.
-
Robust Memory Setup:
- 16 MB DRAM for large-scale data handling (non-battery backed-up).
- 32 KB SRAM for essential data storage (battery backed-up).
- 6 MB Flash PROM for non-volatile storage, ensuring safe data retention across power cycles.
-
Reliable Communication:
- Tribus Communication Rate of 25 megabits per second ensures high-speed communication between modules.
- 32-bit CRC protection ensures data integrity during transmission.
- Fully isolated I/O and communication buses reduce the risk of signal interference and enhance system reliability.
-
System Redundancy:
- In a Tricon system, three MPs (Main Processors) must be installed in the main chassis, allowing the system to be fault-tolerant and ensuring continued operation even if one module fails.
-
Indicators for Troubleshooting:
- The PASS indicator is used to indicate normal operation and serves as a valuable diagnostic tool for monitoring module health.
