It combines an 80386EX microprocessor, 240 KB of user memory, and an integrated Ethernet interface. The processor runs at 25 MHz and delivers a typical Boolean logic scan rate of 0.22 ms per 1K of logic. Its embedded Ethernet interface supports PLC programming and communications through a compatible network connection. The controller also supports serial communication through the RS-485 interface provided by the power supply. This arrangement gives engineers Ethernet and serial communication options within the same PLC architecture.
