42 Selecting Your Hardware Components
Selecting a Memory
Module for the SLC 5/01 and
SLC 5/02 Processors You can plug these optional EEPROM (Electrically Erasable
Programmable Read Only Memory) memory modules into the SLC 500
controller. With a memory module, you can:
• save the contents of the processor RAM for storage purposes.
• load the contents of the EEPROM memory into the processor
RAM.
Adapter sockets (catalog number 1747-M5) are required when
inserting EEPROMs or UVPROMs into the programming and erasing
equipment.
To program a memory module, see your programming software user
manual.
EEPROM Memory Modules
These optional memory modules provide a non-volatile memory
back-up in a convenient modular form. The modules plug into a
socket on the processor.
You can store (save) your program in the EEPROM by inserting it into
the processor and programming software to download the program.
You can use an EEPROM module as a master, or you can use an
archived processor file as the source by using the software PROM
translator utility.
Adapter sockets are required when inserting memory modules into
commercially available PROM programmer. The memory module fits
into the adapter socket and then into a PROM programmer.
ATTENTION
Make sure the adapter is inserted properly into the programming
equipment or damage could result.
