General
Premium/Atrium PLC stations connect to communication networks, buses and links through PCMCIA communication cards.
The card to be connected is a metal device whose dimensions comply with PCMCIA extended type III.
PCMCIA cards are installed in the reception slot of the processor and/or
TSX SCY 21601 module in PLCs from the Premium family.
PCMCIA cards can also be used in devices which have type III reception, such as
CCX 17, FT 2100 terminals or PC-compatible third-party devices, for example.
