Chapter 4 AWC Board
76 Adept MV Controller User’s Guide, Rev. B
The additional 16 MB of RAM on the AWC 060 is provided through a memory
expansion PCA. While this is removable, it is considered by Adept to be an
integral part of the AWC 060. The AWC 060 is tested and stocked with the
memory expansion board installed. Do not tamper with the memory expansion
PCA.
Compact Flash
In place of the traditional hard drive,
+
systems use Compact Flash (CF).
Compact Flash is a small “solid state hard drive” that is about half the size of a
credit card and twice as thick. Compact Flash has no moving parts and is
therefore reliable and durable. It is removable and can be moved to another AWC
board for replacement or testing (see '( for location).
Two Compact Flash sizes are available. For systems that do not use AIM, most
customers’ V
+
programs will fit onto the 8 MB Compact Flash. AIM-based
systems require more memory. The CF capacity shipped with AIM systems is
presently 30 MB (this may be increased in the future).
The optional SIO board can be added to any AWC system
(assuming two empty slots are available) to add hard drive, floppy
drive, and additional serial port capabilities.
With AdeptWindowsPC systems you can use the supplied NFS
software to remotely mount hard drives.
Compact Flash is addressed as drive D. Drive letters A and C are reserved for the
floppy and hard drives on the SIO.
Use suitable measures for eliminating electrostatic
discharge during removal and installation of the Compact Flash.
This includes, but is not limited, the use of a grounded wrist strap
while performing this operation.
EEPROM
The controller serial number and license information is maintained in
/9-.
on
the
+
board. Like the Compact Flash, this NVRAM can be transferred to
another
+
board for replacement or testing purposes (see '( for the
/9-.
location).
Use suitable measures for eliminating Electro-static
discharge during removal and installation of the
