It is a standard CompactFlash connector, which is available from many different vendors. A CompactFlash connector optimized for the CompactCom can be purchased from HMS.
Yes, the CompactCom 40-series support SPI, 16-bit parallel, and Shift register communication interfaces in addition to the ones supported by the 30-series.
There are minor differences in the hardware and software interface. Please consult Appendix B in the CompactCom Hardware Design Guide for more information about the differences.
It depends on the compiler and the target system, but as a guide line, the example code requires about 6kb of RAM and 16kb of ROM.
If the CompactCom Common Ethernet Module (CET) is used, the same hardware can be used for all supported Ethernet protocols.
No, the same firmware and the same processor is used for the Chip, the Brick, and the Module, i.e. there is no difference in the host application communication between the different types.
For Ethernet based modules with IPv4 support (PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, Modbus-TCP, BACnet/IP) FTP can be used to download a new firmware image. EtherCAT and POWERLINK has protocol specific services for firmware download. HMS provides a Firmware Manager tool for easy firmware upgrade.
These are questions that primarily should be directed to the party that integrated the CompactCom into their device, it is not something that HMS keeps track of or can provide information about. The software inside the application device alone decides what kind of process data setup to use on the network side, and also has the possibility to customize the identity that it will present on the network so we cannot say if one of our default description files should be compatible with a certain implementation, or what the corresponding process data map would look like.
In the case that the application software lets the Anybus CompactCom run with its default HMS identity the example description files that we provide on the download page for each Anybus CompactCom should normally work, but configuration settings like the process data map is still something that is decided by the application-side software.
As an aid when designing the power supply electronics, the networks have been divided into classes based on their power consumption as follows. Design your power supply according to the classification below depending on the intended networks. • Class A: This class includes network modules that require less than 250mA of supply current. • Class B: This class includes network modules that require up to 500mA of supply current. • Class C: This class includes network modules that require up to 1000mA of supply current. Please see the CompactCom M40 Hardware Design Guide, chapter “A-7 Power Supply Considerations” for information about classification for the different networks.
