Introduction
General
Premium/Atrium PLC stations connect to communication networks, buses and links via PCMCIA communication cards.
The card to be connected is a metal unit whose dimensions comply with PCMCIA extended type
III format.
The PCMCIA card is installed in the host slot of the processor of Premium PLCs.
The PCMCIA card can also be used in devices which have a type III host slot, such as XBT terminals or third-party devices, such as PC compatible devices, for example.
Illustration:
NOTE: It is prohibited to connect PCMCIA cards when the power is switched on.
Definition
An agent PLC is a PLC with a connected PCMCIA card.

Description
General
PCMCIA type III (extended) communication cards are built into a metal unit with the following dimensions:
Length: 85.5 mm
Width: 51 mm
Height: 10 mm
The front of the card is designed to display the operating status of communications as well as the physical connection to the network.
Mechanical configuration
The mechanical configuration of the card must be adapted by mounting a removable cover, depending on the type of installation desired:
Type of installation
Installation on a
Premium type processor.
Installation on an Atrium type processor.
Installation on a PC compatible device.
Configuration
Removable cover with wings. Screws are provided to fix it to the host module (marked 3 on illustration)
Removable cover with wings. Screws are provided to fix it to the
Atrium processor
(marked 2 on illustration).
Removable cover
(marked 1 on illustration).
Illustration
NOTE: The covers with wings, mounted on PCMCIA cards, prevent any accidental removal when switched on and guarantee that the card remains in good working order.
The two covers (1) and (3) are provided with the PCMCIA card. The cover (2) is provided with the
Atrium processor.
Connection to the network is achieved by connecting the link cable to the front of the card. A guidance system is used to prevent anything being mounted incorrectly.
The product reference label informs the user of the type of physical layer supported by the card.

Connection of the TSX FPP 10 card
General
The TSX FPP 10 PCMCIA card is connected to the Fipway bus using a connector such as a TSX
FP ACC 3 or TSX FP ACC 4.
To connect the PCMCIA card to the ACC3/ACC4 connector the user may use:
Either a 1 m cable, product reference TSX FP CG 010.
Or a 3 m cable, product reference TSX FP CG 030.
Items required for connecting a Premium/Atrium PLC to the remote inputs/outputs Fipio bus:

Precautions to be taken when connecting PCMCIA card
General
NOTICE
PCMCIA CARD DESTRUCTION
Cables (TSX FP CG 010/030) are to be connected and disconnected from the PCMCIA card only when the power is switched off
Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.
CAUTION
PCMCIA CARD DESTRUCTION
Power off the module before inserting or removing the PCMCIA card.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury or equipment damage.
When removing or inserting the card, the unit is not guaranteed to be operational.
The PCMCIA card must be equipped with a PLC version cover and be screwed into the reception
module before the power is switched on (see Mechanical configuration,
).
The ferrule, placed in direct contact with the PCMCIA card device, is used to drain electrical interference carried by the link cable braids.

Installation
Installation
The TSX FPP 10 card can only be installed in the host slot of processors. It cannot be installed in the module TSX SCM 21601
Application-specific channel and network connection
The installation of the card in the processor does not count as an application-specific channel or as a network connection.

Houses the product reference label which shows the type of PCMCIA card
Ensures the card is displayed in its slot. The names of the two LEDs are printed on the front of the removable cover. This cover also allows the
PCMCIA card to be fastened to the processor.
The ferrule placed on the end of the cable nearest to the PCMCIA card prevents the cable being pinched by the removable cover. This ferule also eliminates the risk of causing a bending radius which can damage the quality of the link.
