Product Description:

The 502-03510-41R1 processor module is produced by Kollmorgen for the PIC900 Drives series. It installs inside a multi-axis drive chassis and supplies real-time control logic for coordinated motion in industrial automation cells, allowing the drive rack to execute position loops and sequencing commands that would otherwise burden the plant PLC. By embedding a microprocessor and dedicated memory on this plug-in board, the design separates time-critical servo routines from higher-level network traffic and supports deterministic updates to each axis in packaging, printing, and material-handling machines.

Its computing core is an 80C186 microprocessor clocked at 8 MHz, supported by 256K of application memory for compiled PICPRO routines. The board commands up to 6 servo axes every 8 ms, a scheduling window that supports tight velocity and position loops. Core logic draws 310 mA at +5 V, while the auxiliary rails require only 10 mA each at -15 V and +15 V, keeping dissipation within passive-cooled limits. A 9-pin D PICPRO connector links the board to an external PC for program transfer, and a separate 10-pin screw-terminal user port carries machine I/O with RTS/CTS handshaking at 19.2 kbaud so barcode readers or proximity switches can be polled without additional serial adapters.

The module holds 1 Megabyte of system address space, accommodating diagnostic buffers and other control resources beyond the fixed 32K user memory that stores ladder or structured-text programs. When a larger upload is required, data can be transferred through the PICPRO link at 115200 baud, which shortens transfer time for program files. Despite these resources, the hardware footprint remains compact at 41 × 305 × 213 mm, allowing the card to slide into standard PIC900 racks without reworking existing enclosures.
