SPYDER® BACNET® PROGRAMMABLE CONTROLLERS
63-1328—05 4
Universal Input (UI) Circuits
See Table 2 for the UI specifications:
Hardware (PUB6438S, PUB6438SR, 
PVB6436AS, and PVB6438NS)
CPU
Each controller uses a pair of microprocessors. The first is a 
16-bit Texas Instruments MSP430 family microprocessor that 
is used to manage the Inputs, Outputs and Control. The 
second is a 32-bit ATMEL ARM 7 microprocessor that 
manages communication for the Spyder BACnet.
Memory Capacity
Flash Memory: 372 kilobytes. The controller is able to retain 
Flash memory settings for up to ten (10) years.
RAM: 72 kilobytes
Hardware (PVB0000AS, PUB1012S, 
PUB4024S, PVB4022AS, and 
PVB4024NS)
CPU
Each controller uses a 32 bit ATMEL ARM 7 microprocessor.
Memory Capacity
Flash Memory: 512 kilobytes. The controller is able to retain 
Flash memory settings for up to ten (10) years.
RAM: 128 kilobytes
Controller Status LED
The LED on the front of the controller provides a visual 
indication of the status of the device. When the controller 
receives power, the LED appears in one of the following 
allowable states, as described in Table 3.
BACNET STATUS LED:
The LED on the front of the controller, between the BACnet 
MS/TP terminals and MAC Address DIP Switches, provides a 
visual indication of the BACnet MS/TP communication status. 
When the controller receives power, the LED appears in one 
of the following allowable states, as described in Table 4.

C7031G and C7041F are recommended for use with these 
controllers, due to improved resolution and accuracy when 
compared to the PT1000.
