GE-FanucSeries One ASCII/BASIC Coprocessor Module, Single Slot, 300 mA at 9 VDC

Product Description

What this part is

This is a GE Fanuc Series One ASCII/BASIC Module — a single-slot plug-in coprocessor card that runs the BASIC programming language resident on the module and exchanges data with the PLC’s ladder logic. Its job is serial communication and computation the ladder cannot do comfortably: driving a printer or terminal, reading a barcode scanner, scale or gauge, formatting reports, and doing arithmetic and string handling. It is an intelligent coprocessor module that works alongside the Series One CPU, which runs the machine.

Decoding the catalogue number

IC610: the GE Fanuc Series One family prefix.

ABM: ASCII/BASIC Module, a specific functional designation.

100: the module type within the ABM range.

A: hardware revision letter. Later letters supersede earlier ones and are backward compatible within the ABM100 designation, so an IC610ABM100B or -C serves the same slot.

Also written IC-610-ABM-100-A and IC610ABM100.

Host and power budget

Maximum draw is 300 mA off the 9 VDC rail. Rail current across every module in the rack is what sets whether an ABM fits a given Series One power supply.

The module runs in both hosts. Series One Plus carries the expanded instruction set with data operations as standard, which moves blocks of data to and from the module in a single transfer; a plain Series One transfers a reference at a time.

Set composition

1 Pc. One single-slot ASCII/BASIC module.

Interchange

MPN variants: IC610ABM100A, IC610ABM100, IC-610-ABM-100-A, IC610-ABM-100A, IC610 ABM 100 A, IC610ABM-100A, ABM100.

IC610ABM100B and IC610ABM100C are the same module at later hardware revisions and serve the same slot; the revision letter is the only difference.

Related Series One ranges: IC610CCM105, IC610CCM110 and IC610CCM111 handle serial links and remote I/O; the IC610CPU range is the processor.

Brand lineage: the Series One line ran as GE Series One, then GE Fanuc Automation, then GE Intelligent Platforms, and is now supported under Emerson.
