Overview
n
PICO FA flash file system makes flash memory appear as a hard
disk to the PC Microcontroller.
n
CAMBASIC, industrial control language includes drivers for all
on-card hardware.
n
The network kernel allows up to 32 systems to be linked into an
RS-422/485 network.
n
The utility library includes application examples in C and
CAMBASIC.
n
Diagnostic software is included to test the system on powerup.
CAMBASIC
CAMBASIC supports all on-card I/O including digital, analog, timing,
interrupts, communications, and other functions. Thus, CAMBASIC
eliminates the need to write hardware drivers. You spend your time
writing the applications software rather than writing and debugging
drivers.
Diagnostic software verifies system integrity automatically
The PC Microcontroller has built-in diagnostic software that can be used
to verify on-card I/O and memory functions. On powerup, a series of
tests is performed. If a problem occurs, the failed test can be identified
by the color sequence on a bicolored LED. The test is performed auto-
matically every time the system is reset or powered up. No monitor,
keyboard, disks, test fixtures, test equipment, or software is required.
See the LED signaling and “beep” codes chapter for a complete listing of
system tests.
DRAM memory is fast and rugged
The PC Microcontroller has surface-mounted, fast page mode DRAM
installed. The surface mounting is far more rugged than plug-in
memory.
Solid-state disks withstand shock and vibration
SSD0 is a 1 MB flash memory disk containing the software suite in less
than 512 KB, leaving more than 512 KB available for user programs.
The flash memory is seen by software as a hard disk. The use of the
flash allows easy installation of software updates.
SSD2 is an SRAM with 128 KB capacity for data storage. SSD2 is
battery-backed with an on-board battery.
