Notes
Standard off-the-shelf versions of the CPUM card run “standard” versions of firmware and are typically pre-configured with a “standard” configuration.
Customer specific versions of the CPUM card typically run “special” versions of firmware that support customer-specific functions and/or are pre-configured with a customer-specific
configuration. Contact Meggitt Sensing Systems for additional information.
In the CPUM ordering number (PNR) column, the letter Cindicates the following versions of the CPUM card:
1Modular CPU card with one Ethernet interface and one serial interface (integral Ethernet and serial communication ports providing 1x RS-232 or RS-485/422 and 1x integral
Ethernet controller).
3Modular CPU card with two Ethernet interfaces and one serial interface (integral Ethernet and serial communication ports, with an additional Ethernet controller module providing
redundant Ethernet).
4Modular CPU card with one Ethernet interface and two serial interfaces (integral Ethernet and serial communication ports, with an additional serial communications module
providing redundant RS-485/422).
The change in the CPUM ordering number (PNR) from 200-595-075-C2x to 200-595-076-Dxx corresponds to the CPUM card update in 2015 to use a new PC/104 CPU module
(PFM-541I or equivalent) that supports two Ethernet interfaces by default, which required updates to the underlying carrier board. (Previously, the CPUM card was fitted with a CPU
module (MSM586SEN or equivalent) that supports one Ethernet interface by default and required an additional Ethernet controller module (MSME104 or equivalent) to be fitted in
order to be Ethernet redundant.)
In the CPUM ordering number (PNR) column, the letter Dindicates the following versions of the CPUM card:
3Ethernet redundant versions of the CPUM card, that is, with two Ethernet interfaces (and two serial interfaces).
5Serial redundant versions of the CPUM card, that is, with two Ethernet interfaces (and two serial interfaces) and two additional serial interfaces.
For an explanation of the Discrete value coded in analog register column, see 8.6.5 Discrete values coded in an analog value register.

Edition 9 - February 2018
NOTE: When using CPUM firmware version 071 or later to implement Modbus
communications, it is important to read both Chapter 8 and Chapter 9 because
9 Setting up a Modbus connection (CPUM firmware version 071 or later) builds on
the information provided in Chapter 8.
NOTE: When using CPUM firmware version 081 or later to implement PROFINET
communications, it is important to also read Chapter 8 and Chapter 9 because
10 Setting up a PROFINET connection (CPUM firmware version 081 or later)
builds on the information provided in Chapter 8 and Chapter 9.
